Yeah. Big success!

well with the exception of resolution 1441The resolution cited many factors to justify the use of military force against Iraq:[2][3]
Iraq's noncompliance with the conditions of the 1991 cease fire, including interference with weapons inspectors. (fact)
Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, and programs to develop such weapons, posed a "threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region." (500 munitions found after invasion as well as 550 tons of yellow cake)
Iraq's "brutal repression of its civilian population."
Iraq's "capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction against other nations and its own people".
Iraq's hostility towards the United States as demonstrated by the alleged 1993 assassination attempt of former President George H. W. Bush, and firing on coalition aircraft enforcing the no-fly zones following the 1991 Gulf War.
Members of al-Qaeda, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq. (also found to be true as many have killed in Iraq sense)
Iraq's "continu[ing] to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations," including anti-United States terrorist organizations. al-Qaeda in Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (fact)
Iraq paid bounty to families of suicide bombers.
The efforts by the Congress and the President to fight terrorists, and those who aided or harbored them.
The authorization by the Constitution and the Congress for the President to fight anti-United States terrorism.
The governments in Turkey, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia feared Saddam and wanted him removed from power.
Citing the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, the resolution reiterated that it should be the policy of the United States to remove the Saddam Hussein regime and promote a democratic replacement.
The resolution "supported" and "encouraged" diplomatic efforts by President George W. Bush to "strictly enforce through the U.N. Security Council all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq" and "obtain prompt and decisive action by the Security Council to ensure that Iraq abandons its strategy of delay, evasion, and noncompliance and promptly and strictly complies with all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq."
The resolution authorized President Bush to use the Armed Forces of the United States "as he determines to be necessary and appropriate" in order to "defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq."
[edit]Passage
An authorization by Congress was sought by President George W. Bush soon after his September 12, 2002, statement before the U.N. General Assembly asking for quick action by the Security Council in enforcing the resolutions against Iraq.[4][5]
Of the legislation introduced by Congress in response to President Bush's requests,[6] S.J.Res. 45 sponsored by Sen. Daschle & Sen. Lott was based on the original White House proposal authorizing the use of force in Iraq, H.J.Res. 114 sponsored by Rep. Hastert & Rep. Gephardt and the substantially similar S.J.Res. 46 sponsored by Sen. Lieberman were modified proposals. H.J.Res. 110 sponsored by Rep. Hastings was a separate proposal never considered on the floor. Eventually, the Hastert-Gephardt proposal became the legislation Congress focused on.
Introduced in Congress on October 2, 2002, in conjunction with the Administration's proposals,[2][7] H.J.Res. 114 passed the House of Representatives on Thursday afternoon at 3:05 p.m. EDT on October 10, 2002, by a vote of 296-133,[8] and passed the Senate after midnight early Friday morning, at 12:50 a.m. EDT on October 11, 2002, by a vote of 77-23.[9] It was signed into law as Pub.L. 107-243 by President Bush on October 16, 2002.

We shouldn't have intervened in Iraq or Libya. That's the reality. The Left and Neocons are just playing games and arguing over petty semantics. They actually agree on so much. So it is funny watching them pretend they disagree with each other. Our current President should have gone to our Congress for approval of the Libyan War though. I firmly stand behind my feelings on that. It's time for a truly humble Foreign Policy. No more awful Foreign Interventions. Time to fix our own broken Nation.
Neocons are tea partiers are republicans. same players, same voters. They dont fool me.
I am an isolationist. The middle east is crazy. We should NOT be involved with them, much less have our forces over there.
There is very little difference between a Socialist/Progressive and a Neocon. They're both Big Government Nanny Staters in the end. And they both love all these Foreign Interventions. They like to pretend they disagree so much but they really do agree on most issues. So who will be bombing & killing next? Stay tuned.

Wrong again as ususal.

The language of SCR 1441 is clear that the only actions that members would take if the inspectors found any of the alleged WMD or if they were hindered in their search was for the SC to reconviene to determine what to do. That is the only way several countries would sign off on it.

I stand by what i stated. There is very little difference between a Socialist/Progressive and Neocon. They agree on much more than they disagree on.

So your stating that the 62% that voted in the last election in Iraq voted to support the country of Iran and Syria?
do you have proof of that?
From JRK's link wikilink.....
Most member governments of the United Nations Security Council made clear that after resolution 1441 there still was no authorization for the use of force. Indeed, at the time 1441 was passed, both the U.S. and UK representatives stated explicitly that 1441 contained no provision for military action. As the New York Times noted about the negotiations,
'There's no 'automaticity' and this is a two-stage process, and in that regard we have met the principal concerns that have been expressed for the resolution, [stated then U.S. Ambassador Negroponte] Whatever violation there is, or is judged to exist, will be dealt with in the council, and the council will have an opportunity to consider the matter before any other action is taken.[79]
The British ambassador to the UN, Sir Jeremy Greenstock concurred,
We heard loud and clear during the negotiations the concerns about "automaticity" and "hidden triggers" - the concern that on a decision so crucial we should not rush into military action; that on a decision so crucial any Iraqi violations should be discussed by the Council. Let me be equally clear in response, as one of. the co-sponsors of the text we have adopted. There is no "automaticity" in this Resolution.[80]
The UN itself never had the chance to declare that Iraq had failed to take its "final opportunity" to comply as the U.S. invasion made it a moot point
what does the UN have to do with the US congress and the terms it set forth to attack?
Saddam did not meet HR-1441
we invaded
again you have shown nothing in our constitution that states the UN has jurisdiction in the matters that concern our country, its congress nor its president
The UN was specifically mentioned in the resolution. The UN was set up to stop wars of aggression.
Give me a break. everyone who was a neo con and supported them are now big tea partiers.
I just call them republicans and keep it easy.
The right wing keeps trying to re-invent itself as it denies what it has done in the past. I fully expect all repubs to embrace the tea partiers...they are already doing it! different name, same folks.....PS-there are no socialists.....
Lib, shut up yourself. You are a right-wing progressive, who is out of his depth here.
