Not relevant. Iraq's violation of UN resolutions is between the UN and Iraq; the US government has no authority from the US Constitution nor US law which authorizes enforcement of UN resolutions outside the UN. Israel has violation over 60 UN resolutions, care to invade them next? Based on your assertions, that would have to happen. However, there is nothing in US law, nor I'm happy to say, in American common law which is more important, that would authorize such an undertaking against any foreign nation. What is important is that George W. Bush unilaterally decided, in violation of US law and international law, to invade a sovereign foreign nation, Iraq, and should stand trial for it.

Iraq's violation of UN resolutions IS between Iraq and The United States. We are the only credible force in the UN and they have descended into corrupt chaos that we are not bound by. Kofi's and the UN's hands were so dirty with the prostitution of Iraq that any perceived credibility that they had was lost long ago. We are not bound to abide by the UN. They are not our government. The Founders NEVER envisioned our national security or sovereignty to be handed over to a collection of foreign dictators and other socialist scumbags; although the Constitution has been MISINTERPRETED to read that it has (something you formerly were against, but your pendulum seems to swing in favor of for this particular issue), it hasn't. The Founders did not envision this perversion of the Constitution, and you and I both know it...So save your wishy-washy schizophrenic interpretation of the Constitution for someone more gullible.
Bush broke no Constitutional mandate or law. I don't care how many far-right nobodys or communist websites say it. We are not bound by the UN's corrupt dictates (forgive the pun). Our President is invested with wartime powers, by the Constitution, with the approval of the Senate, under the procedures set forth in the FISA rulings.
Saddam was harboring and funding international terrorists, terrorists involved with 9-11. These terrorists not only had a safe-haven in Iraq, but they had a willing accomplice (Saddam Hussein) who would love nothing more than to anonymously detonate a nook-u-lur bomb in the US or Israel...Al qaeda had a track record of being able to deliver an effective long range throw...BINGO!!!...Justification.
Pat, buddy, you are walking arm-in-arm with the anti-American communists in liberal drag, does that not concern you in the slightest?
