Subject: RE: BS: New thread on WMD
Ok. I'll attempt to bring it down to your level.

None of the UN resolutions that you invoke in these threads, or that the government of the US invokes, in order to justify its invasion of Iraq, in any way authorize the US to invade Iraq.

The US violated at least one UN resolution when it invaded Iraq.

The US is in violation of at least one UN resolution.

There is no UN resolution that authorized the US invasion of Iraq.

The US invaded Iraq under the authority of no UN resolutions.

The US did not have any authority to invade Iraq except for the authority it gave itself to do so.

The US acted on its own authority when it invaded Iraq.

The US did not act under any authority granted to it by the UN when it invaded Iraq, because the UN did not grant it any authority to do so.

The US invaded Iraq because it wanted to for its own reasons. It did not do so in order to uphold any UN resolutions, because the UN did not give it the authority to attack Iraq for the purpose of upholding any resolutions. The US attacked Iraq because it wanted to.
