"So is it your argument ***now*** that the UN ordered up the invasion, bb??? "

How did I say that?

The UNR was passed, giving Saddam a FINAL CHANCE to comply with all the previous UNR. The earlier UNR had already authorized the use of force, and when the ceasefire terms were invalidated by Saddam being in violation of UNR1441, some of the nations previously authorized to take action did so.


I never saw a single vote in Congress authorizing the occupation of Germany or Japan in 1945- I did see the declaration of war which was passed in 1941.
