"that invading Japan and Germany during World War II might be construed as "illegal." "

It is the logic that Bobert appears to be using.


** I ** have not claimed so: I just pointed out that there is no direct order from Congress about that invasion. There is no direct UNR about removing Saddam, but IMO it was implicit in the many UNR, if Saddam did not comply. And the UN stated that Saddam did not comply. Anyone wjho states otherwise is an illiterate or deliberate liar. the UN declared that Iraq was NOT im compliance with UNR1441.
