Subject: RE: BS: So.....you say Bush lied?
As before, I have stated that the failure of Saddam to comply with the cease-fire conditions is sufficient to allow the use of force.

Yes, in other words, there is no specific language that authorizes the US or any body other than the UN to instigate force or to take any action other than providing full support to the inspectors who were doing the job that the UN gave them to do. And furthermore, the most recent evaluations by Hans Blix show that Saddam was complying with the cease-fire conditions.

Only in your mind does what you consider to be a failure on the part of Saddam to comply, justify the US/Britain led invasion. But your fantasies about international laws and treaties, and the actual laws and treaties themselves are two entirely different things. According to international law and the treaties signed by the US, the US is in violation of the UN resolutions that prohibit any country from invading Iraq while the UN inspections process was still underway, as stated in the resolution that you, yourself, provided a link to in this thread.
