>>The anti-Bush, anti-war, chattering left on this Forum have worked themselves into a lather bleating about how all the muslim Arabs hate us because of what Bush has done. Utter crap, they hated you long before that, they declared their war on you long before that, or was the attack in Beirut and the first attack on the WTC in 1993 just a figment of everyones imagination.<<

So because a handful of fanatics attacked us, that means we can fabricate intelligence to justify invading a country that was no threat to us, destabilize all of the Middle East, drive literally millions out of their homes, get hundreds of thousands of people (many of them women and children) killed, hold people in prison indefinitely and torture them as much as we want. Have you ever been to the Middle East? Well, I have and I was amazed at how much they liked us. The average Muslim there basically liked the US and had a positive view of us. They don't now. THAT's what we're talking about when we say they hate us now. But, of course, to you, there's no difference between a fanatical killer of Muslim persuasion and an average Middle Eastern person who gets up in the morning and goes to work and tries to provide for his family and who just wants a good life same as you and me--and happens to be Muslim. You really are a hopeless asshole, aren't you? Yes, you are.

>>Oh, hang on wait a minute we'll probably get some TWAT post and tell us that that attack had something to do with some dark sinister corporation's scheme to further their goal of world domination that was only possible because George W Bush's second cousin fifteen times removed knew someone who's Aunt's brother was a janitor in the building.<<

Sorry to disappoint you but the response you're getting is the one above. Especially the last two sentences.

>>No "UN Authorisation" for any of them - TRUE?<<

True, as far as I know.

>>The reason for that is that no "UN Authorisation" was ever required.<<

To my knowledge you are exactly correct. Now, can you answer the question below with a simple yes or no?

Was any authorization by the UN ever given to Bush to invade?

You have STILL not answered that. NOBODY here is disputing that Bush needed UN authorization. At least I'm not and Ron is not if I understand him correctly. What we're asking you is to back up your assertion that Bush did in fact HAVE such authorization. THAT is what we are asking.

You were wrong. Why can't you just admit it? You are super-anal about the need to be correct about every little thing. You must have driven your family out of their minds as a kid. Christ, I thought I was bad. Even I admit to being wrong as much as I hate to do it but I at least have enough integrity to admit when I can't deny what is in front of my face. But you...good lord, I've never seen anyone like you and I hope I never do again.
