Yes, "there is little to be accomplished in talking to (you) about the Iraq war", if the pro-war faction is going to use the Gulf War resolution as a blank check for and nation to unilaterially decide to invade and occupy Iraq... That clearly was not the intent and it using it a justification is a massive legalistic stretch...
(But, Bobert, we are talking Bush & Co. here... Massive leagalistic stretches is their M.O....)
Like I said, this is legalezee mumbo-jumbo that has nothing to to with the realities on the ground in current Iraq... It's also some very creative revisioonism...
If the Safwan agreement was Bush's legal justificatioon then why would he send Powelll back to the UN to try to hammer out some current resolution justifying the invasion... And why would he hammer a resolution thru a post 9/11 beat-down Congress???
There seems to be a synapse-void here and a complete disonnect of logic...
