Why should we be surprised at Bolton's comments regarding the U.S.' disregard for Security Council support. After all, the lack of "FULL" support from the SC didn't stop the US for one second when it 'invaded' Irag.
I guess I take pleasure realizing that AT LAST a majority of pollings taken in the US today seem to find people rising up and stating their believe that Irag was nothing more than a bumbled attempt at hiding the REAL reasons for the 'war.' The Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz-Perle and the rest of the Jewsih lobby having their way with the world
Can we say 'US Imperialism??'
and.......how can the EU stomach putting troops into South Lebenon and mopping up Israel's embarrasment WITHOUT the US and British sending one soldier in a peacekeeping manner!!

actually the United Nations supported the U.S. liberation of Iraq, you need to check your facts.
The liberation of Iraq was directed at containing Iran and had nothing to do with some sort of jewish lobby. Actually, the jews no longer need a lobby to maintain our support.

quote:In March 2003 the US government announced that "diplomacy has failed" and that it would proceed with a "coalition of the willing" to rid Iraq of its alleged "weapons of mass destruction". The 2003 Iraq war officially started a few days later.
Prior to this decision, there had been a good deal of diplomacy and debate amongst the members of the UN Security Council over whether there should be a war in Iraq. This article examines the positions of these states as they changed over the period 2002-2003.
Prior to 2002, the UN Security Council had passed sixteen resolutions on Iraq. In 2002, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1441 on Iraq unanimously. In 2003, the US, UK, and Spanish governments proposed another resolution on Iraq, which they called the "eighteenth resolution" and others called the "second resolution". This proposed resolution was subsequently withdrawn because not enough countries would have supported it, making it a political mistake for its sponsors.
On September 16, 2004 Kofi Annan, the Secretary General of the United Nations, speaking on the invasion, said, "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN charter. From our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was illegal."
And you mean OCCUPYING and not liberating Iraq and targetting Iran. And then there was no need to lie about the WMD or relating Iraq to 9/11..your government lied before and will lie again and again as long as the sheeple follow .
