Quote from: "Bricktop""During the renewed inspections beginning in November 2002, Blix found no stockpiles of WMD and noted the "proactive" but not always "immediate" Iraqi cooperation as called for by UN Security Council Resolution 1441".



Saddam complied with the inspections, which uncovered NO evidence of weapons of mass destruction. None.



There was no basis for war. All evidence provided by the US was false, and worse, it was clear that due diligence as to the source of the information was either never applied, or was ignored.



A country of 20 million people, with no longreach military force, was NOT a threat to the US or ANY of it's allies.



Nobody can deny, based on evidence, that America's war on Iraq was a response to the 9/11 terror strike which had NO connection to Iraq. Bush and his cronies needed to make an example of someone, and Hussein was it. That is an illegal war.



Even the British government acknowledges that there was no lawful, moral or reasonable justification to attack Iraq.



If America relies on the argument that "Saddam was a bad man", then why has it not invaded a dozen other countries...in particular North Korea...that are ruled by bad men WITH WMD's? The answer is clear; there would be too many killed. Bush was relying on a rapid collapse and capitulation of the Iraqi army which eventuated. He failed to grasp, as so many before him have failed to grasp that overcoming a military force is one thing...occupying a country is quite another.



The war was illegal. Bush should be prosecuted.

As I recall Saddam was not letting UN inspectors in some places.  And many of the western intelligence agencies believed saddam had WMDs.  



Again I was not for the war, Bush could have bombed the places Saddam wouldn't allow inspection of and left it at that (that's what Clinton did).



Nonetheless if this is a "war crime" then why isn't George H Bush's first Gulf war a war crime? why isn't Clinton's bombing Serbia a war crime? Why aren't

 Obama's actions in Yemen, Syria, Somalia, and Libya war crimes?
