@COCK IN THE BOX RESOLUTION 1441 DID *NOT* GIVE AMERICA AUTHORITY TO ATTACK. IF IRAQ REFUSED TO COMPLY UNDER 1441 AMERICA WAS TO MEET WITH THE SECURITY COUNCIL AND GO FROM THAT POINT. AMERICA WAS NOT TO WAGE WAR FOR MYSTERIOUS WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION THAT AMERICA NOW SAYS IRAQ DIDN'T HAVE. 1441 DOES ***NOT*** GIVE ***ANYONE*** THE RIGHT TO DECIDE IF AND WHEN IRAQ SHOULD FACE CONSEQUENCES ***EXCEPT*** FOR THE SECURITY COUNCIL. THE LANGUAGE USED IN 1441 IS "SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES". DEFINE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FOR US. THAT COULD MEAN MORE SANCTIONS NOT ATTACKS AND INVASIONS. PLEASE DON'T LIST 678 AND 687 TO BACK YOUR CLAIMS. IN FACT I DON'T SEE WHY YOU LISTED 1441 WHEN WE WENT OVER THIS BEFORE.
SINCE IRAQ DOES NOT HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION (NONE HAVE BEEN FOUND) HOW IS IT IN MATERIAL BREACH? IF IRAQ NEVER HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION HOW ARE THEY NOT COMPLYING?!?
BTW I NO LONGER PRAY FOR YOUR SWIFT DEMISE....I PRAY FOR YOUR SLOW...AND PAINFUL DEMISE....
