bombing raids were illegal

It just keeps getting better:

A SHARP increase in British and American bombing raids on Iraq in the run-up to war “to put pressure on the regime” was illegal under international law, according to leaked Foreign Office legal advice.

The advice was first provided to senior ministers in March 2002. Two months later RAF and USAF jets began “spikes of activity” designed to goad Saddam Hussein into retaliating and giving the allies a pretext for war.

The Foreign Office advice shows military action to pressurise the regime was “not consistent with” UN law, despite American claims that it was.


There's that famous phrase, "despite American claims" to the contrary. So very much an administration that just, flat out lies. Everything about the Iraq invasion has come up with the "despite American claims" overview. There were no WMD, "despite American claims." There is no connection to 9/11 and Iraq, "despite American claims." There has been prisoner abuse at Gitmo, "despite American claims." You get my drift.

This country stooped so low as to try to PROVOKE Saddam into firing a shot so that we COULD START A WAR IN RETALIATION. This just sucks. I know the Crawford bunch THINKS they're real shoot-em-up cowboys, but I'm pretty sure that the DumbOne would lose if he was on the other end of a real shooting showdown. He only talks from the hip, they're not a prayer's chance in hell he could shoot from the hip to save his life.

Asshole.

IMPEACH BUSH. IMPEACH BUSH. IMPEACH BUSH.
