MBC or Scrooge - why was it illegal? I can clearly cite why it was. There was a cease fire. it was repeatedly broken, thereby ending the cease fire. Saddam was not just to allow inspecters in, MBC, but full and unfettered access to anywhere without notice. This was clearly not happening. He also was violating no fly zones and shooting at our patrol aircraft, violations as well. He offered assylum to Osama.
No WMD. I am not familiar with the Downing Street memo, but I find it interesting that it came out days before the British election, just like the forged docs regarding President Bush came out. I cannot say it was forged, but the timing is similar. But to say that the British intelligence and American intelligence were lying is to say Egyptian and Russian intelligence was lying as well, just to name two others. I still wonder what Saddam did with the rest of what he used on his own people - no proof of destruction of what he had. What did he do with it?
Scrooge, the pictures you speak of were not what Durbin was referring to. He was referring specifically to Guantanamo, not the pics from Abu Ghraib. I stand by my criticism of Durbin 100%.
