What the hell is wrong with you? I never said it did. Somebody upthread asked what U.N. resolution HJ114 was referring to and I told them. If you know of some other UN resolution, lets hear it.

ImGod

I suppose to some it does.

Hint:
Think dodging the issue by creating a diversion.

Tristan Scott

OK. I'll ask you the same thing I asked your idiot pal Ziprbrain. What exactly is the issue that I am dodging?

Optional

No, the original question was "What security council resolution authorized Bush's war?" 1441 did not authorize force, therefore it didn't authorize the war.

Care to plead dumb again?

Allow me to intervene here.

Tristan Scott has pointed out that Bush used 1441 as legitimization for his order.

Tristan Scott has not (so far) defended the legitimacy of Bush using 1441, he has merely noted that Bush so used it.

Therefore Tristan Scott is not being evasive.

The issue of whether Bush is a complete prat who would use 1441, or yesterday's toilet paper for that matter, as illegitimate legitimization for something is a completely seperate issue, and has little to do with Tristan's note.

'course, somewhere along the line I might be wrong on this.

Tristan Scott

I don't disagree with you, but the administration does. They felt that Iraq's refusal to comply with 1441 authorized the use of force.

And incidently, ZIprheads post where he asked ""What security council resolution authorized Bush's war?" was preceded by the excerpt of HJ 114 that referred to the UN resolution. But I'm sure you already knew that, didn't you?

Gurdur

I was not wrong after all.

Tristan Scott

No, I think you nailed it.

Gurdur

I am a more careful reader than others.
