There were but in those speeches Bush gave to the nation it was all about self defence. We have to defend our self from Saddam. He has WMD's, He's making nukes, He's gona give them to terrorist, he was connected to 9-11. That is what Bush used to justify the war to this nation not the UN stuff,
Also the US can not enforce UN resolutions anyway without the backing of the UN.

you may want to read the content of the un resolution and the terms of the cease fire .... i belive the only group that has ever claimed saddam was connected to 9-11 is the media and the left ....
afganistan was invaded because of 9-11
iraq was invaded because of a breach of 18 un resolutions.....you do know that under clinton we shot down iraqi jets and bombed iraqi radar installations without un approval becasue of a breach in the cease fire trety from gulf war I

Yes. Clinton lobbed a few missle and them and maybe someone else, don't remember. Wasn't into politics at that time.

so it would seem that the us govt had set precedence that iraq was a threat prior to 9-11 .... through 8 years of democrat leadership which was acting unilatteraly without un approval or international approval....
seems bush was simply following in bubbas footprints...with respect to iraq

Except he started a war that isn't going well and you tend to face harsher criticism and a higher standard when you do that. Might not be totally intellectually honest but that’s how it is.

somalia didn't go well...going well is a matter of perspective.....i think well is defined by the press as no one dies .... hell not one big city in the us can claim things are going well....

Didn't Clinton take a lot of heat for somalia. That's the one where a bunch of marines were killed in an explosion and we pulled out isn't it.

So the black hawk down one is Somalia.

lebanon was the explosion under reagan
somalia was a peacekeeping mission where we went in to capture a somali war lord and two of our choppers got shot down and several marines were killed....book and a movie about it ...black hawk down....
don't recall clinton getting much heat....then he bailed on the rawandans and let them kill each other....

Sorry we haven't got there in history. We're just starting on Bush 1 now and I didn't live thru it.
