	2003 invasion of Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Proponents of the war claim that the invasion had implicit approval of the Security Council and was therefore not in violation of the UN Charter.
		At the same time Tony Blair's Attorney General Lord Goldsmith, while concluding that a reasonable case could be made that resolution 1441 required no further resolution of the UN, he could not guarantee that an invasion in the circumstances would not be challenged on legal grounds.
		Critics of the war, especially those on the political left argued that media organizations should attempt to be objective or neutral in presenting the facts of the invasion, and should not be deferential to claims made by the politicians or the military leaders of their country.

		And a serious potential commander in chief would not resort again to relying upon baseless New York Times assertions (assertions that lack evidence) to advance the idea that the storied 3rd Infantry and 101st Airborne Divisions were somehow negligent in their duties.

	Iraq: Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong War
		I won't argue with their assessment that Hussein is an evil and murderous tyrant; clearly he is. I won't argue that venal or frivolous motives lie behind the administration's push for war—such as a desire to control Iraqi oil fields or a personal vendetta on the part of President Bush.
		In the run-up to Gulf War I, Dick Cheney's Pentagon warned that a quarter of a million Iraqi troops and 1,500 tanks were massed at the Saudi border, ready to invade.

	America Held Hostage- by Justin Raimondo
		This would gather all the elements of a broad anti-Shia alliance in one place, and lay the foundations for future action — in Syria, perhaps, where a confrontation is looming, and ultimately in Iran, the real target of the regime-changers.
		The narrative of this war is being carefully articulated: it is, we are told, a "proxy war" being waged by Hezbollah, which the conspiracy theorists insist is merely an Iranian instrument.
		This is the time for antiwar writers to find their voice and take advantage of the very large audience we can offer for their work.

	THE WRONG MAN AT THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME: Kerry doesn't understand the war.
		It was a war and we needed to fight it like soldiers fight a war, not like the FBI disrupts a stock-fraud ring.
		The jihad, moreover, is not war between nations; it is a series of shifting fronts in a battle between Islam on one hand and a perceived alliance of infidels and apostates on the other — a battle that rages until one side (as he sees it, his side) achieves total victory.
		Even Kerry's staunchest ally, the New York Times, was forced to admit as much this week — although the Gray Lady took pains to bury deep in the 24th paragraph of its analysis any allusion to the creed that knits the global jihad together.

		War is ugly and it involves subjugation of a culture in order to recreate that culture.
		In "The War Tapes," one soldier/auteur complains frequently about the risks he and his comrades take to protect the property of the Halliburton subsidiary subcontracted to feed the troops: "Why the f--- am I sitting out here guarding a truck full of cheesecake?" he laments.

		The wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy.
		The first tests of a virtuous war are whether it is just, honest and as respectful as possible of civilian life.
		And so we get signed up to a war devoid of limit and so thin on enemies, beyond the spectral bin Laden that we are forced to invent some back-up villains.

	Body and Soul: The death of Dilawar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Not long after, the Los Angeles Times, reporting on testimony by the doctor who performed the autopsy at a preliminary hearing for an MP charged in the assault, added significant details about the brutality involved.
		Dilawar was a shy, frail, uneducated cab driver who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time -- driving past a base that had been the target of a rocket attack earlier in the day.
		And for those who do argue that senseless innocent death is the greatest disaster of war, using the excuse that you can only comment on actions done "in your name" by US troops is a disgraceful cop-out in the face of the greater moral question posed by such deaths.

		Imagine the horror, the sad, sad horror: we are on borrowed time and the only reason we are not under threat, under any serious threat is because the passport holders of some of the G8 countries are evacuating to safer harbors.
		If one were to evaluate the situation in vulgar sectarian terms, when it comes to representing the interests of their constituency they certainly do a better job than all the political representatives presently and in the past.

		And if you don't...if you can't stick with the war through the horrible and unexpected things happening, if you're just a big ninny who runs around shrieking hysterically that it's gone off the rails, sorry, but your support is less than useless, and you shouldn't have gotten involved in it in the first place.
		It is true, but this time, we are also determined not to let the other side, the terrorists, win the media war, and we are trying to be out there with the facts, with the information.

	Eric Umansky: Global War on Terrorism: "Wrong Concept"
		America entered World War I over the issue of unrestricted submarine warfare, an entirely reasonable tactic from the German point of view that Americans took to represent a barbarous contempt for civilized values as well as hostility to their country and contempt for the lives of their countrymen.
		An awareness that the war in Iraq is part of a broader US policy of aggressively pursuing global oil and natural gas reserves to maintain the US economic and strategic dominance over the world.
		War is the PNAC mantra and peace converted into globally sustainable energy supplies for the world will have to be Bush's and the PNAC's nemesis.

	CIA officer claims U.S. fighting wrong war - Nightly News with Brian Williams - MSNBC.com
		A career CIA officer claims in a new book that America is losing the war on terror, in part because of the invasion of Iraq, which, he says, distracted the United States from the war against terrorism and further fueled al-Qaida’s struggle against the United States.
		The real enemy, he asserts, is the radical form of Islam that bin Laden and his followers espouse.
		And I tried to draw an analogy between our war against Mexico in the 19th century and just saying it is not part of the American character or our basic sense of decency to wage wars except in self-defense or preemption.

		My friend was going to get married, and during the time that we were staying in Karachi, we were staying in the mosque.
		We were taken out of that prison on the basis that we spoke English and we were British, and we were taken to Kandahar, the camp they had in Kandahar, and we were interrogated there numerous times, beaten there, as well.
		And that was impossible to comprehend, from being under 24-hour lockdown, being called the worst of the worst, 48 hours later, walking the streets of the UK.

		It’s a numbers game now as the campaigns calculate where to focus their time and their money in the final weeks of this campaign and as the number of tightly contested states sink, Florida remains crucial just as it was in the year 2000.
		I think in many ways the British were very misled in going to war against America and in trying to enforce their will on people who were quite different from them at the time.
		And another one is whenever possible, Chris, to avoid war, to let war be a last resort and not have the premise of a preemptive war.

		The ultimate war aims of Osama's jihad are to drive us off the sacred soil of Saudi Arabia, expel Israel from Palestine and Jerusalem, and end U.S. hegemony in the Middle East.
		Do we pour in whatever money and blood are needed to fight on to victory in a land where we are not loved and where the enemy can fight the kind of war Islamic warriors have fought successfully against the French in Algeria, the Russians in Afghanistan and the Israelis in Lebanon.

	'Dead Wrong' - or Outright Deception?- by Justin Raimondo
		The WMD report is about as damning as it is possible to get, short of an indictment in a court of law: "dead wrong" is damned strong, especially given the typically understated language of these sorts of documents.
		His story was chock full of details, including the layout of the office where he had supposedly worked, the names on the doors, and the methods used by the Iraqis to hide the facility.
		It will prove in a court of law what I have long contended: that the only way to understand this shameful episode in the history of American wars is to look at the series of "mistakes" and "miscalculations" as a covert operation carried out by agents of a foreign power.
