dontlop Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) UN Resolution 1441 Bush is on Record saying this is why he went in to Iraq, Same as Obama when he bombed Libya using U.N. Resolution 1970 and U.N. Resolution 1973 BOTH BUSH AND O ACTED (as other Presidents have) w/o Congressional approval, the reason is simple, they (Iraq and Libya) no longer wanted to sell goods (oil etc) for dollars, but rather GOLD..... As far as Operation North Wood, that is what eventually led the Elite to take out oe of their own in Kennedy,JFK was angry at being mis-lead with false info (CIA) on Bay of Pigs (Govt purposely did this so they could implement operation NorthWoods) that when they brought the plan to him to JFK per Sec of Defense Robert McNamara JFK refused and let/ fired/ layoff go of his Chief of Staff General Lymon Louis Lemnitzer (wonder if he got a furlough). The final straw came 11/11/62 when JFK was shown photos of Cuban Missile bases, the joint chiefs pressed JFK for immediate action. But JFK having a conscience and fearing Nuclear Fallout and the Safety of the people refused and instead sent Attorney General RFK to defuse the situation and talk to the Russian Ambassador Anotaly Fyodorovich Dobrynin and the situation was neutralized . Nikita Krushehev in his memoirs is quoted as saying "RFK told AFD that "We are under pressure to use Military Force against Cuba, If the situation continues much longer, the President is not sure that the Military will not overthrow him and seize power. Side Note CIA Director at the time was George Bush (any of you know or heard of him ? ) . Read excerpts from Behold A Pale Horse by William Cooper who has 2 documents on JFK assassination, and last but not least a Conspiracy theorist is a derogatory term used to dismiss a critical thinker.

Res. 114]>> Whereas in 1990 in response to Iraq's war of aggression against and illegal occupation of Kuwait, the United States forged a coalition of nations to liberate Kuwait and its people in order to defend the national security of the United States and enforce United Nations Security Council resolutions relating to Iraq; Whereas after the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, Iraq entered into a United Nations sponsored cease-fire agreement pursuant to which Iraq unequivocally agreed, among other things, to eliminate its nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs and the means to deliver and develop them, and to end its support for international terrorism; Whereas the efforts of international weapons inspectors, United States intelligence agencies, and Iraqi defectors led to the discovery that Iraq had large stockpiles of chemical weapons and a large scale biological weapons program, and that Iraq had an advanced nuclear weapons development program that was much closer to producing a nuclear weapon than intelligence reporting had previously indicated; Whereas Iraq, in direct and flagrant violation of the cease-fire, attempted to thwart the efforts of weapons inspectors to identify and destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction stockpiles and development capabilities, which finally resulted in the withdrawal of inspectors from Iraq on October 31, 1998; Whereas in Public Law 105-235 (August 14, 1998), Congress concluded that Iraq's continuing weapons of mass destruction programs threatened vital United States interests and international peace and security, declared Iraq to be in ``material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations'' and urged the President ``to take appropriate action, in accordance with the Constitution and relevant laws of the United States, to bring Iraq into compliance with its international obligations''; Whereas Iraq both poses a continuing threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region and remains in material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations by, among other things, continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability, actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability, and supporting and harboring terrorist organizations; Whereas Iraq persists in violating resolution of the United Nations Security Council by continuing to engage in brutal repression of its civilian population thereby threatening international peace [[Page 116 STAT. 1499]] and security in the region, by refusing to release, repatriate, or account for non-Iraqi citizens wrongfully detained by Iraq, including an American serviceman, and by failing to return property wrongfully seized by Iraq from Kuwait; Whereas the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction against other nations and its own people; Whereas the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its continuing hostility toward, and willingness to attack, the United States, including by attempting in 1993 to assassinate former President Bush and by firing on many thousands of occasions on United States and Coalition Armed Forces engaged in enforcing the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council; Whereas members of al Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq; Whereas Iraq continues to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations, including organizations that threaten the lives and safety of United States citizens; Whereas the attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, underscored the gravity of the threat posed by the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by international terrorist organizations; Whereas Iraq's demonstrated capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction, the risk that the current Iraqi regime will either employ those weapons to launch a surprise attack against the United States or its Armed Forces or provide them to international terrorists who would do so, and the extreme magnitude of harm that would result to the United States and its citizens from such an attack, combine to justify action by the United States to defend itself; Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 (1990) authorizes the use of all necessary means to enforce United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 (1990) and subsequent relevant resolutions and to compel Iraq to cease certain activities that threaten international peace and security, including the development of weapons of mass destruction and refusal or obstruction of United Nations weapons inspections in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 (1991), repression of its civilian population in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 (1991), and threatening its neighbors or United Nations operations in Iraq in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 949 (1994); Whereas in the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1), Congress has authorized the President ``to use United States Armed Forces pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 (1990) in order to achieve implementation of Security Council Resolution 660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669, 670, 674, and 677''; Whereas in December 1991, Congress expressed its sense that it ``supports the use of all necessary means to achieve the goals of United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 as being consistent with the Authorization of Use of Military Force Against [[Page 116 STAT. 1500]] Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1),'' that Iraq's repression of its civilian population violates United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 and ``constitutes a continuing threat to the peace, security, and stability of the Persian Gulf region,'' and that Congress, ``supports the use of all necessary means to achieve the goals of United Nations Security Council Resolution 688''; Whereas the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-338) expressed the sense of Congress that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove from power the current Iraqi regime and promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime; Whereas on September 12, 2002, President Bush committed the United States to ``work with the United Nations Security Council to meet our common challenge'' posed by Iraq and to ``work for the necessary resolutions,'' while also making clear that ``the Security Council resolutions will be enforced, and the just demands of peace and security will be met, or action will be unavoidable''; Whereas the United States is determined to prosecute the war on terrorism and Iraq's ongoing support for international terrorist groups combined with its development of weapons of mass destruction in direct violation of its obligations under the 1991 cease-fire and other United Nations Security Council resolutions make clear that it is in the national security interests of the United States and in furtherance of the war on terrorism that all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions be enforced, including through the use of force if necessary; Whereas Congress has taken steps to pursue vigorously the war on terrorism through the provision of authorities and funding requested by the President to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such persons or organizations; Whereas the President and Congress are determined to continue to take all appropriate actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such persons or organizations; Whereas the President has authority under the Constitution to take action in order to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States, as Congress recognized in the joint resolution on Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40); and Whereas it is in the national security interests of the United States to restore international peace and security to the Persian Gulf region: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress <<NOTE: Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002. 50 USC 1541 note.>> assembled, SECTION 1.

FACT IS HE DID NOT LIE .. THATS THE FACT . Thank you Dontlop for your response. Now to answer your question, Bush went in on Joint Resolution 114, that Resolution is directly tied to UN Resolution 1441, UN Security Council Article 25 in action, I know what your saying DonLop, Trust me, I do, here's the the thing, The reason he (or any President for that matter since 1945 and even before that, I can cite if you like/ wanna know) doesn't need congressional approval for that matter (1) The President RULES by Executive Order (UN-Constitutional), (2)The Congress sits by Resolution (UN-Constitutional) NOT by Positive Law ( Article 1 The real Constitution states that Legislature can enact Positive Law) Resolutions and Positive Law are 2 different things, just like Legal and Law. (3) Checks and Balance NOT used unless the President is concerned with a potential revolution based on the outcry of the citizens (remember this word CITZENS as i'll touch on that later in the post). (4)Under a Democracy (Legal) the Power structure is Vertical (UN-Constitutional) (1) President (2) Legislature (Congress AND Senate voices Public Opinion) (3) Judicial (Article 1 courts) Most Courts in the country are Article 1 n 2 Courts (4) Judicial Article 3 court (virtually Non-Existent except when it benefits the Elite, How convenient).... Under a Republic (Law) The Power Structure is Horizontal, Checks and Balance,,,, legislature Article 1, (Senate voices States Rights, Congress voices the Peoples Rights),,,, Executive Article 2,,, and Judicial Article 3 courts..........You see from a legal POV based on Democracy you are correct, BUT from the Republic POV based on LAW you are wrong, so it's a matter of what you choose, a Democracy which leads to Communism-(Karl Marx) or A Republic where the people are the GOVT........Definition of Govt DEMOCRACY is that form of Govt in which the sovereign power resides in and is exercised by the WHOLE BODY OF FREE CITIZENS directly or indirectly through a system of representatives. (Blacks Law Dictionary, 6th edition page 432)........,The Definition of a REPUBLICAN GOVT is one in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the PEOPLE, and are EXERCISED BY THE PEOPLE, EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH REPRESENTATIVES CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE, to whom powers are specifically delegated. (Blacks Law Dictionary, 6th Edition Page 695). The reason I used caps when defining BOTH forms of GOVT is that I wanted you/ all who read this post to notice the trick/word play that is being used on us ?.... I think i'll stop here for now and take a break-fast and come back to post more As always With Respect .

The viruses easily spread by air, and people are affected without feeling it." - Uday Hussein, 9/20/01 (NOTE: The first Anthrax-laced letters were mailed on 9/18/01) (That means Hussein's son wrote this before any news had come out about the Anthrax mailings in the U.S.) (Noted in the Wall Street Journal, "Saddam and the Next 9/11", 2/14/03) "In this man's heart (Osama bin Laden) you'll find an insistence, a strange determination that he will reach one day the tunnels of the White House and will bomb it with everything that is in it.....with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House. ...the revolutionary bin Laden is insisting very convincingly that he will strike America on the arm that is already hurting.

You could not be more wrong about Bush or the war. WHY? Did you ever ask yourself why almost all of the 911 hijackers were Saudis - our allies? We never went after SA. Did you ever ask yourself WHY Bush himself admitted there were no WMDs afterwards? And you keep saying there were....who is right? Did you ever ask yourself why we invaded Iraq even though there were no Iraqis on the 911 planes? Did you ever ask yourself WHY we have had our NOSES is the Mid East's business pissing them off for DECADES before the '91 invasion -- and then everybody goes "OH! Gee, we got attacked in NY on 911!" (easy answer - it wasn't the camel nuggets.) You guys stand with former Pres. Bush. Well, that says it all, doesn't it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLadiesDaddy Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have a question for all you liberals in here, What do you think of this? The drone debate is back and this time, it isn't about killing Americans who have joined enemy forces overseas. The Department of Homeland Security has requested drones be able to detect whether civilians are armed during surveillance. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has customized its Predator drones, originally built for overseas military operations, to carry out at-home surveillance tasks that have civil libertarians worried: identifying civilians carrying guns and tracking their cell phones, government documents show.The documents provide more details about the surveillance capabilities of the department's unmanned Predator B drones, which are primarily used to patrol the United States' northern and southern borders but have been pressed into service on behalf of a growing number of law enforcement agencies including the FBI, the Secret Service, the Texas Rangers, and local police.Homeland Security's specifications for its drones, built by San Diego-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, say they "shall be capable of identifying a standing human being at night as likely armed or not," meaning carrying a shotgun or rifle. They also specify "signals interception" technology that can capture communications in the frequency ranges used by mobile phones, and "direction finding" technology that can identify the locations of mobile devices or two-way radios. And guess what? Drones are already flying around domestically for a number of different reasons. So far, they're simply loaded with a camera, not firearms detection devices. They hover over Hollywood film sets and professional sports events. They track wildfires in Colorado, survey Kansas farm crops and vineyards in California. They inspect miles of industrial pipeline and monitor wildlife, river temperatures and volcanic activity.They also locate marijuana fields, reconstruct crime scenes and spot illegal immigrants breaching U.S. borders.Tens of thousands of domestic drones are zipping through U.S. skies, often flouting tight federal restrictions on drone use that require even the police and the military to get special permits.Armed with streaming video, swivel cameras and infrared sensors, a new breed of high-tech domestic drones is beginning to change the way Americans see the world - and each other.

hame55 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Secret U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq Last major stockpile from Saddam's nuclear efforts arrives in Canada The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program — a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium — reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/25546334/ "Saddam Hussein was not involved in 911." -George W.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has customized its Predator drones, originally built for overseas military operations, to carry out at-home surveillance tasks that have civil libertarians worried: identifying civilians carrying guns and tracking their cell phones, government documents show. The documents provide more details about the surveillance capabilities of the department's unmanned Predator B drones, which are primarily used to patrol the United States' northern and southern borders but have been pressed into service on behalf of a growing number of law enforcement agencies including the FBI, the Secret Service, the Texas Rangers, and local police. Homeland Security's specifications for its drones, built by San Diego-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, say they "shall be capable of identifying a standing human being at night as likely armed or not," meaning carrying a shotgun or rifle. They also specify "signals interception" technology that can capture communications in the frequency ranges used by mobile phones, and "direction finding" technology that can identify the locations of mobile devices or two-way radios. And guess what? Drones are already flying around domestically for a number of different reasons. So far, they're simply loaded with a camera, not firearms detection devices. They hover over Hollywood film sets and professional sports events. They track wildfires in Colorado, survey Kansas farm crops and vineyards in California. They inspect miles of industrial pipeline and monitor wildlife, river temperatures and volcanic activity. They also locate marijuana fields, reconstruct crime scenes and spot illegal immigrants breaching U.S. borders. Tens of thousands of domestic drones are zipping through U.S. skies, often flouting tight federal restrictions on drone use that require even the police and the military to get special permits. Armed with streaming video, swivel cameras and infrared sensors, a new breed of high-tech domestic drones is beginning to change the way Americans see the world - and each other.

Do you think because I voted for Obama means I like a police state? That's a bit naive, wouldn't you say? Drones are very bad for everyone. Someday Chinese drones will fly over California shooting up SUV's. Or tiny drones that look like bugs spreading viruses. Not a good thing. OBVIOUSLY. We libs and your righties need to get together and fight the ELITES that run BOTH parties. Get over this left and right thingy....LOL . THEY WANT US FIGHTING! That way we don't go after them...

KiaKaha Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I understand your frustrations, dontlop, I totally do. The problem here is that BOTH parties have been lying to us for SO long, we all think our side is the only one telling us the truth. We need to get away from the two party system and get some new blood in office, I'm afraid, but unfortunately, the vast majority of the American public are brainwashed that only the R or D can win... true, in history, only the R or D has won... but it doesn't have to be that way! I thought when the Tea Party started years ago, they would be able to help us... and they keep trying... but they have aligned themselves with the R rather than a third party. We have to continue to pray for this great nation and her people... ALL of her people... and continue trying to educate OURSELVES to the full truth then try to share our knowledge with our brothers and sisters. Major props to you for taking on the left on this thread... may God bless your mind with clarity and continued conviction...

joekooltrips Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Dontlop your either for a Democracy or a Republic it's your choice. I ask again what was the IRAQI inquiry about ?. U.N. Resolution 1441, you sited House Joint Resolution 114 tied to 1441 there's no way around that. The (resolution HJR 114) you cited was because Bush said they failed to comply with UN Resolution 1441 per UN Resolution 678. The inquiry (Fake as it was) was on the "extent of authority" of UN Resolution 1441, hence why its a House Joint Resolution 114. Why did Bush draft HJR 114 ?. Because in his opinion, Iraq was in VIOLATION of UN Resolution 1441 per UN Resolution 678. The UK shared Bush opinion, while USSR, CHINA, and FRANCE were against( at least that's what they said).

dontlop Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) the United States government has argued, wholly apart from Resolution 1441, that it has a right of pre-emptive self defense to protect itself from terrorism fomented by Iraq. For discussion of pre-emptive self-defense in the terrorism context, see the ASIL Insight, "Pre-emptive Action to Forestall Terrorism" (June 2002). denny hastert and 136 co sponcers sponcered joint resolution 114 .. its a joint resolution to what joe liberman introduced to the senate bill sj 46 >>> S.J.RES.46 -- Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Iraq (Introduced in Senate - IS) SJ 46 IS 107th CONGRESS 2d Session S. J. RES. 46 To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq. IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES October 2, 2002 Mr. LIEBERMAN (for himself, Mr. WARNER, Mr. BAYH, Mr. MCCAIN, Mr. MCCONNELL, Mr. DOMENICI, Mr. HUTCHINSON, Ms. LANDRIEU, Mr. ALLARD, Mr. HELMS, and Mr. MILLER) introduced the following joint resolution; which was read the first time bush didnt draft it .. this is what congress sent to bush after they authenicated the intelligence reports on iraq as well as added their own intell . so the house bill along with the senate bill became a joint resolution .. you look at house resolution resolution 114 <<<< http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-107publ243/html/PLAW-107publ243.htm <<<<<>>>>and senate bill sj46 < <<<<<<<< http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c107:1:./temp/~c107YiCroO >>> they are the joint resolution from congress , they are the same .. .its not a joint resolution with 1441 ,, bush did mention resolution 1441 many times to state to the world he is not in violation of any un resolutions ... because in that resolution 1441 .. he has the full right to do what he did .. Finally, the United States government has argued, wholly apart from Resolution 1441, that it has a right of pre-emptive self defense to protect itself from terrorism fomented by Iraq. For discussion of pre-emptive self-defense in the terrorism context, see the ASIL Insight, "Pre-emptive Action to Forestall Terrorism" (June 2002). http://www.asil.org/insigh92.cfm#_edn2 Edited March 4, 2013 by dontlop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryB Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 About what the war was all about ??? Was protecting our security and our interests. The terrorists were Arab Afganistans, trained under Osama Bin Laden, who was hiding from the Arab government, certainly not supported by it. These terrorists were located in many places, including the US. Good thing they didn't have weapons of mass destruction yet!!!!, or these anti-american terrorists would have done a heck of a lot more damage on 9 /11. I don't care what kind of order Bush used, in my opinion we had to declare war on terrorism, where ever their location, they had to be stopped, and don't think they are not still out there.

dontlop Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES. (a) AUTHORIZATION- The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to-- (1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and (2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq. and enforce un security council resolutions . i guess that could mean its a joint resolution with 1441 and the rest of the un resolutions of iraq About what the war was all about ??? Was protecting our security and our interests. The terrorists were Arab Afganistans, trained under Osama Bin Laden, who was hiding from the Arab government, certainly not supported by it. These terrorists were located in many places, including the US. Good thing they didn't have weapons of mass destruction yet!!!!, or these anti-american terrorists would have done a heck of a lot more damage on 9 /11. I don't care what kind of order Bush used, in my opinion we had to declare war on terrorism, where ever their location, they had to be stopped, and don't think they are not still out there. yes there were many reasons for the removal of saddam hussien and the bathe party govt .. but bush made it clear .. it was about the terrorists getting one vial .. one small canister of a wmd .. and smuggling it into the united states ,, and detonating it in a large population of our society in the form of a suit case bomb.. every day during these times every news channel after 911 was talking about suit case bombs .. dirty bombs .. it was a security matter while we were ingaged in a war on terror . now bush told the world govts .. do not give these terrorists safe haven when they run away from the afganistan war .. we knew from our friends in the north of iraq ... the kurds .. that they had come to iraq . and were building training camps to train terrorists in northern iraq saddam thumbed his nose at bush and didnt stop it .. saddam was allowing this to happen and he was giving the wounded alkieda who ran away from afganistan medical treatments and safe haven ... so bush was worried about one vial .. one small canister of a chemical or biological weapon getting into the terrorists hands .. we did get anthrax mailed to different places ..like post offices ... the dems made it into .. the whole thing was based on iraq having stock piles of wmds .. which was not the case . it was about making sure iraq is completely disarmed so that alkieda couldnt get its paws on wmds and they werent providing safe havens for alkieda to operate and make attacks on the us now its alan green span said .. .. wow none of them have anything but opinions and theorys .. no actual proof of anything .. .. everybody knows .. thats a good one tirght out of the liberal play book .. first of all they dont know what the word everybody means .. that should tell ya something . i guess they think alan green span is the one getting intelligence briefings every day .. the whole waorld should just go ask alan green span whats going on ..

pattyangel Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 "Saddam Hussein was not involved in 911." -George W. Bush This is a quote - Google it LOP - and stop watching FOX.

You can see this, right? Hame, this is one statement I have to agree with you on. There is division between both parties and he's cunning in his ways of creating this division. He as well does a lot of blaming and little leadership. Guess what, that is his goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPSprayduster Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Folks, Lop has been going on and on about this charde, he was never in the Middle east, and he is the resident expert i was there for the first big desert skimish and went back as a civlilian for the second campaign and occupation. NO WMDS were found you can continue to read all of the documentation from the so call liberal media, off grid media and his other sources. I was their and nothing was found except for some chemical used to treat water. So LOP keep on squawking and hollering from the pews if you need to convince yourself but sir your opinion is your opinion. Since Bump is now looking i probably got reported for irritating LOP. Oh well, i guess he has to understand their is more than one opinion out there. If he was there and found some then ok, if not and just going by what someone has told him. Well i got a bridge i want to sell him in the Arizona desert. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
