Prior to the illegal invasion of Iraq. the Bush regime claimed to have
specific evidence of WMDs and nuclear programme. So much so that
it was an immediate threath, with Hussein capable of launching such
weapons within 45 minutes.


How was this invasion illegal? What law was violated?



Prior to the illegal invasion of Iraq, the USA was systematically
discrediting Hans Blix and the UN inspectors stating that they were
incompetent and couldn't find anything. Yet Blix has stated that every
piece of evidence that was handed to him by the USA turned out to be
a total waste of time because there were no signs of any illicit activity.

So it would seem that the USA didn't have any real evidence and just
fabricated stuff to make it appear to be a real threath.


What is your evidence that the USA fabricated evidence?



This was well known outside the USA. Media outside the USA were
quick to provide complelling reasons why the Februiary 5th 2003
evidence prsented by Powel at the UN was not credible. Yet in the
USA, the media took Powel's speech as a bible and never questioned
the validity of the presented evidence.

When a few weeks later, ElBaradei, in front of the security council,
announced that they had obtained proof that the so called evidence
on nuclear weapons had been ***fabricated*** , neither the USA
media nor the democrats pounced on the Bush regime. That alone
should have started impeachement process with a Ken Star to
investigate the activities of the Bush regime.


Well, knowing the Democrats and the USA media as I do, if this announcement
had any credibility at all they WOULD have pounced on the Bush
administration.



And now that it is evident that there are no WMDs left in Iraq


How is that evident?



and that 9 months of inspectiosn by thousands of americans have yielded
nothing,


They have yielded little, but not nothing.



don't
you think that the regime which made all those claims to justify its
unprovoked invasion of Iraq should be held accountable for its lies ?


While it is becoming clear that they were probably wrong, it is also clear
they were not lies.
