We do not need a blessing from the UN to do anything if we feel it is in the best interests of the US.

Leave other threads in other threads, and dump the ad hominem attacks. Are you completely incapable of discussing things in a mature fashion?

Invading a UN member nation without sanction from the UN Security Council is illegal under Article 39 of the UN Charter, which under Article 6 of the US Constitution forms part of the body of US Law.

It is nothing about blessings. The invasion was illegal.
You can't run away from the lies you tell.

Here are three:
- There are "thousands" of peer-reviewed scientific papers which argue against AGW,
- 1938 was globally the hottest year on record,
- the word "islamofascist" was coined in the 1930s

When are you going to admit that you were completely and utterly wrong and retract those statements

Are you completely incapable of admitting your mistakes in a mature fashion?

Ahh... the oft' trotted out "Repeat the failed, but using the construct of the winning argument... tactic.

ROFLMNAO...

Dayum-NATION you people are weak.

ROFLMNAO...

But that does match the old tried and true "CHANGE THE FREAKIN' SUBJECT tactic, which you employed next with the our in-house Master at Arms; The Honorable CDP:


ROFLMNAO...

Dayum-NATION you people are weak.

You need to read that article again. It says nothing of the sort.

This is talking about when the UN is involved in the conflict.

Article 41.

Says nothing about if the member must uphold said ruling.

Article 42.

Still nothing that you mentioned.

Does that mean you lied?

I am not running from anything. You continuously twist my words. For example I provided evidence to back up the 1938 claim. You have yet to provide any evidence that says those sources were wrong. You only attacked without backing.

I said that we do not know where islamofascist came from, but it is believed to have been coined in the 30s.

And it is not my fault that you twisted what I was saying in the GW thread.

Come off it and come up with something substantive to back your own claims.

Can you now debate the subject at hand in a mature way? Or are you going to continue to slander everyone that does not agree with you?

This is false. The UN Charter in no way causes a member nation to abrogate its right to go to war. No government would seriously entertain the notion of becoming a member if it lost the right to defend itself.

This merely says that the security council will make recommendations concerning international conflicts.

"Calling on members to comply with measures', again, doesn't in any way mean that a given act of war is or is not legal.

This merely says the Security Council can impose sanctions.

Did the US have an authorization before bombing Afghanistan? nope.

Article 51

Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women

Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a **** how crazy they are!

Because it offers a glimmer of hope that he is right and we are all wrong.
