UN Resolution 1441 gave Iraq one “final opportunity” to disarm. But, as @mehdirhasan points out, it did NOT authorize Bush and Blair to launch an invasion of Iraq. So wouldn’t that make the invasion illegal? Mehdi asks @RadioFreeTom.

Now that Trump is under indictment, send Bush to The Hague for his war crimes and WMD lie. Let’s not stop at Trump.

Are the people of Iraq better or worse off right now then before we got involved? I know 2 Iraqis and they both say unequivocally better.
The Second Iraq war is a mistake. A costly one for the Iraqi people. But I have very few regrets because the murderous regime in Baghdad killed of its own people ruthlessly. Just like Assad…

( FYI, you might want to check all the cables used for broadcasting for your show specifically because there is a constant high pitched screech buzz tone heard especially during pauses/silence. Even one rogue cheap HDMI cable can cause havoc with sound. )
Disarm? They had no WMD so how could they get rid of them?
How tough is it to admit that « war crimes » don’t apply to big powers? You don’t win a war and go to jail: « rules based order » just means the victor sets the rules, same as always.
