From an article in the Guardian:
"
Iraq war was illegal and breached UN charter, says Annan

The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, declared explicitly for the first time last night that the US-led war on Iraq was illegal.
Mr Annan said that the invasion was not sanctioned by the UN security council or in accordance with the UN's founding charter. In an interview with the BBC World Service broadcast last night, he was asked outright if the war was illegal. He replied: "Yes, if you wish."
He then added unequivocally: "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN charter. From our point of view and from the charter point of view it was illegal."
Mr Annan has until now kept a tactful silence and his intervention at this point undermines the argument pushed by Tony Blair that the war was legitimised by security council resolutions."
Of course. The UN got their wittle feelwings hurt. Lame ass useless baggage that they are.
You know what else was REALLY ILLEGAL??? The GRAFT, CORRUPTION, and CHRONYISM that we caught them doing with their OIL FOR FOOD Iraqi relief program !!!!
100s of thousands of Iraqis dying under constant embargo and THEY were stuffing their 3rd world pockets.
