Saddam Hussein violated UN sanctions repeatedly over the span of YEARS.
.
I agree with that 1000% and that is precisely why I agreed 10000% after 09-11-01 with Bush 43's determination to confront the Baathist Regime in Iraq for being in violation of all those Resolutions you mention. I also 10,000% agreed with Bush's decision to go to the UN seeking a new UN resolution that would give Saddam Hussein a Final Opportunity to Comply.
That is where UNSC 1441 comes into play and where your deviation from facts reality and history come into being. That is where I allow historical
reality to influence my judgement and Bush duped minions are stuck in the ignorance of the facts. You cannot relate to events that transpired after 1441 because you cannot accept apparently that 1441 was unanimously passed by the UNSC and one of those votes was the USA.

To say that he was an innocent victim because Bush finally said enough is enough is laughable.
Your suggestion is not true. My point is that Saddam was not innocent. My point is that the FACTS are that Saddam Hussein did not commit a material breach of 1441 and Bush's decision to invade Iraq was contrary to the facts and the decisions and non-decisions of the UNSC majority in opposition to Bush and Blair.
It was Bush's terrible decision to violate 1441 that got innocent Iraqis killed wounded and displaced, innocent American Brit and Iraqi Children lost their parents, in a needless war. 4584 American soldiers were killed and ten times that were wounded. The US economy was harmed due in large part for Bush's decision in March to violate 1441 and borrow trillions to pay for bloody war and occupation.
UN inspectors in March were at most a few months from finding Iraq disarmed an no longer in violation. Bush intervened and ended the peaceful process and the rest is history. The history between November 2002 and March 10, 2003 had been largely Orwellian Style suppressed. Perhaps that is why you know nothing about it. Perhaps you know but refuse to deal with reality as must Iraq Invasion supporters do.
But don't distort my position on Iraq so you can argue out of ignorance against it.
