    Nothing new there. Just another rehash of prior accusations. The Guardian of which Ricard Norton-Taylor is an editor, does seem to present opposing views for most topics and if we dig we can find rebuttal to this article.
    Blown it proves nothing and will be torn apart as usual.

    Well, Why is this part so foreign, so forgotten, so ignored by the left????
    The invasion of Iraq was entirely legal (just some don't want to admit it just as they refuse to admit LOOSING 2 elections) due to the failure to abide by 17 UN resolutions governing behavior required to maintain the 1991 Cease-Fire. The 1991 war never ended, and could be legally resumed at any time. Guess what, we are still actively at war with N Korea too. Same situation exists there, no peace treaty, just a 50-yr-old cease-fire.

    The list of resolutions .......
    http://www.casi.org.uk/info/scriraq.html
    660 (2 August 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Condemns the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and demands Iraq's immediate and unconditional withdrawal.
    661 (6 August 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Imposes comprehensive sanctions on Iraq and establishes a sanctions committee (the "661 committee") in paragraph 6 to monitor them. Paragraphs 3 and 4 drawn from those of SCR 253.
    662 (9 August 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Decides that Iraq's annexation of Kuwait is "null and void".
    664 (18 August 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Demands that Iraq release "third state nationals".
    665 (25 August 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Imposes a shipping blockade by calling for the use of "such measures ... as may be necessary" to enforce the maritime embargo. In effect, this resolution reassigns some of the practical responsibility for monitoring compliance with sanctions away from the UN machinery, in the form of the 661 committee, and to the States imposing the naval blockade.
    666 (13 September 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    "Decides [to] ... keep the situation regarding foodstuffs ... under constant review", giving the Security Council responsibility for determining when "humanitarian circumstances" had arisen.
    667 (16 September 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Protests "the closure of diplomatic and consular missions in Kuwait".
    669 (24 September 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Asks the Sanctions Committee to consider requests for economic assistance from countries harmed by the sanctions on Iraq.
    670 (25 September 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Strengthens and clarifies the embargo; confirms that it applies to aircraft. France and the USA disagree on whether 670 requires 661 approval for flights without cargo. Paragraph 12 of the resolution also invokes the possibility of unspecified "measures" against states that evade the sanctions regime. This paragraph seems to have been directed against Jordan and Sudan in particular. It caused disquiet within delegations, as the United Nations Charter has traditionally been interpreted as only permitting the Security Council to impose such measures against the state responsible for a breach of or threat to the peace.
    674 (29 October 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    "Reminds Iraq that ... it is liable for any loss ... as a result of the invasion ... of Kuwait".
    677 (28 November 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Concerned by Iraq's attempts to "alter the demographic composition of ... Kuwait and to destroy the civil records".
    678 (29 November 1990): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    "Authorizes Member States ... to use all necessary means" to bring Iraq into compliance with previous Security Council resolutions if it did not do so by 15 January 1991.
    686 (2 March 1991): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Affirms the "independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq" and sets out terms for a cease-fire. The use of force remains valid to fulfil these conditions.
    687 (3 April 1991): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Declares effective a formal cease-fire (upon Iraqi acceptance), establishes the UN Special Commission on weapons (Unscom), extends sanctions and, in paragraphs 21 and 22, provides ambiguous conditions for lifting or easing them. Described as a "Christmas tree", because "so much was hung on it". The fourth preambulary clause, on "the need to be assured of Iraq's peaceful intentions", has been referred to as the "Saddam Hussein clause" as it has been used to link the continuation of sanctions with the survival of the present Iraqi regime.
    688 (5 April 1991): Iraq (PDF).
    "Condemns the repression of the Iraqi civilian population" in the post-war civil war and "[d]emands that Iraq ... immediately end this repression". 688 is occasionally claimed to provide the legal basis for the American and British "no fly zones". These claims are incorrect both because 688 does not invoke Chapter VII of the UN Charter, a necessary condition for the use of force, and because it does not authorise specific measures to uphold human rights in Iraq, such as "no fly zones". The BBC has an outline of the "no fly zones" here. The UK Select Committee on Defence addresses the legal issue briefly here.
    692 (20 May 1991): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Establishes the UN Compensation Commission and asks the Secretary-General to indicate the maximum possible level of Iraq's contribution to the Compensation Fund.
    700 (17 June 1991): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Approves the Secretary-General's guidelines on an arms and dual-use embargo on Iraq and calls upon states to act consistently with them. Paragraph 5 of this resolution makes the 661 committee responsible for the on-going monitoring regime, thus ensuring that it would retain a role in the long-term relationship between the UN and Iraq.
    705 (15 August 1991): Iraq (PDF).
    "Decides that ... compensation to be paid by Iraq ... shall not exceed 30 per cent of the annual value of the exports".
    706 (15 August 1991): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Decides to allow emergency oil sale by Iraq to fund compensation claims, weapons inspection and humanitarian needs in Iraq.
    707 (15 August 1991): Iraq (PDF).
    Condemns Iraq's non-compliance on weapons inspections as a "material breach" of Resolution 687, and incorporates into its standard for compliance with SCR687 that Iraq provide "full, final and complete disclosure ... of all aspects of its programmes to develop" prohibited weaponry. Also grants permission for Unscom and the IAEA to conduct flights throughout Iraq, for surveillance or logistical purposes.
    712 (19 September 1991): Iraq (PDF).
    Rejects the Secretary-General's suggestion that at least $2 billion in oil revenue be made available for humanitarian needs; instead allows total sale of $1.6 billion. Eventually rejected by Government of Iraq.
    715 (11 October 1991): Iraq (PDF).
    Approves the plans of Unscom and the IAEA, including for long term monitoring. Iraq agreed to the monitoring system established by this resolution on 26 November 1993.
    778 (2 October 1992): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Deplores Iraq's refusal to implements SCRs 706 and 712 and recalls Iraq's liabilities. Takes steps to transfer funds (including Iraqi assets overseas) into the UN account established to pay for compensation and humanitarian expenses.
    806 (5 February 1993): Iraq-Kuwait (PDF).
    Arms UNIKOM to prevent border incursions by Iraq.
    949 (15 October 1994): Iraq-Kuwait.
    "Condemns recent military deployments by Iraq in the direction of ... Kuwait", demands an immediate withdrawal and full co-operation with Unscom. According to a spokesman for the US Central Command, the resolution was passed following a threatening buildup of Iraqi forces near the border with Kuwait, and bars Iraq from moving SAMs into the southern no-fly zone.
    986 (14 April 1995): Iraq
    New "oil for food" resolution, allowing $1 billion in oil sales every 90 days. Memorandum of understanding signed by UN and Government of Iraq on 20 May 1996; Phase I begins on 10 December 1996. The details of implementation, requested in paragraph 12, are here.
    1051 (27 March 1996): Iraq.
    Establishes mechanism for long-term monitoring of potentially "dual use" Iraqi imports and exports, as called for by SCR 715.
    1060 (12 June 1996): Iraq.
    On Iraq's refusal to allow access to sites designated by the Special Commission.
    1115 (21 June 1997): Iraq-Kuwait.
    "Condemns the repeated refusal of the Iraqi authorities to allow access to sites" and "[d]emands that [they] cooperate fully" with Unscom. Suspends the sanctions and arms embargo reviews (paragraphs 21 and 28 of SCR 687) until the next Unscom report and threatens to "impose additional measures on those categories of Iraqi officials responsible for the non-compliance".
    1129 (12 September 1997): Iraq-Kuwait.
    Alters timing of permitted Phase II oil sales in response to Iraqi government's refusal to sell oil until its Distribution Plan was approved by the UN.
    1134 (23 October 1997): Iraq-Kuwait
    Reaffirms Iraq's obligations to cooperate with weapons inspectors after Iraqi officials announce in September 1997 that "presidential sites" are off-limits to inspectors. Threatens travel ban on obstructive Iraqi officials not "carrying out bona fide diplomatic assignments or missions" if non-cooperation continues. Sanctions reviews again delayed.
    1137 (12 November 1997): Iraq-Kuwait
    Rejects Iraqi government's announced intention to prohibit weapons inspections unless the composition of Unscom teams is altered to limit the number of inspectors from the US, and to prohibit Unscom overflights. Imposes travel ban on officials to be lifted when full cooperation resumes. Sanctions review to be in April 1998 if cooperation has been restored.
    1143 (4 December 1997): Iraq-Kuwait.
    Begins Phase III of "oil for food", to start on 5 December 1997 and welcomes the Secretary-General's intention to submit a supplementary report on possible improvements in the "oil for food" programme.
    1154 (2 March 1998): Iraq-Kuwait.
    Commends the Secretary-General for securing commitments from the Iraqi government to fully comply with weapons inspections on his mission to Baghdad, and endorses the memorandum of understanding (S/1998/166) that was signed on 23 February. The mapping of the areas of the eight "presidential sites" by a UN Technical Mission is described in an annexed report to a letter from the Secretary-General of 27 February (S/1998/166/Add.1). The procedures for the inspection of "presidential sites" are laid out in an annex to the letter from the Secretary-General of 8 March 1998 (S/1998/208). This agreement put off US and British bombing threats.
    1194 (9 September 1998): Iraq-Kuwait.
    "Condemns the decision by Iraq ... to suspend cooperation with [Unscom] and the IAEA", demands that the decisions be reversed and cancels October 1998 scheduled sanctions review.
    1205 (5 November 1998): Iraq-Kuwait.
    Echoes SCR 1194, demands that the Iraqi government "provide immediate, complete and unconditional cooperation" with inspectors and alludes to the threat to "international peace and security" posed by the non-cooperation.
    Resolution proposed by Spain, the US and the UK, which would have authorized military action against Iraq (7 March 2003)
    Comments of Kofi Annan on 10 March, 11 March and 17 March
    Joint statement by France, Russia and Germany in opposition to a UN resolution authorizing force
    Statements by France and Germany (19 March)
    1483 (22 May 2003)
    Lifts non-military sanctions (para 10)
