TED RALL, ALL AMERICAN TRAITOR
I despise him, but let us look at his claim that Bush started an illegal war. By International standards a nation may use force against another when said nation initiates an attack against it or at allies requesting assistance, an attack was imminent and force was needed to prevent it, or the UN Security Council authorized the use of force in clear terms.
Recall that Mr. Bush did not seek a vote from the UN Security Council for the use of force and also Iraq did not directly attack the US or an ally (unless you consider 911 an action from Iraq, something Bush does not now claim). Then we are left with the imminent threat theory and hence the current split within the US over the legality of this war.
Take the side that Iraq was ready to attack and you support it. In any event, the justifications for the invasion have yet to materialize so at best the war is without merit.

Ghosty -
There was a large relief convoy that arrived on Thursday afternoon. It was shown on TV. It went in after a wave of law enforcement SWAT teams that was then followed by a contingent of National Guard troops. Steve Harrigan reported that fact ad infinitum on Fox News.
On Friday morning, there was an even larger relief convoy that arrived in the city. That's the one that you have pointed out. So, you're both correct.
