Clearly, the Pentagon did not think this all the way through. When Congress passed the authorization for the use of force in Iraq, it included two requirements. In oder to activate the authorization, President Bush had to prove that Iraq was in defiance of the United Nations by being in possession of banned weapons of mass destruction. President Bush was also required to show a link between Iraq and 9-11. In his letter of transmittal of March 18. 2003, President Bush claims to have met both requirements. We now know that in both cases President Bush was lying. Iraq did not have banned weapons of mass destruction. Snd, even Bush has admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11.
Therefore, since Bush did NOT in fact have proof of the required conditions to activate the Congressional Authorization for the use of force, the authorization is not legally in effect.
Therefore, the war is illegal.
