Lastly, at 16:46 you ask who is going to proft from the Iraqi oil fields, pointing to the erroneous fact that US corporations own them & the People of Iraq get jack squat.

Well, that's simply a lie on your part.

Your video is dated 2007. In 2006 Iraq was returned to a sovereign nation by proclamations made by George W. Bush. Also in 2006, the 2004 proclaimations by Bush brought about the civil ownership of Iraqi oil. The People of Iraq SHARE in the ownership of their No.1 natural resource.

Third, the UN no longer has validity or authority. During the embargo, certain members of the Assembly (ex. France) & certain members of the UN administration (ex. Kofi Annan & his son) enriched themselves in secret from the embargo.

Also, they allowed Saddam Hussein to divert and steal food & medical supplies from the People of Iraq for himself & his cronies. This lead to the undue suffering of the Iraqi People, at the hands of these subverters.

That is not a war crime?

And second, the invasion of Iraq is backed by:

1. UN resolutions in our favor for the consquences of not allowing weapons inspectors into the sights they requested.

2. The 1991 Cease Fire Agreement, which halted warfare under certain contingencies. One of these was that Iraq not take up arms against the USA/Coalition. Breaking this agreement states the USA can invade Iraq, remove Hussein, & set up a new govt.

3. Permission from Congress for invasion.

Thus, it was "legal."
