Which was the start of Gulf War I. We had agreements with Kuwait. Saddam knew that. Saddam went in and then so did we.
based on James Baker saying to him "the US has no policy on that."
Irrelevant to the fact that Saddam broke UN ceasefire resolutions
which caused the Iraq war we have now.
Saddam lost Gulf War I. I really don't see how this ADDs to your first argument.
This is the entire reason the UN cease fire resolutions were put in place.
Saddam lost. He agreed to the ceasefire. He broke the ceasefire knowing
full well that force would be used.
justify our starving the country or massacring 200,000 fleeing troops.
Irrelevant to the fact that Saddam broke UN ceasefire resolutions

Saddam complied with the UN Cease Fire resolutions
No. He did not.
The invasion of Iraq was illegal.
No it was not. It was approved by our government so it was not illegal as far as our government was concerned. It was fully in line with what should have happened when Saddam broke the UN resolutions so it wasn't 'illegal' according to the UN either.
But the US has veto power in the UN and 6,000 nukes -- so nobody is going to get in the way of our Imperialism.
Blame-america-first irrelevancy to the fact that Saddam broke UN ceasefire resolutions which caused the Iraq war we have now.
