>The U.S. did invade Iraq, using the authority granted in U.N. resolution 678. That was not a crime either, because it was carried out legally.

The UN explicitly stated that the invasion was illegal. I even remember the chief inspector declaring that he should have gone back to fishing instead of wasting time because the US had already decided to invade Iraq on false pretenses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_the_Iraq_War "The invasion of Iraq was neither in self-defense against armed attack nor sanctioned by UN Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force by member states and thus constituted the crime of war of aggression, according to the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) in Geneva"

Remember "freedom fries"?

The war hysteria was as rabid then as it is now for "pro ukraine" bullshit of arming both sides and letting blood spill.

Amazing mental gymnastics white washing the millions of people murdered by US in desperate search for their oil.
