I did not post above, but how come war criminals like George Bush jr, Dickey Cheney, Toni Blair are free...
They are guilty of war crimes at least in some jurisdictions...

Bush's condemnation of the invasion
editHi, I feel like Bush's condemnation of Iraq is very relevant to the 2003 invasion of Iraq article.
It's not a freudian slip. he says 'Iraq too' afterwards. this needs to be in there somewhere. It's highly relevant

- Problem is, do any RS think this? Slatersteven (talk) 13:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- wp:rs, read it please, ohh and wp:or. Slatersteven (talk) 13:25, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Youtube video of the Telegraph is not reliable? CalfRaiser150 (talk) 13:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Clearly Bush said this and clearly it is relevant, so please help me add it instead of just breaking down. I'm new to wikipedia. CalfRaiser150 (talk) 13:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- It is you saying it was not a slip up, and that he thinks this, the source does not say that. Slatersteven (talk) 13:30, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Have you watched the clip? he says 'Iraq too'. That is the admission. CalfRaiser150 (talk) 13:32, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

But I have raised my objections time for others to chip in. Slatersteven (talk) 13:31, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
If there is something to be made of this, then it will be made in sources. Cinderella157 (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Some illegal wars are less illegal than others
editThere is a whole separate Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_the_Iraq_War) trying to relativise the illegality of the 2003 invasion (the article is even titled "Legality of the Iraq War" as opposed to "Illegality of the Iraq War"). An interesting contrast with more recent developments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_War#Legality_and_declaration_of_war
Just saying that perhaps there is a little bit too much bias here (or there)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.97.79.80 (talk) 20:22, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
According to AngloNews, how exactly did “2003” invade Iraq?
editPlease, NSA, I'm not implying that it was the USA that invaded Iraq. Don't persecute and censor me. I just want to know how exactly this “2003” invaded Iraq. Is that a country, a year, a continent or an ethnicity (like the "western ethinicity")? Edefoam (talk) 15:46, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- No it is saying in 2003 Iraq was invaded. And no the USA did not invade Iraq, and an international coalition did. Slatersteven (talk) 15:48, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
When did the illegal invasion begin?
editThis might be a stupid question. Both the top section and infobox of this article indicate that the illegal invasion began on March 20th 2003, while the rest of the article frequently refers to the initial invasion phase starting on March 19th 2003. Why are there two different starting dates mentioned here? I feel like this could be confusing to readers. Karkafs Desiderium (talk) 01:32, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- This is probably a matter of which time zone is being applied. It should be Iraq time. The date is referred to at several places, so I'm not quite certain how to resolve this. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:58, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
