General admits Bush illegally attacked Iraq.

The Downing Street Memos have shown that Bush had already set the course for war long before he ever presented any evidence, and before Congress authorized any action. Well, if that wasn't enough of a smoking gun to the illegality of the war, here's something that is.

"...in 2002 and early 2003 allied aircraft flew 21,736 sorties, dropping more than 600 bombs on 391 “carefully selected targets” before the war officially started."

Bombing in the summer of 2002? That's before the inspectors even had a chance to start poking around. That's before Bush presented his first official lie about WMDs. That's way before Congress gave him even vague authority to use military force.

How can this possibly NOT be illegal? Bush was attacking without any authorization whatsoever. The purpose is no secret. Bush intended to provoke Saddam into defending himself, which would then be spun as an aggressive act and cause for war.

Let's impeach this criminal tyrant and preserve our democracy.
