The Members of the Independent Commission of Inquiry to Investigate U.S./NATO War Crimes Against the People of Yugoslavia, meeting in New York, having considered the Initial Charges and Complaint of the Commission dated July 31, 1999 against President William J. Clinton, Gen. Wesley Clark, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Massimo D’Alema, Prime Minister Jose Maria Azmar, the Governments of the United States and the other NATO member states, former Secretary General Javier Solana and other NATO leaders, and Others with nineteen separate Crimes Against Peace, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity in violation of the Charter of the United Nations, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, other international agreements and customary international law;

18. Seeking to Establish U.S. Domination and Control of Yugoslavia and to Exploit Its People and Resources.
19. Using the Means of Military Force and Economic Coercion in Order to Achieve U.S. Domination.
The Members hold NATO, the NATO states and their leaders accountable for their criminal acts and condemn those found guilty in the strongest possible terms. The Members condemn the NATO bombardments, denounce the international crimes and violations of international humanitarian law committed by the armed attack and through other means such as economic sanctions. NATO has acted lawlessly and has attempted to abolish international law.
Thank you. I'd forgotten that Ramsey Clark's IAC had done this. They aren't an officially recognized court with any authority, but the people who were involved are all respected individuals who brought first-hand experiences in making the case against Clinton and NATO.
Then you are a stupid veteran on two fronts...
1. Where are the weapons of mass destruction????
Exactly when did we have that press conference, I must have missed it.
2. We have not been at war for 25 years...Jesus..
I've never believed that Bush deliberately lied. I do believe that he disagreed with his father when his father went to war with Iraq over Kuwait, and Bush Sr chose to follow the UN mandate for the war, just to drive the Iraqis from Kuwait, when Bush could have proceeded and toppled Hussein then. And I think that W's team, Cheney and Rumsfeld, especially, having been active in Bush Sr's administration, were pre-disposed to see a threat from Hussein and Iraq. The fact that the President, Vice President and Secretary of the Defense were all looking for that threat, I believe, colored the information they were provided. They believed that Hussein was amassing weapons of mass destruction, and that action needed to be taken to prevent those weapons being used. I think that the force of their conviction was very persuasive, to the American people, to Congress, and even to our allies. While some may have thought that conviction was based on information that was only available to the President and his Cabinet members, the strength of Bush's conviction was information, too, for all the rest of us.
When the WMD's weren't found, Bush still believed that he acted properly, because he sincerly believed that Hussein needed to go. And Hussein was a brutal dictator. He did need to go. But I believe it would have been better if it was a unified international community that had taken the steps to oust him.
Respect means not using up soldiers lives like they are expendable and sending them into a guerrilla war of your own making, unprepared for close quarters urban guerrilla warfare, where your enemy shoots at unarmored Humvees you are driving around in, or plants IED's that you drive over and you are blown up, burned, concessed, or killed.
Respect means not killing those under your command like Pres. Obama has demonstrated, and Pres. Clinton and Pres. Bush before him.
W is an idiot who is trying to repair his legacy through spin and phoniness, and it will only work on those who are not smart enough to see through it.
There is an old saying "Actions speak louder than words", and his actions as Commander in Chief speak volumes.

Ever heard of the whole if ignorance is bliss thing?
links have been provided many times..you refuse to admit them
I hadn't seen you post a link to that video, before. Thanks for providing it.
The video isn't a reliable source, in its current form ... IMO. If someone has more of the interview from a reliable source ... say, from CBS/60 Minutes itself ... then we can listen to it and consider the Secretary's comments ... in their entirety. What you presented was an edited version which may have also been altered. There's no way to tell if it's truthfully presented. The other links you provided are repetitive of the faulty video clip.

It's like clockwork.......
Liberal/Obama Supporter Auto Response Protocolâ„¢
1. The source isn't valid
2. That's racist
3. But...but...but George W. Bush
4. Haters gonna hate
5. Repeat 1,2,3, and/or 4 as needed then insult the opposition for failing to support this great man, declare victory, and move on
I can't speak for the "Liberal/Obama Supporter" contingent, but I'm thinking any person seeking information upon which to base an assumption/opinion would want to carefully cosider the source someone making an allgation cites. Particularly when it seems dislike or hate for an individual is being expressed ... over and over again.
I will make sure to provide you a link when I get home, but until then you can simply Google it or look it up on Wikipedia to figure out the exact dates the US was involved and how long the UN was involved because there is a difference between the two that I think you are confusing.
So what happened to that link? Don't want to post something that shows that your hero violated the law, eh?

really now...your answer is personal insults
1. I am a retired First Sergeant...served from 1981-2006 with combat tours in panama, desert storm, bosnia, afganastan, and Iraq
2. everyone (even well before bush even came into office) stated that Iraq had wmd...to include both Clintons, Kerry, gore, ted kennedy, and nancy Pelosi WHO WAS ON THE INTELEGENCE committee ...were they all lying???
3. even hussain himself stated that he had these and would NOT COMPLY with the UN RESOLUTIONS
4. WMDs were found (only small amounts, but still WMD)
5. the weapons inspectors even stated that hussain was not being honest and that many of the wmd's were not tracked
you believe what you want..I know what I have seen
So what happened to that link? Don't want to post something that shows that your hero violated the law, eh?

Ah yes, sorry about that, I got home about midnight last night and posting a link for you was last on my list of what I wanted to do when I got home.
1 March 2011: The US Senate unanimously passes non-binding Senate resolution S.RES.85 urging the United Nations Security Council to impose a Libyan no-fly zone and encouraging Gaddafi to step down. The US had naval forces positioned off the coast of Libya, as well as forces already in the region, including the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.
The U.S. initially had strategic command of the military intervention, coordinated missions between coalition members and set up Joint Task Force Odyssey Dawn on the USS Mount Whitney for the tactical command and control in the area of operations.[12][13] but passed complete military command of the operation to NATO and took up a support role on 31 March 2011
31 March: At 0600 GMT, NATO took command of all operations in Libya. Subsequent operations were conducted as part of Operation Unified Protector.
4 April: A US Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier and a US Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II flew missions near Sirte and Brega, respectively.[58] 4 April also marked the last day of US armed forces taking an active role in military action, as all American forces were placed in reserve that evening, to be used only if requested by NATO.
21 April: US Predator drones entered the theater.[79] According to General James Cartwright, two patrols of drones would be above Libya at all times, with the first deployment originally scheduled for 21 April, though inclement weather forced a delay.
