Well since you seem to be so confident of your intimate knowledge of the 12,000 page report, of which onkly 8,000 pages were even given to anyone other than the 5 permanent members of the security council you can tell me the page numbers that state that, I will glady take a look.
Unfortunately if you had read 1441 you would know it basically stated that this was the final chance, and ANY noncompliance would consitute a material breach. Not one member of the UN would dare suggest he had met this COMPLETE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT OF 1441.
I HAVE read the entire resolution, i doubt that you have, and what would actually happen if Irak failed to comply with the resolution, a quote would be nice...
And please tell me, as i took part of the war in Bosnia, as Brittish, Norwegian and Swedish troops were in place when the US Bombed, in what way did the US take part of the Balkan war before that?
I was there, i saw what happend, yet you think you know more than i do... i would like to ask you how you know more about that war than i do...
You obviosuly did not read the first paragraph of that first link, who created the document that secured peace for the region? the US, in Dayton, the Dayton Accords...
"Bosnia: U.S. Military Operations
In Paris on December 14, 1995, the
presidents of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia
signed the peace settlement they negotiated in
Dayton, OH. The following day the United
Nations Security Council?s Resolution 1031
authorized for one year the multilateral
NATO-led implementation force (IFOR)
under the U.N. Charter?s Chapter VII. On
December 12, 1996, the Security Council
authorized a follow-on force, dubbed the
Stabilization Force (SFOR). This authorization
been renewed annually. In March 1998,
the NATO allies agreed that SFOR will remain
in Bosnia until significant progress,
according to specified benchmarks, has been
made in the implementation of the Dayton
Accords.
Bosnia and Kosovo.."
So according to YOU before the UN authorized force based on the US led Dayton (yeah that is in the states) there were Brittish, Norwegian and Swedish troops on the ground?
They took military action without UN approval? You sure you know what you are talking about, lol....
"U.S. and Allied Participation in Bosnia Peacekeeping (IFOR/SFOR)
IFOR/SFOR Mission. While steadfastly refusing to contribute ground forces to UN
Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in Bosnia, the Clinton Administration, beginning in
February 1993, maintained a commitment to provide them to oversee implementation of an
overall peace settlement. With the 1994 peace negotiations at Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base in Dayton OH, Administration officials began to lay out their rationale and initial
planning for U.S. participation in a NATO-led peace implementation force (IFOR) for
Bosnia. Administration officials argued that U.S. participation with ground forces was
necessary for two main reasons: 1) the Bosnian, Croatian, and Serb negotiators all made
U.S. ground force participation a condition of their accepting any peace settlement; and 2)
U.S. participation was necessary for the United States to maintain a leadership position in
NATO. President Clinton subsequently emphasized a moral responsibility to aid in ending
the savagery of the Bosnian conflict.
On December 14, 1995, the Presidents of Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia signed a peace
agreement in Paris. In brief, the military elements of the agreement, in addition to
establishing IFOR and granting it full authority and freedom of movement to enforce the
agreement, calls for: 1) withdrawal of forces behind cease-fire lines within 30 days, with a
demilitarized zone (DMZ) of four kilometers; 2) withdrawal of heavy weapons and personnel
to barracks; 3) provision of information on personnel, weaponry, and landmines; 4) arms
reduction negotiations under the auspices of the Organization for Cooperation and Security
in Europe (OSCE). All these objectives have been completed, with the exception of the arms
reduction process which the OSCE continues to oversee.
To enforce the military provisions of the Dayton agreements, NATO sent the
Intervention Force or (IFOR), which comprised approximately 54,000 ground troops in
Bosnia proper. That force designation and lasted until December 20, 1996, when it was
changed to Stabilization Force (SFOR). This reflected the decision by NATO?s members
that the Bosnia deployment should not have a specified end-date, but rather that its duration
would be tied to successful accomplishment of Dayton Peace Accord provisions."
there is a breakdown of forces as well, but obviously you are not going to bother to read or acknowledge how wrong you are....
