This act was promoted and signed into law by then President Clinton. This Act called for support of the INC (Iraqi National Congress) and the removal of Saddam from power. The Iraqi Liberation Act was enacted and was black letter law long before President Bush was elected as President. President Bush inherited this law, and the removal of Saddam had already been mandated by the US Congress long before President Bush took office. In October 2001, the US Congress voted unanimously (save one traitor from California) to resolve that "a state of war exists between the USA and all international terrorists and all those that aid or harbor terrorists." This Congressional resolution provided President Bush with the individual power to determine which entities and nations were either terrorists or aiding or harboring terrorists, and further, granted President Bush *exclusive* discretion to use the full weight of the US Military to hunt down or otherwise eliminate any such designated enemies. Saddam had developed his own terrorist faction called the Fedayeen, and these terrorist goons surfaced during the invasion of Iraq. These terrorists were not only responsible for murderous attacks on coalition forces, they also were murdering Iraqis that refused to fight and were further holding hostage the families of Iraqi soldiers. In true radical Muslim style, these Fedayeen terrorists also traveled around the Iraqi countryside decapitating Iraqi women that had committed the unspeakable crime of simply waiving at the coalition forces. Saddam openly admitted and bragged about sending money and arms to the Palestinian terrorist organizations known as Hamas, PLO, and Islamic Jihad. All three of those terrorist organizations have murdered Americans in the past, and are well-known terrorist organizations. On December 27, 2000, Saddam openly and publically declared war on the United States, Britain and Israel. Saddam's declaration of war occurred only ten months prior to the 911 massacres, and his declaration of war was carried on the front pages of all the Baghdad newspapers, and on the front page of most Arabic European newspapers. Under the articles of the Geneva Convention, any nation in receipt of an official declaration of war has a right to preemptively attack the nation that issued the war declaration. The USA and Britain not only had the legal right to invade Iraq and depose Saddam due to the violation of not less than seventeen UN Resolutions since the Gulf War, they also had the moral authority and the ethical necessity to do so.
