Reply #120: Couldn't have said it better myself.

But, I'd hardly consider the statement on the legality of the war as bolstering Bush's position, as the original poster suggests, if you read his statements in their entirety, especially the comparison to the war in Kosovo.

"GEN. CLARK: Legal? Well, it’s technically legal, yeah.
MR. RUSSERT: Why?
GEN. CLARK: Well, you have the United Nations Security Council authorization against weapons of mass destruction. Now, the problem is that all of the underpinnings for that, they’re not there. We haven’t found those weapons of mass destruction. I wouldn’t have gone to war at that point.

...

In other words, if you said that the war in Kosovo was technically illegal, you might also say, “but it was legitimate. It was justified,” because it was an urgent, imminent danger. The case in Iraq was the opposite. It was technically legal, but it wasn’t an imminent danger, it wasn’t an imminent threat, we hadn’t exhausted diplomatic possibilities."
