Did Saddam Hussein Comply With the Provision of UN Resolution 687 Regarding Terrorism? No

On April 8, 1991, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 687, the first post-Gulf War disarmament resolution, which declared, among other things, that Iraq

not commit or support any act of international terrorism or allow any organization directed towards commission of such acts to operate within its territory and to condemn unequivocally and renounce all acts, methods and practices of terrorism.
Eleven years later, on November 8, 2002, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1441, which declared that the

Government of Iraq has failed to comply with its commitments pursuant to resolution 687 (1991) with regard to terrorism….
What about the Democrats? What did they have to say about Saddam's terror connections? Well, Senator John Cornyn of Texas has pulled together some quotes to refresh everyone's memory.

Clinton Administration (Patterns of Global Terrorism: 1999, U.S. Department of State)
Iraq continued to plan and sponsor international terrorism…it continued to provide safehaven and support to various terrorist groups

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (Senate floor speech, October 10, 2002)
Saddam's government has contact with many international terrorist organizations that likely have cells here in the United States.

Sen. Hillary Clinton (Senate floor speech, October 10, 2002)
[Saddam Hussein] has also given aid, comfort and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members..."

Sen. Harry Reid (Senate Office website, October 2, 2002; last checked Nov. 14, 2005)
Under Saddam's rule, Iraq has engaged in far-reaching human rights abuses, been a state sponsor of terrorism, and has long sought to obtain and develop weapons of mass destruction.

Sen. Carl Levin (Late Edition, CNN, December 16, 2001)
The war against terrorism will not be finished as long as [Saddam Hussein] is in power.

So what?

That is for the U.N. to deal with. It was not a "U.S. Resolution".

The UN's worth about as much as tits on a boar. The only thing those dictators do at the UN is get involved in scandals that send billions of dollars into their Swiss bank accounts, leaving the citizens of their respective countries in poverty.

Since when are we supposed to invade countries that do not comply with UN resolutions?

Are you a One-World Governmentalist BRIAN?;)

And when do we invade Israel?:)

Well, since most of the Resolutions go hand in hand with our cease fire agreement with Iraq i'd say it was our call to make to end the agreement and boot his ass or ignore it like Clinton did.

But that really wasn't the point this thread was getting at anyway.

Oh, and just for posterity, here's the resolution to read on your own.

RESOLUTION 687 (1991)
Adopted by the Security Council at its 2981st meeting,
on 3 April 1991

The Security Council,

Recalling its resolutions 660 (1990) of 2 August 1990, 661 (1990) of 6 August 1990, 662 (1990) of 9 August 1990, 664 (1990) of 18 August 1990, 665 (1990) of 25 August 1990, 666 (1990) of 13 September 1990, 667 (1990) of 16 September 1990, 669 (1990) of 24 September 1990, 670 (1990) of 25 September 1990, 674 (1990) of 29 October 1990, 677 (1990) of 28 November 1990, 678 (1990) of 29 November 1990 and 686 (1991) of 2 March 1991,

Welcoming the restoration to Kuwait of its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity and the return of its legitimate Government,

Affirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Kuwait and Iraq, and noting the intention expressed by the Member States cooperating with Kuwait under paragraph 2 of resolution 678 (1990) to bring their military presence in Iraq to an end as soon as possible consistent with paragraph 8 of resolution 686 (1991),

Reaffirming the need to be assured of Iraq's peaceful intentions in the light of its unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait,

Taking note of the letter sent by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iraq on 27 February 1991 and those sent pursuant to resolution 686 (1991),

Noting that Iraq and Kuwait, as independent sovereign States, signed at Baghdad on 4 October 1963 "Agreed Minutes Between the State of Kuwait and the Republic of Iraq Regarding the Restoration of Friendly Relations, Recognition and Related Matters", thereby recognizing formally the boundary between Iraq and Kuwait and the allocation of islands, which were registered with the United Nations in accordance with Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations and in which Iraq recognized the independence and complete sovereignty of the State of Kuwait within its borders as specified and accepted in the letter of the Prime Minister of Iraq dated 21 July 1932, and as accepted by the Ruler of Kuwait in his letter dated 10 August 1932,

Conscious of the need for demarcation of the said boundary,

Conscious also of the statements by Iraq threatening to use weapons in violation of its obligations under the Geneva Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare, signed at Geneva on 17 June 1925, and of its prior use of chemical weapons and affirming that grave consequences would follow any further use by Iraq of such weapons,

Recalling that Iraq has subscribed to the Declaration adopted by all States participating in the Conference of States Parties to the 1925 Geneva Protocol and Other Interested States, held in Paris from 7 to 11 January 1989, establishing the objective of universal elimination of chemical and biological weapons,

Recalling also that Iraq has signed the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction, of 10 April 1972,

Noting the importance of Iraq ratifying this Convention,

Noting moreover the importance of all States adhering to this Convention and encouraging its forthcoming Review Conference to reinforce the authority, efficiency and universal scope of the convention,

Stressing the importance of an early conclusion by the Conference on Disarmament of its work on a Convention on the Universal Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and of universal adherence thereto,

Aware of the use by Iraq of ballistic missiles in unprovoked attacks and therefore of the need to take specific measures in regard to such missiles located in Iraq,

Concerned by the reports in the hands of Member States that Iraq has attempted to acquire materials for a nuclear-weapons programme contrary to its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1 July 1968,

Recalling the objective of the establishment of a nuclear-weapons-free zone in the region of the Middle East,

Conscious of the threat that all weapons of mass destruction pose to peace and security in the area and of the need to work towards the establishment in the Middle East of a zone free of such weapons,

Conscious also of the objective of achieving balanced and comprehensive control of armaments in the region,

Conscious further of the importance of achieving the objectives noted above using all available means, including a dialogue among the States of the region,

Noting that resolution 686 (1991) marked the lifting of the measures imposed by resolution 661 (1990) in so far as they applied to Kuwait,

Noting that despite the progress being made in fulfilling the obligations of resolution 686 (1991), many Kuwaiti and third country nationals are still not accounted for and property remains unreturned,

Recalling the International Convention against the Taking of Hostages, opened for signature at New York on 18 December 1979, which categorizes all acts of taking hostages as manifestations of international terrorism,

Deploring threats made by Iraq during the recent conflict to make use of terrorism against targets outside Iraq and the taking of hostages by Iraq,

Taking note with grave concern of the reports of the Secretary-General of 20 March 1991 and 28 March 1991, and conscious of the necessity to meet urgently the humanitarian needs in Kuwait and Iraq,

Bearing in mind its objective of restoring international peace and security in the area as set out in recent resolutions of the Security Council,

Conscious of the need to take the following measures acting under Chapter VII of the Charter,

1. Affirms all thirteen resolutions noted above, except as expressly changed below to achieve the goals of this resolution, including a formal cease-fire;

A

2. Demands that Iraq and Kuwait respect the inviolability of the international boundary and the allocation of islands set out in the "Agreed Minutes Between the State of Kuwait and the Republic of Iraq Regarding the Restoration of Friendly Relations, Recognition and Related Matters", signed by them in the exercise of their sovereignty at Baghdad on 4 October 1963 and registered with the United Nations and published by the United Nations in document 7063, United Nations, Treaty Series, 1964;

I don't know if you all know this or not, but I still support the removal of Saddam based on Saddam and his defiance and treatment of his people.

My continued support never was based or justified by anything Bush said, my posts from before the war can verify that.

If we improve the lives of those living in Iraq then i consider that an honorable use of our military, Bush and his ideas be damned.

I supported the removal of SADDAM BY HIS OWN PEOPLE, and not by US or "Coalition" troops.

Dictators overthrown by their own people is the best way to achieve legitimacy and stability for the new regime.

I would fully 100% agree with you on that if Poppy hadn't caused the Iraqi's to rise up and then pull out sending them into the lions den with no support.

That is why i feel we owed it to them and had we stuck around to support them back then it would have been done by the hands of Iraqi's. we would have just been the insurance.

But Poppy's politics got in the way and it cost Iraqi lives in the end that we should have protected.

Here is a list of UN resolutions that Israel has not complied. As far as I know they have ignored every single resolution.

W. did what needed to be done, though i don't agree with how he actually went about it, it doesn't change the fact that we owed it to them in the name of all who were slaughtered because Poppy didn't support them in the overthrow.
