Months before congress approved of the invasion. These attacks occurred while Bush, and his minions, were professing that we didn't want war, and were working to find a peaceful solution.
This ties right into one of the claims to arise for the Downing Street Memo, and the other leaked memos in the collection. Part of these memos make it clear that, lacking a clear legal cause for war, the US and UK would try to wrongfoot, or goad Saddam in to war.
It is astounding that it took the US Government and military to forget the results of out last attempts at secret bombings. It is even more astounding that this isn't getting any notice in the wider media market.
Our nation, under orders from the Bush administration, attacked another nation. This was done without cause, and without authority to do so given by any governmental or international body.

As long as the righties hold the congress, it doesnt matter at all.
