[QUOTE="canon, post: 168827, member: 8423"] Edit: Slothrop, I went to your jurist site and found a link to one of the articles cited earlier in my posts (scroll up). The jurist site listed this portion of the article: "Some within the Bush administration seem to be arguing that the United States is not an occupying power with respect to any portion of Iraq because the U.S. is on a “liberation” mission. Others might argue that the U.S. is not an occupying power of any portion of Iraqi territory because the U.S. has not formally proclaimed that it is an occupying power and/or that some fighting is still taking place in certain portions of Iraq. However, [B]regardless of the purpose of the overall mission, the lack of formal admission, and the fact that some fighting is still taking place, [COLOR=Red]the United States is an occupying power with competencies and responsibilities under the laws of war concerning occupied territory in each portion of Iraqi territory that falls within effective control of its military[/COLOR][/B]."
