@Dib8r. The journalist is writing about a report from the US dept of defence. If you read through the article you will see quotes from the CIA pretty much disagreeing with your points, weapons being sold by Al Qaeda to Iraq would be direct links. I'd like it if you could please post a few links as sources as well for your claims about WMDs being made in Sudan with funding from Al Qaeda being the same as those used by Saddam if possible? I've had a search but so far haven't come up with any.
Also can I please have the reference for the Geneve Convention thing? I'm genuinely interested in this because it'd be quite radical for there to be a clause revoking sovereignity - it's the one thing that nations are generally most protective of.
@Kasz. There was no imminent expected massacre of civilians in Vietnam as far as I know?
