I don't think it's a matter of whether the war was justified, it's a matter of legalities and process.
There's a process you must go through before you attack another country, and if the US didn't follow that process, then it's illegal.
It's like if you KNOW someone is a murderer, you can't just waltz up into their house and take evidence... you need to follow the process, get a warrant, and do your bidness.
THAT is what he means by "illegal", not "Attacking Iraq was wrong because Saddam is a sweet lady who eats candy."
Of course, it all boils down to how the charter is interpreted. There IS that portion that says something to the lines of "or face dire consequences/actions" if something isn't followed.
