Which, of course, was illegal, because it most certainly did not.

Resolution 1441 was to take the issue back to the UN in order to decide upon what to do. Thus Powell's pathetic plea to the UN.

I predicted this outcome and that ultimately there would be a Chapter 6 resolution referencing Chapter 7 (not triggering or invoking Chapter 7, simply referencing it under Article 36).

Except that this resolution doesn't contain the "serious consequences" clause cosmicone Sep 2013 #2
