Good enough:
(The Security Council) Requests the Secretary General immediately to notify Iraq of this resolution, which is binding on Iraq; demands that Iraq confirm within seven days of that notification its intention to comply fully with this resolution; and demands further that Iraq co-operate immediately, unconditionally, and actively with UNMOVIC and the IAEA. Recalls, in that context, that the council has repeatedly warned Iraq that it will face serious consequences as a result of its continued violations of its obligations. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2412837.stm compare with UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall have unrestricted rights of entry into and out
of Iraq, the right to free, unrestricted, and immediate movement to and from
inspection sites, and the right to inspect any sites and buildings, including
immediate, unimpeded, unconditional, and unrestricted access to Presidential
Sites equal to that at other sites.

"The Security Council decides that false statements or omissions in the declaration submitted by Iraq to the Council and failure by Iraq at any time to comply and co-operate fully in accordance with the provisions laid out in this resolution, shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations, and that such breach authorizes member states to use all necessary means to restore international peace and security in the area." Inspection teams:
"Any permanent member of the Security Council may request to be represented on any inspection team with the same right and protections." "Teams shall be accompanied at the bases by sufficient UN security forces to protect them... shall have the right to declare for the purposes of this resolution no-fly/no-drive zones, exclusion zones, and/or ground and air transit corridors, which shall be enforced by UN security forces or by members of the Council."
Oh Dear - This must be stopped:

this is a act of WAR - regardless of anyone and
anything - It is not necessary or wise, it is dangerous, harmful - so far Bush
has done no harm and even done good, even when he seems wrong - (pressure is
good - war is bad) but this is just plain stupid: (thoughtful prudent people do
not a force war on anyone)
The statement does not stick to the facts (truth
does matter) Tries to make Iraq into terrorist - trying to bait Democrats
into opposition - bad move - the Democrats will delay, mumble, and revise - too
bad Bush people couldn't just be straight with the UN, congress and the people -
But then the boss is tired - stressed - pressured - and angry - not a good
condition for cool heads under fire. (There is no evidence of terrorist ties or
direct threat to the United States) This is propaganda not evidence.
It doesn't mention disarmament - only regime
change and force - there is no way Iraq could meet American Demands - all the
crimes are in the past nothing in the future would change that - they are
guilty, guilty, guilty and the sentence is; There are no conditions where war
would not be required under this logic - HANG THEM -
Whereas Congress in the Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338) has expressed its sense that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove from power the current Iraqi regime and promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime; Whereas the president has authority under the Constitution to take action in order to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States, as Congress recognized in the joint resolution on Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40); and Whereas the president has authority under the Constitution to use force in order to defend the national security interests of the United States;
Whereas Iraq's demonstrated capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction, the high risk that the current Iraqi regime will either employ those weapons to launch a surprise attack against the United States or its armed forces or provide them to international terrorists who would do so, and the extreme magnitude of harm that would result to the United States and its citizens from such an attack, combine to justify the use of force by the United States in order to defend itself; UNDATED: to defend itself. Whereas Iraq is in material breach of its disarmament and other obligations under United Nations Security Council Resolution 687, to cease repression of its civilian population that threatens international peace and security under United Nations Security Council Resolution 688, and to cease threatening its neighbors of United Nations operations in Iraq under United Nations Security Council Resolution 949, and United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 authorizes use of all necessary means to compel Iraq to comply with these ``subsequent relevant resolutions;'' Whereas Congress in the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1) has authorized the president to use the Armed Forces of the United States to achieve full implementation of Security Council Resolutions 660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669, 670, 674, and 677, pursuant to Security Council Resolution 678; Whereas Congress in section 1095 of Public Law 102-190 has stated that it ``supports the use of all necessary means to achieve the goals of Security Council Resolution 687 as being consistent with the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq (Public Law 102-1),'' that Iraq's repression of its civilian population violates United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 and ``constitutes a continuing threat to the peace, security, and stability of the Persian Gulf region,'' and that Congress ``supports the use of all necessary means to achieve the goals of Resolution 688''; Whereas Congress in the Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338) has expressed its sense that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove from power the current Iraqi regime and promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime; Whereas the president has authority under the Constitution to take action in order to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States, as Congress recognized in the joint resolution on Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40); and Whereas the president has authority under the Constitution to use force in order to defend the national security interests of the United States; Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Further Resolution on Iraq''. SECTION 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMS FORCES. The president is authorized to use all means that he determines to be appropriate, including force, in order to enforce the United Nations Security Council resolutions referenced above, defend the national security interests of the United States against the threat posed by Iraq, and restore international peace and security in the region. |
