Gulf War II: Iraq 2003
Push for new Security Council resolution
Soon after the second Blix report the US and the UK began
to push for a new resolution that would clear the way for military action
against Iraq on the grounds that Iraq had failed to disarm. On February
24 the US, the UK and Spain submitted a draft
resolution to the Security Council. The resolution did not include
deadlines but it stated that Iraq had failed to take the final opportunity
to disarm and as a result it would 'face serious consequences as a result
of its continued violations of its obligations'. As far as they were concerned
Iraq was simply stalling and it had used up the all itschances. Iraqs
time was up.
