Kofi Annan was only Secretary-General of the UN, though - he wasn't King of the World. His opinion doesn't carry the force of law. Would it have been a good move for the US & UK to obtain a second Security Council Resolution? Yes. Was it necessary? I don't think so.

Resolution 687 by itself only put obligations on Iraq to comply. Resolution 1441 by itself only confirmed that Iraq hadn't complied with Resolution 687. Resolution 678 was the authority Coalition forces used to use "all necessary means" to deal Iraqi non-compliance with the relevant Security Council resolutions.

You can't view these Resolutions individually - they're all tied together.

Yup...and if Saddam went back into Kuwait we could have kicked him out...again.



Iraq...from a UN perspective.



Hasn't been that I'm aware...what's your point?

The same point that's been made again and again..be careful, you'll go on ignore next.

So why do you feel Resolution 678 only applied to Iraqi forces in Kuwait? Why didn't it also apply to enforcing the Gulf War ceasefire?

I agree.

Yes...it was the authority to enforce any and ALL other resolutions...NONE OF WHICH called for the removal of Saddam.

I agree....as I said before...show me JUST ONE that called for the removal of Saddam.

It will all depend on what the definition of the word "is" is.....

I am good at being under your skin..and yet, you cannot do the same...why is that? Have you defined the word "is" yet?

Because that's what the resolutions called for...how do you figure bombing the hell out of a place is enforcing a cease fire?
