The resolution in late 2001 was the one he was declared in non-compliance with- the LAST CHANCE. You keep talking about things after that.Try to get YOUR facts right.

First of all, please show me the wording in the resolution that specifies what the action should be that would be taken if Saddam didn't comply, and also the wording that authorizes the US to take such action.

Secondly, as I said before, at the time the US was declaring its intentions to invade Iraq, the UN inspectors specifically stated that they considered Saddam to be in compliance with that resolution to their satisfaction. That is why they wanted to continue with the inspections and they did not want the US to invade. I repeat: according to the UN, Saddam was complying with the resolution to the satisfaction of the UN.
