Great Britain, Spain, and the United States have introduced a new resolution stating that Iraq has failed to meet the requirements of Resolution 1441. Saddam Hussein is not disarming. This is a fact. It cannot be denied.

Resolution 1441 offered Iraq "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations"
Great Britain, Spain, and the United States did not gain a further resolution to sanction military action against Iraq. That action was illegal.

Resolution 660, which you are referring to specifically gave sanction for military action if Iraq did not remove its troops from Kuwait. Iraq had no troops in Kuwait in 2003. You argument is nonsense.
Government policy, which is all you are quoting, has nothing to do with international law.
