U.S. Will Ask U.N. to State Hussein Has Not Disarmed nytimes.com

[ I'm a little confused about how anybody is supposed to miss what is "cleary the intent" here. ]

The Bush administration is drafting a United Nations Security Council resolution with Britain declaring that Saddam Hussein has failed to disarm, and must now face unspecified "consequences," senior administration officials said today.

The resolution, which they expect to present next week, is designed to counter efforts by France and Germany to give the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq more heft and more time, an approach that administration officials insist would be futile. Senior officials describe the drafts of the resolution as a short restatement of key passages of Resolution 1441, passed unanimously in November.

It would conclude, one official said today, with "words to the effect that Saddam didn't avail himself of his final chance to disarm, and will now face the `serious consequences' we've been talking about." It makes no specific reference to military action, although that is clearly the intent. . . .
