Serious consequences could mean lots of things. There is no definition anywhere on earth, to which I'm aware, that serious consequences means fullscale death and destruction, where innocents get killed, from war.

Serious consequences could mean bringing Saddam before an international court--which probably should have been done before any war move.

Serious consequences a change, a stiffening of the UN sanctions.

Serious consequences could mean the expulsion of Iraq form the UN.

Serious consequences could mean freezing Iraqi assets in foreign banks.

Serious consequences could mean could mean a land and sea blockade.

Serious consequences could mean Iraqi diplomatic personnel expelled from the countries of UN member nations.

Serious consequences could mean recognition the Kurdish territory or an independent Iraqi entity in exileas the government of Iraq.

Serious consequences could involve pressure brought to bear by Iraq's Arab neighbors.

Serious consequences could mean anything. Syria, as virtually all nations except Yemen, supported driving by means of force Iraq from Kuwait. Under no conditions would Syria have voted for war by its support of Resolution 1441.

Fundamentally, it's not the role of the United States to interpret to its own advantage only international law as outlined under the auspices of the United Nations. To do this is a flawed and wrongful policy.
