Not true. "all necessary means" embraces the use of force. "Serious consequences" does not. Nobody involved in this process has any doubt as to the difference. Thousands of hours were spent by the US lobbying for the language "all necessary means" in 1441, and the US did not get that language in the resolution because it would be authorization to use force -- and the UNSC was not prepared to authorize force in 1441. That is why the phrase "all necessary means" does not appear in 1441. You might have been confused, and are still confused -- but the people involved in this diplomatic process were 100% clear.
