[Federal Union] Federal Union: Jack Straw at the Chilcot enquiry: a blunt instrument: “Resolution 1441 does not stipulate that there has to be a second Security Council resolution to authorise military action in the event of a further material breach by Iraq. The idea that there should be a second Security Council resolution was an alternative discussed informally among members of the P5 of the Security Council and the elected 10 during the weeks of negotiation, but no draft to that effect was ever tabled by any member of Security Council, nor put to the vote.

At the same time the 45 minute deployment time was a fact but personally, although Cyprus was mentioned as a target I considered this a deflection as I thought WMD would not be deployed against any state other than Israel.
