Reply #1: I'm sorry-- could you rephrase the question...? [View All]

Since you want a simple answer, the question needs to be straightforward. The IWR is the Iraq War Resolution, which has virtually nothing to do with weapons inspections. Inspections were performed by UNSCOM and UNMOVIC. I'm sure you know all this-- maybe you just phrased the question ambiguously?

The last day that UNMOVIC inspectors were in Iraq was 17 March 2003 if I'm not mistaken. Was that your question? They left three days before the invasion began.

on edit-- the IWR does not call for either of the actions you mentioned in your OP-- they are both recognized in the past tense in the preamble, but not in the resolution itself (after the words "it is resolved").
