But the time-frame between the two resolutions may be measured in months rather than weeks. But the UN process has not deterred the U.S. from pressing ahead with military preparations. Secretary of State Colin Powell told the BBC Wednesday that Saddam's compliance may not deter the U.S. from moving to oust him, and the military buildup continues apace.
