This is the overview of the UN resolution that the UN Security Council passed Thursday morning. It envisions the US and UK keeping control of the country, but the UN having a voice in forming a new Iraqi government. Also, there might be a role for UN weapons inspectors. A final decision on inspectors seems to be put off until the future, but the US is asking UN inspectors to examine the Tuwaitha nuclear plant along with its own experts.
