It officially redefines the Iraq crisis, at least in the international arena, as one of disarmament, not regime change, and may at least delay a U.S attack.
It provided a powerful tool to fight for U.S accountability to multilateralism and the United Nations, and can be claimed as a partial victory by those who oppose the war.
