DEPENDS WHAT THE MEANING OF "UN" IS:

West on brink of Iraq war (Joe Murphy, 9/17/02, Evening Standard)

The US and Britain returned to the brink of war today as Saddam Hussein's dramatic promise to allow unfettered weapons inspections turned out to have strings attached.

Iraq made a surprise offer late last night to provide "unconditional access" to United Nations inspectors, raising hopes of a peaceful outcome to the Gulf crisis.

But today it emerged that the offer only applied to military bases--which could let Saddam hide chemical and biological arms stockpiles elsewhere.

Maybe I'm misreading this definition?:

un con di tion al Pronunciation Key (nkn-dsh-nl) adj.

Without conditions or limitations; absolute
