There is a resolution that authorized the no-fly zone that was enforced by UK and US together... I'd guess that one would suffice for the use of force for compliance with UN actions.
And, that report is out of date; there are more recent discoveries, and will be from here on out as more and larger areas of Iraq are searched. I'd think that cyclosarin sufficient to kill half-a-million people qualifies as a sizeable quantity, although in volume it's rather tiny. I have friends over there that have seen lots more than the press has seen fit (or been allowed) to print, but I think it is primarily the old stuff that is less potent (though, to be sure, less dead is still dead).
