What Does "Serious Consequences" Mean?

Richard Boucher says the invasion of Iraq was legal since the UN resolution stated that if Saddam doesn't comply he will face serious consequences. This comes after Cofi Annan called the US invasion of Iraq illegal. Here is what he said
From our point of view and from the Charter point of view [the war] was illegal.

I'm wondering why does the US government need this war to be legal! Does it mean that whatever they do is legal and they always respect international laws?
