| Saddam To "Accept" UN Order |
| 2002-11-05 |
| Saddam Hussein said yesterday that he was ready to accept a new United Nations resolution strengthening weapons inspections in Iraq, a move likely to postpone any attack on the country. Until he screws with the inspectors, anyway... The Iraqi President told Jörg Haider, the visiting Austrian far-right politician, that he would consider co-operating with the new resolution, which is expected to be passed by the UN Security Council this week. "If a resolution is issued which respects the UN Charter, international law and Iraq's sovereignty, security and independence, and does not provide a cover for America's ill intentions, we will view it in a way that makes us deal with it," Saddam said. "But since it will, forget about it." Iraq agreed in September to allow UN weapons inspectors to return, but it had insisted that there was no need for a resolution giving them broader powers. Britain and the US, however, are expected to win strong support in the Security Council this week for a tough new resolution warning Baghdad of the serious consequences of continued defiance. Unless the Frenchies manage to block it... |
