| BUSH ON IRAQ |
America Makes Stand;
U.N. Must Confront Iraq |
WASHINGTON,
Sep. 15, 2002 — The United States will stand up for world
security and human dignity, U.S. President George W. Bush said
in his Saturday radio address to the nation. He called on the
United Nations to do the same by confronting the decade-long
defiance of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
"Saddam Hussein has made the case against
himself," the president said. "He has broken every
pledge he made to the United Nations and the world since his
invasion of Kuwait was rolled back in 1991. Sixteen times the
United Nations Security Council has passed resolutions designed
to ensure that Iraq does not pose a threat to international
peace and security. Saddam Hussein has violated every one of
these 16 resolutions — not once, but many times."

WASHINGTON — While America and its
allies have achieved many goals thus far in the war against
global terrorism, it's not time to rest on laurels, the U.S.
military's senior officer said here Friday. Air Force Gen.
Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told
reporters at the National Press Club that U.S. and coalition
forces have helped remove a hostile regime from power in Afghanistan
while eliminating a major terrorist safe haven. Story

Mass Weapons
Threat Real;
Iraq not Only Concern |
| WASHINGTON —
While Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program poses
the most immediate danger, other countries are also of
concern, a senior defense official said Friday. Iran,
North Korea, Syria, Libya, Sudan and Cuba have active
WMD programs, said the official. But what is of more concern
is the nexus between such states and terrorist organizations.
