Bush Determined to Form
'Vast Coalition' Against Iraq |
| By Linda D. Kozaryn / American
Forces Press Service |
WASHINGTON,
Oct. 3, 2002 — U.S. President George W. Bush intends to
put together a vast coalition of countries that understand the
threat of Saddam Hussein.
"Military
option is my last choice, not my first," the president
said Thursday. "But Saddam has got to understand —
the United Nations must know - that the will of this country
is strong."
Bush talked about the
economy and jobs, the need for terrorist insurance, and the
war against terrorism in an address to Hispanic leaders at the
Eisenhower Executive Office Building. "War on terror is
more than just al Qaeda," the president stressed. "The
war on terror has to deal with nations who have terrorized their
own people and who have intention(s) to terrorize us."
Bush said he has decided to deal with
Iraq within the international community. He has called on other
nations to join the United States in the effort to disarm Iraq.
"My intent, of course, is for the United
Nations to do its job," Bush said. "I think it will
make it easier for us to keep the peace." The president
said he wants the world to understand that its Saddam Hussein's
obligation to disarm like he said he would. More |

WASHINGTON,
Oct. 3, 2002 — Coalition forces this morning struck
an Iraqi air defense center after a coalition plane in the
area dropping leaflets was fired upon, defense officials said.
A coalition plane in the southern no-fly
zone Oct. 2 was dropping leaflets advising Iraqi air-defense
artillery operators that if they track or fire on coalition
planes they are placing themselves in danger, according to
a DoD spokesman.
An Iraqi air defense site fired anti-aircraft
artillery and surface-to-air missiles on the plane. U.S. officials
would not say what type of plane it was. More |
