Saddam's Web of Lies
Conceals WMD Program |

WASHINGTON,
Oct. 4, 2002 — Before making any judgments about Iraq,
it is important for the American people to know that Saddam
Hussein's regime lies to further its aims, Pentagon spokeswoman
Torie Clarke said Oct. 4.
She said Pentagon
officials would present a briefing in the next few days on the
Iraqi dictator's denial and deception operations. She said the
operations are very organized, comprehensive "and clearly
intended to hide Iraq's weapons of mass destruction."
As the American people, the Congress and the
United Nations confront issues on Iraq, Clarke said they should
remember that it has been Iraqi policy to lie to their own people,
neighboring countries and the world. "People should consider
that fact very carefully as they weigh their decisions on how
to deal with Iraq," she said.
Clarke
called the Iraqi denial and deceit campaign a sophisticated
program directed by the highest level in the government. She
said there is already evidence that Iraq is trying to conceal
its weapons of mass destruction program in anticipation of the
return of U.N. arms inspectors. More |

WASHINGTON,
Oct. 4, 2002 — The United States and Russia are partners
in the war against terrorism and both share the strategic
goal of seeing Iraq disarmed of its weapons of mass destruction,
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday.
Speaking at the U.S.-Russia Business Council's
annual meeting, Powell highlighted the strategic partnership
that President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin have
established and that they plan to deepen in the years ahead.
"Russia is becoming a full participant in the international
system," Powell said.
"Today, across the globe, Russia and
the United States are working together on issues of shared
concern, rather than vying for spheres of influence,"
he said. "The global chessboard of the Cold War, with
red pieces for Soviet communism and white pieces for the Free
World has been overturned once and for all." More |

| 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." More |

|
| WASHINGTON
(NNS) — Navy Medicine is playing
a breakthrough role in opening the
door to uncovering the mysteries of
one of the deadliness illnesses in
the world - one that kills more than
a million people each year.
Navy Medicine researchers
were key in decoding the malaria-causing
Plasmodium falciparum parasite genome,
a formidable task that took more than
six years in a combined effort by
military and academic scientists in
the U.S. and Europe. Mapping the malaria
genome will be an important step to
the development of malaria vaccines
and drugs. More
