| PRESIDENT BUSH |
Saddam Must Comply
With World Demands |
WASHINGTON,
Oct. 6, 2002 — America’s future of peace
and security cannot be left in the hands of Saddam Hussein,
U.S. President George W. Bush said in his Saturday radio address
to the nation.
Saddam is a “cruel and dangerous man,”
Bush said. “The dictator must be disarmed. And all the
United Nations resolutions against his brutality and support
for terrorism must be enforced.” Transcript |

Saddam's Web of Lies
Conceals WMD Program |
| By Jim Garamone / American Forces
Press Service |
WASHINGTON
— 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 |
