KEY POINTS
The President is pleased to have reached agreement today with
the bipartisan House leadership on language for a joint congressional
resolution on Iraq.
The security of our country is the commitment of both political
parties, and the responsibility of both elected branches of
government.
Recognizing that Saddam Hussein was a serious threat, Congress
passed a strong resolution on Iraq in 1998. Four years later his
regime is a grave and growing danger.
We will continue to work with our partners in the UN Security
Council to secure a new resolution that pressures the Iraqi regime to
respond to the requirements of the international community and makes
clear the consequences of non-compliance.
