Global Message

MESSAGE

  • It is important for the world to see that the US and its allies are united in resolve to deal with the threats we face.

  • Saddam Hussein's regime now claims that Iraq would comply unconditionally with UN demands.

  • While this is evidence that world pressure can force the Iraqi regime to respond, it is also a return to form.

  • Repeatedly, Iraq's version of "without conditions" has meant deception, delay, and disregard for the United Nations.

  • Saddam Hussein has repeatedly violated 16 UNSC resolutions designed to ensure that Iraq does not pose a threat to international peace and security.
