Spain PM....we did not come to make decl of war ...we were coming after having made every possible effort, to keep greates possible agreement...for UN resolutions to be respected...this is the LAST opportunity for 1441 which was adopted by UN Secu council unanimously....making the last effort of the very last effort we have been making...we are well aware of the int'l opinon, and well aware of our responsibilities and obligations...if Saddam wants to avoid the consequences.....nothing in our statements or documents can prevent him from doing so....it is his responsibility

British PM for 4 1/2 mo's now .....we were prepared to set out clear tests some days ago and the reason we approached him that way is because of 1441....serious consequences, and this is really the impasse that we have...some say this should be no authorization , instead MORE discussion, but the truth is that without the credible ultimatum, that more discussion is just MORE DELAY....with Saddam remaining armed with weapons of Mass Destruction and as a murderous regime....a game he has played over the last 12 years....where int'l comm driven into perpetual negotiation, but never real and concrete disarmament...not a single person on Sec Council that doubts he is not cooperating.....
