Iraq Has Refused To Disarm Peacefully
• Iraq’s actions to hide and cover up evidenceconstitute a deliberate campaign to prevent anymeaningful inspection work.
• We believe Iraq is in material breach of UN SecurityCouncil Resolution 1441.
• Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction are a real andpresent danger to the people of Iraq, its neighborsand the world.
• Terrorist groups could use these horrible weaponsanywhere in the world.
