to Spare Iraq Oil in War, Stoppage Seen Brief MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir
Putin, lining up behind France, Germany and China, told President Bush on
Thursday that the world had to hear U.N. inspectors before any military action
against Iraq.
Putin, in a hotline call to Washington, told Bush next week's report by the
arms inspectors to the U.N. Security Council held the key to the next move in
the Iraqi crisis. Comments Russia, France, Germany and China have all come out against war with
Iraq. It doesn't surprise me that Russia, France and China would oppose
this war. They've all been or are presently in bed with Iraq to some
degree. We may find out that their ties are greater then we thought when
it's all said and done. I have heard a few commentators say they believe
that these countries will eventually come on board but are looking to bargain
with the U.S. In other words its probably going to cost us in some way to
get them on board. War has never been something to jump into and you must also count the
cost. There is always many factors to consider including lose of
life. That part of the equation is always very difficult to accept.
Unfortunately, we live in a very dangerous world that absolutely can't afford to
get anymore dangerous. North Korea and Iran (just to name a few) have
already gone past the point of conventional warfare. For a decade we have
foolishly looked the other way as known enemies have developed weapons of mass
destruction and supported terrorism. As you know America's wakeup call
came on September 11th. What am I saying. I don't want to invade any country, but if we don't I
see a day coming when a war with Iraq will no longer be conventional. I
see a day coming when nuclear weapons will reach our shores and millions will be
destroyed in a matter of minutes. I see a day when a man who is controlled
by satan himself will be in a position to start World War III and won't lose a
minutes sleep over it. Yes, this is a very dangerous time and getting more dangerous by the
minute. It is by the hand of God that this world has not destroyed itself,
and despite America's shortcomings, it is by His hand that our children are
safe. Be in prayer for our present that he will seek wisdom from God in this time
of great trouble. I have to say that I do believe that we will be in war very shortly. Pastor Malone
HEBRON, West Bank (AP) - Palestinians opened fire on a vehicle south of the West
Bank city of Hebron and three Israelis were killed, witnesses and rescue
services said Thursday.
(AP) - Continuing a push by the Bush administration to bolster support for a
possible war against Iraq, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said Thursday
that disarming Saddam Hussein is "a crucial part of winning the war on
terror." In an address to the Council on Foreign Relations, Wolfowitz, one
of the foremost hawks in the Bush administration, said the decision of whether
to use force is not up to President Bush or the United Nations. "The
decision rests entirely with Saddam Hussein," Wolfowitz said.
(AP) - Hamas and Islamic Jihad will not agree to an Egyptian proposal for a
one-year truce with Israel, representatives of the militant Muslim groups said
Thursday. "Our position is clear ... we as a movement don't accept any
truce in our resistance to the occupation," Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan
told The Associated Press in Cairo. Hamdan was in Cairo for a meeting of
Palestinian factions scheduled to start Friday to discuss an Egyptian proposal
that included the truce.
