I wonder why no one in media asks the question about the danger of Israel
possessing weapons of mass destruction?

Text of White House Response to Iraq

The text of a statement by the White House in response to Iraq's offer for
the unconditional return of weapons inspectors:

As the president said, the U.N. Security Council needs to decide how to
enforce its own resolutions, which the Iraqi regime has defied for more than
a decade.

This will require a new, effective U.N. Security Council resolution that
will actually deal with the threat Saddam Hussein poses to the Iraqi people,
to the region, and to the world. That is the course the Security Council is
on, and the United States is engaged in consultations with Council members
and other partners in New York at this time.

This is not a matter of inspections. It is about disarmament of Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction and the Iraqi regime's compliance with all other
Security Council resolutions.

This is a tactical step by Iraq in hopes of avoiding strong U.N. Security
Council action. As such, it is a tactic that will fail.

It is time for the Security Council to act.
