WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Colin Powell continues to maintain a low profile on attacking Iraq, but close associates say it is not meant to signal his views. While some other senior advisers to President Bush have been publicly ypcal, Powell is concen trating on privately laying out a case to European allies and Arab friends that Iraq’s Presidenl Saddam Hussein poses a threat to the world, these intimates say. The secretary, in his consulta tions with foreign leaders, takes the position that even if Saddam reversed his refusal for 3 1/2 years to admit international inspectors to search for weapons of mass destruction it would not end the Bush administration's dispute with Baghdad. Powell says Iraq must go fur ther and disarm, as it promised the U.N. Security Council at the end of the Persian Gulf war to liberate Kuwait in 1.991. Whatever views Powell holds beyond that are reserved for the president, say Powell’s associates, speaking on condition of anonymity. But his consultations, mainly by telephone, are geared to seeking as much unity as possible on Iraq as a threat to stability in the Middle East, as well as elsewhere. His opportunity to lobby will expand this week as he attends an environmental and eco nomic summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. Leaders from Africa, Europe and Asia will attend — and be available for Powell to present the administration’s case against Saddam. Powell flies there Monday night. In a BBC program marking the anniversary of the Sept. 1 1 terror attacks, Powell stressed the need to hold unfettered international inspections in Iraq. “The president has been clear that he believes weapons inspectors should return,” he said. “Iraq has been in violation of these many U.N. resolutions for most of the last 11 years or so,” Powell said. “And so, as a first step, let’s see what the inspectors find.” Last week, when Britain appeared ready to pro- nn ■v Depart! :a e 1 to satis He said In nine times sii riot an en ' Powel lent spe i if Iraq complit fy the Bush adi nan Richard Hi )lied that woulc inistration. s, the icher suggest not be cnouc h (EEZSCEini Charter school students found to score poorly had b .ktracked o and that ti 1st' munitments ctions were in themsi , profile is partly due to taking iome time for vacation.

Bush has said little and evidently has not yet made a decision on how to attempt to overthrow Saddam. ■ Powell has given no public indica tion he disagrees with the administration’s goal of ousting the Iraqi leader. His advice on how to go about it is for the pres ident’s ears alone, officials say. The former chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff brings with that advice long experience in combat. At the same time, he is known to be an advocate of restraint — against Iraq after Kuwait was freed and against intervention in the Balkans against eth nic conflict in the first Clinton administration. Most of the European allies and Arab govern ments have sought to dissuade Bush from launch ing an attack. And members of Congress are asking the administration to outline its position and provide an assessment of whether the U.S. military was ready to take on Iraq. Sen. Chuck Hagel, a ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and an early advocate of caution in Bush’s approach to Iraq, agrees that Saddam regime is a threat. But the Nebraskan says Bush needs to keep an eye on a political map filled with dangers.
