Powell
Continued from page 1A
shells.
The U.N. specialists worked alongside
a team of Iraqis — the sort of show of
cooperation by Baghdad that administra
tion officials have repeatedly dismissed as
a charade.
There were fresh signs of diplomatic
stress as the United States sought to prod
other governments to swing behind mili
tary action.
Despite the dispute at NATO, French
President Jacques Chirac’s spokeswoman
said the European leader had told his
Turkish counterpart by phone that Paris
“would assume its obligations if Turkey
were really threatened.”
In the Persian Gulf region, the United
Arab Emirates and Bahrain became the
first Arab states to announce they were
sending troops and weapons to defend
Kuwait against a possible Iraqi attack.
In his appearance before Congress,
Powell said he believed it was still possi
ble to “rally the international community”
to back up the threat of an earlier United
Nations Security Council resolution to use
force to disarm Iraq.
But he said the “moment of truth” was
approaching, and that the United States
was prepared to lead a coalition against
Saddam, whether the United Nations
approved.
The next diplomatic checkpoint at the
United Nations is set for Friday, when the
chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, is to
present a fresh report on Iraqi compliance
with international disarmament demands.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of
anonymity, said Powell would spend the day
in New York, and that among the ministers
on hand would be Dominique de Villepin of
France, Joschka Fischer of Germany and
Tang Jiaxuan of China, all of whose govern
ments oppose conflict with Iraq.
France, Germany and Russia unveileda
plan this week to triple nuclear inspectors
in Iraq from the current level of about 110,
add surveillance aircraft to the effort and
take other steps to bolster the inspection
efforts in an attempt to forestall war.
Powell’s skepticism about more inspec
tors was echoed at the Pentagon, where
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said,
“I can’t quite imagine” what the purpose
would be.
“If you need to have inspectors to see
whether or not Iraq is cooperating, one 01
two will do that,” he said. “If you thinl
you need inspectors to try to cover a cob-
try the size of France, then you need tilt
sands and thousands of them.”
CIA Director George Tenet also dis
missed talk that inspections could disarm
Iraq. “This is a country that essentially
built a weapons Of mass destruction capa
bility while inspections were ongoing,"he
told a Senate committee.
