| U.N. rejects Iraqi response |
| 2002-08-20 |
| The Security Council refused Monday to take up Iraq's response to U.N. demands that it allow weapons inspectors back in the country. An Iraqi letter sent Friday to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan included neither an acceptance of the roadmap for the return of the inspectors nor a formal invitation to resume inspections. Instead, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri told Annan that Iraq wants to continue a dialogue with the United Nations on the return of inspectors — but with conditions that Annan already rejected. They figure that as long as they're talking they're not getting attacked. Wonder how that order for more Tomahawks is coming? |
