Bush: Confrontation With Iraq Likely
UNITED NATIONS ? It is "highly doubtful" that Saddam Hussein will comply with U.S. demands and avoid a confrontation with the world community, President Bush said Friday morning.
Meeting with African leaders at the United Nations, Bush reiterated his request for a U.N. resolution demanding that Saddam end his weapons programs.
"We're talking days and weeks, not months and years," the president said as he outlined his request for a U.N.-imposed deadline on Iraq. "That's essential for the safety of the world."
