WASHINGTON (GOPUSA News) -- The White House on Wednesday warned that the standoff with Iraq was entering its final phase.
According to White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, "The President still believes that if diplomacy results in strong and powerful expressions of unity toward Saddam Hussein so that Saddam Hussein sees as powerful message as possible that he needs to disarm, then this can be resolved peacefully."
Fleischer also pointed out that the president is determined to form a coalition to, by force if necessary, disarm Saddam Hussein if he did not fully comply with U.N. resolutions.
President Bush, during a speech in Grand Rapids, MI said, "The risk of doing nothing, the risk of assuming the best from Saddam Hussein, is just not a risk worth taking, so I call upon the world to come together and insist that this dangerous man disarm."
