Bush Warned a Full Scale War Using “Biggest Military Power”

As soon as the Diplomatic Committee of the Iraqi Congress suggested the President Sadam Hussein on the 11th (local time) saying, “Refuse the UN Weapons Inspection Resolution,” America threatened immediately, “We can take a military action.”

The President George W. Bush said during an invitational reception for the veterans at the White House, “If it’s necessary, we will use the biggest military powers against Iraq,” and “America will disarm Iraq with the allied army if the President Hussein doesn’t.”

The Presidential Security Aide Condoliza Rice

said to the US National Public Radio, “The Iraqi Congress does not have the right to refuse of accept the Resolution. Only the President Hussein can decide whether to accept it or not,” and turned down the suggestion ‘to refuse the Resolution’ by the Iraqi Congress.

The Iraqi Congress (total of 250 seats) will vote on whether to accept the Resolution or not and submit the result to the highest decision making organization, Revolution Commanding Committee (RCC) led by the President Hussein by the 12th.

In the meantime, the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld stressed again in response to a question, ‘Can America tolerated if American soldiers are keep dying during a war against Iraq,’ during a meeting with international businessmen on the 11th, “There is no question for American Army to change the Hussein`s regime.”

He also said, “It might not be easy to find an evidence for making massive killing weapons although Iraq accepts the resolution and the inspection starts,” and explained, “It is because Iraqi buried many weapons deep down under ground and killed all the people who mentioned about the weapons development program to the inspectors.”

In relation to this, the American daily USA Today reported that day, “American Army has finished the war planning against Iraq in case of the delay of the inspection.”

In the meantime, the MAPW, which is the gathering of doctors against the war around the world, publicized at the Australian Congress on the 12th that 500,000 would be killed if there would be a conventional war, and 4 million would be killed if there would be a nuclear war. The MAPW predicted that maximum of 5,000 soldiers in the allied army as well as the US army would be killed in action.
