We Will Not Shrink from War
(Wall Street Journal) Secretary of State Colin Powell - On Wednesday, we will offer a straightforward, sober, and compelling demonstration that Saddam is concealing the evidence of his weapons of mass destruction, while preserving the weapons themselves. Iraq has not complied with Resolution 1441 and has failed the resolution's two tests - to disclose and to cooperate - in a manner that constitutes a further material breach of the resolution. The U.S. seeks Iraq's peaceful disarmament. But we will not shrink from war if that is the only way to rid Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction.
