Want to know what I think, Mr. Prez? I'll tell you anyway. I don't think Bush is going to push for an attack on Iraq. I think he is appearing to in order to exert great pressure on Saddam to admit the weapons inspectors into Iraq to make unimpeded inspections.

I think if he takes this approach, France, Italy, Germany, and many other countries will support it. Renewal of inspections will not work, though, unless there is an armed force available to enforce the resolution.

The ball will then definitely be in Saddam's court. If he refuses to allow unimpeded inspections, then there will be an attack, and it will be approved by the U. N., and allied forces will join U. S. forces in the attack.

Those are my thoughts on the president's speech at the U. N.
