BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's parliament recommended Tuesday that
President Saddam Hussein reject the new U.N. weapons inspection
resolution, but the Iraqi leader's son offered a way out - make Arabs
part of the U.N. team.
Odai Saddam Hussein's proposal, which echoes one from the Arab
League, didn't impress Washington. The United States insists Iraq
accept the U.N. resolution without quibbling in order to avoid war.
The final decision rests with Saddam, who must respond to the United
Nations by Friday.
"There's nothing in this resolution that is negotiable," Sean
McCormack, President Bush's spokesman, said in Washington.
