Article: Iraqi parliament rejects U.N. resolution; Not negotiable:The final decision is up to Saddam

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.
