((After last week's trip to the Middle East, Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright delivered a firm and resounding commitment to force Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein to comply with U-N weapons inspections. Speaking on the CBS
program FACE THE NATION, Albright said a swift and definitive attack may not
be far off
(SOT/ Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State/ "Face The Nation") "It's not a
matter of days or months, so it is in the weeks category."
(Albright - ) "We are prepared to use force. The purpose of which will be to
substantially diminish his ability to reconstitute his weapons of mass
destruction and their delivery systems and to threaten his neighbors."
But the man who lead US troops into Saddam's backyard during the Golf War in
1991 says as long as there is dissension among the Security Council, namely
Russia and France, Saddam still has some time...
(SOT/Norman Schwarzkopf/Retired US General/ NBC -"Meet The Press") "He wants
the sanctions lifted, and if the coalition fractures the he has a good chance
of having the sanctions lifted."
Americans appear to remain divided, as well. This weekend, as troops on board
the USS Independence in the Gulf continued with drills, (NAT SOT OF RALLY??)
demonstrators in Oklahoma City held a rally in hopes of a peaceful solution.
All sides say they are pursuing a diplomatic resolution, but the campaign for
support of any U-S lead attack continues - President Clinton and British Prime
Minister Tony Blair used the President's weekly radio address to reaffirm
their alliance...and Defense Secretary William Cohen has arrived in the Middle
East looking for more allies...
STAND UP close: Secretary Cohen will still seek support from Saudi Arabia,
once considered a key military location, But in an unexpected move, the U-S
has announced it no longer needs use of the Saudi's air base to carry out
any mission against Iraq.... MM CBS News Washington))
