Today, no nation can possibly claim that Iraq has disarmed. And it will not disarm so long as SaddamHussein holds power. For the last four-and-a-half months, the United States and our allies have worked withinthe Security Council to enforce that Council's long-standing demands. Yet, some permanent members of theSecurity Council have publicly announced they will veto any resolution that compels the disarmament of Iraq.These governments share our assessment of the danger, but not our resolve to meet it. Many nations, however,do have the resolve and fortitude to act against this threat to peace, and a broad coalition is now gatheringto enforce the just demands of the world. The United Nations Security Council has not lived up to itsresponsibilities, so we will rise to ours.
