Iraq says it won't abide by new U.N. resolutions
The Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON -- In a bid to pre-empt the United States and further divide the United Nations, Iraq reversed course Saturday and said it would not abide by any new U.N. resolution allowing weapons inspectors access to key presidential compounds.

Baghdad's latest gambit came as the Bush administration was preparing for a week of intense lobbying at home and at the United Nations to win passage of at least one resolution needed to confront Iraqi President Saddam Hussein over his failure to surrender weapons of mass destruction.

While Washington is still pursuing a diplomatic course, the administration is also fine-tuning military plans in the event Iraq fails to cooperate. President Bush is now reviewing detailed military options delivered to the White House by the Pentagon earlier this month, U.S. officials said Saturday.

Translation for slow learners, by paragraph: 1) Conditional and limited access; refusal to abide by UN resolutions. 2) Bush working with UN to get the necessary new resolution(s). 3) Bush keeping the heat on.

PS: Re "that would be a sort of "fast-track" disarm or else policy -- but it is still completely different from regime change as a policy." That's rich - "fast-track disarm or we'll kick your butt, but we still won't call it regime change."
