Selective in our quotes, aren't we? Powell and Straw are saying the same thing. Disarmament is the objective, but regime change seems/may be necessary to achieve that. "The U.S. continues to believe that the best way to disarm Iraq is through a regime change," Powell said in an interview with the BBC. ... "The objective which we seek is the disarmament of the Saddam Hussein regime," British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said Wednesday. "It may be that a consequence of that process will be regime change. "It may be that a means to achieve that process is regime change, but in terms of the objective it is disarmament," he told BBC radio. ... Powell urged the international community to keep up the pressure on Saddam via the United Nations. "Pressure has to be maintained on Iraq until the U.N. is satisfied that he has got rid of these weapons or allowed inspectors in to make sure of that -- that's the only way to do it -- and then we'll see whether or not that's adequate or whether more action is required."
