-- Bush Slams Iraq's 'Deception' on Missiles -- WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush said on Thursday any Iraqi plan to destroy banned missiles was part of "a campaign of deception" and he called for Baghdad to disarm completely. "The discussion about these rockets is part of his campaign of deception," Bush said. "See, he'll say, 'I'm not going to destroy the rockets' and then he'll have a change of mind this weekend and destroy the rockets and say, 'I've disarmed."' U.N. arms inspectors say the al-Samoud 2 rockets violate the 93-mile range limit imposed after the 1991 Gulf war and called for Iraq to start destroying them by March 1. "The rockets are just the tip of the iceberg. The only question at hand is total, complete disarmament, which he is refusing to do," Bush told reporters in the Oval Office. Speaking after a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Bush himself raised the issue of the missiles, saying he had noticed there had been "some talk about the illegal rockets in Iraq." An Iraqi official said Baghdad would respond within the next two days to the U.N. order to destroy its al-Samoud missiles but it was not immediately known what that response would be. Iraq had said previously that it was "seriously and genuinely" studying the order chief weapons inspector Hans Blix gave it last week to begin destroying, by Saturday, March 1, dozens of the missiles in a key test of Iraq's willingness to comply with U.N. disarmament demands. Bush drew a distinction between the 1991 Gulf war ordered by his father President George Bush to drive Iraqi troops out of Kuwait saying, "The mission now is to disarm Saddam Hussein in the name of peace, and we will disarm Saddam Hussein." The elder Bush has been criticized for stopping the war too early and leaving the Iraqi president in power. "When you commit troops to war, you must have a clear mission," the current president said. "Should we be forced to commit our troops because of his failure to disarm, the mission will be complete disarmament, which will mean regime change. That was not the mission in 1991."
