49r-Is this total hubris?>>Bombing Can Render Saddam Safe-Clinton WASHINGTON - President Clinton threatened Friday to bomb Iraq back into a state of relative harmlessness and Russia said prospects for a peaceful solution were bleak. Clinton issued the threat after talks at the White House with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the only Western leader so far to unequivocally back his readiness to use military force against Saddam Hussein. "The precise question ... is, could any military action, if all else fails, substantially reduce or delay Saddam Hussein's capacity to build weapons of mass destruction and deliver them on his neighbors?'' Clinton told reporters. "The answer to that, I am convinced, is yes. Those are the criteria for me.'' Both he and Blair said all diplomatic ways of ending the impasse over U.N. inspections of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction should first be exhausted, but the British leader added: "It must be a diplomatic solution based on, and fully consistent with, the principles which we have set out ... We have of course to prepare in case diplomacy cannot work.'' In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov said a military outcome was fraught with "very serious negative consequences''. "I don't think we can yet say firmly that the option of a diplomatic solution has won. It is proving very difficult to push it through.'' Moscow is playing a leading role in trying to mediate a peaceful solution to the crisis over Saddam's refusal to grant U.N. inspectors unhindered access to his arms-making facilities, a condition of the 1991 Gulf War settlement. At the United Nations, Iraq reacted angrily to a new oil-for-food proposal, saying the plan amounted to allowing the world body to dictate basic details of its budget. A letter from Foreign Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf rejected key parts of the proposal under which the United Nations would designate how much Iraq should spend for food, medicine, education, electricity repairs and other sectors. Currently Iraq is allowed to sell $2 billion worth of oil over six months. Secretary-General Kofi Annan this week recommended increasing this to $5.2 billion to provide greater benefits for ordinary Iraqis, suffering from sanctions imposed since Baghdad's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait. U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen, speaking to reporters on the first leg of a trip to the Gulf, criticized other members of the U.N. Security Council for failing to take a tough enough stance against Iraq. "I have been disappointed with the Security Council's action to date, that they have passed resolutions and yet seem unwilling to condemn Saddam's action or say that he has been in either significant or material breach,'' Cohen said. He said an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) of four warships and about 2,000 Marines was on its way to the Gulf to join three aircraft carriers and more than 300 warplanes already in the region. Two U.S. warplanes based on an aircraft carrier in the Gulf collided in mid-air on Friday and crashed into the sea. One pilot was killed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And we have yet another Ted Kopple regarding this>>Starr Berates Clinton Lawyer Over Sex Scandal WASHINGTON - Independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr Friday accused President Clinton's lawyer of smear tactics and suggested there was "an orchestrated plan'' to derail his investigation into the White House sex scandal. "Fiercely aggressive representation, including through media grandstanding, cannot be an excuse for smearing a lawyer through reckless accusations,'' Starr said in a scathing letter to Clinton attorney David Kendall and released by the prosecutor's office. Kendall Friday released a 15-page letter to Starr accusing his office of leaking secret grand jury testimony in the probe of the relationship between Clinton and former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Kendall said he would seek judicial relief, including a contempt of court ruling. Starr replied that he found Kendall's letter "strange and inappropriate'' and said Kendall's role as a private, loyal defense counsel "does not qualify you to lecture me on professional conduct and my legal responsibilities.'' "Second, the timing of your letter - arriving in the midst of what appears to be an orchestrated plan to deflect and distract this investigation - undermines your expression of outrage,'' Starr wrote. Starr said that he would investigate whether anyone in his office was the source of any leaks, but said "the facts'' cited by Kendall were known to many outside his office including witnesses and lawyers.
