IRAQ AGREES TO WEAPONS INSPECTIONS; CHENEY BEGS
THEM TO RECONSIDER

Don’t Make Any Hasty Decisions, Vice President Urges
Saddam

Just minutes after the government of Iraq agreed to the unconditional
return of U.N. weapons inspectors, Vice President Dick Cheney urged the
Iraqis to reconsider their decision.

“Let’s not be too hasty about this,” Mr. Cheney urged the Iraqi
government. “You could be making a huge mistake here, guys.”

Mr. Cheney added that accepting weapons inspectors back into their
country was a “big decision” and encouraged the Iraqis to “sleep on it.”

But hours after Mr. Cheney begged the Iraqis to reconsider, Iraqi
strongman Saddam Hussein released an official statement of his own,
leaving little doubt that he intended to stick with his decision.

“Not only am I sure that I want the weapons inspectors to come back to
Iraq,” Saddam’s statement read, “but I am totally stoked about it.”
