__Bush Suddenly Demands Regime Change, Prompting Russia to Threaten a Veto

Six months of Bush's bluffing are coming to a close, as Bush is being forced to reveal his
bottom line for Iraq. UN Resolution 1441, which was adopted unanimously, called only for
disarmament; Saddam could stay if he disarmed. But Bush now demands Saddam's departure:
"It's disarmament AND regime change," said Ari. This unilateral US demand outraged Canada's
Jean Chretien: "If you start changing regimes, where do you stop, this is the problem? Who is
next? Give me the list, the priorities." And Bush's never-ending shell game outraged Russia's
Igor Ivanov, who declared "Russia has the right to veto." "Russia will not support a resolution or
resolutions which directly or indirectly open a way towards a power solution of the Iraqi
problem," Mr. Ivanov said.
