This is a real massive quantity of explosives that could have reached the hands of insurgents and could be used with deadly force and consequences against people in Iraq, |
This should (in) no way be seen as an endorsement. |
This will certainly give him more leverage and credibility. It will be much harder to refuse to listen. |
To put inspectors in place they have to know where they will be and what they will be observing. |
We are awaiting the green light from the U.N. Security Council to tell us what are the next steps, |
We are ready to go back immediately. We have been ready for the past four years. We are looking for co-operation in all respects -- unconditional and unrestricted -- for our inspectors. |
We continue to seek clarifications. This could take a few days. |
We decided to focus on countries that have a big nuclear program. |
We have accepted this invitation to go to Baghdad with the clear expectation of action that needs to be taken by Iraq prior to the visit. |
We have expressed clearly to the North Koreans that we expect there will be monitoring of their nuclear activities, and we hope that they will reconsider. |
We regret that they left. But we've kept an open office. We're storing our equipment there, leaving open the eventual possibility that our inspectors could return. |
We'll request immediate clarification. We have an emergency system in place if something happened. |
We're going to scour through this document word for word, and we're going to check it against declarations we've received in the past, |
We're not in the position at all to make any kinds of judgment on this document -- truth or no truth. We're in a good position to be able to assess the document in due time against vast amounts of information we have and against what our inspectors can go out and look for on the ground. |
We've answered that request by saying it would take us more than a week to put our surveillance equipment in place, asked them to refrain from removing any of the seals that would enable us to make sure the equipment hasn't been touched. |
