Powell implores UN to disarm Hussein

By Abdullah AlShihri and Barry Schweid · Tuesday, Jan. 21,2003 4:44 p.m.

UNITED NATIONS -- Secretary of State Colin Powell implored other nations Monday to face up to Saddam Hussein, saying the world body "must not shrink" from its responsibility to disarm Iraq. "We cannot be shocked into impotence because we're afraid of the difficult choices ahead of us," Powell told members of the United Nations Security Council. Powell, who faced a new burst of skepticism in talks with other leaders earlier Monday, was urging reluctant nations to focus on Baghdad's failure to disarm and to prepare to weigh the consequences by the end of the month. The secretary said the U.N. must come to grips with a regime that he said has acquired, developed and stocked weapons of mass destruction and trampled human rights at home.
