Iraq Crisis: Statements (Resumed).

 

With regard to the build-up, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and I have spoken about the need for a credible threat. Senator Maurice Hayes touched on this also. As I said, we are determined to do everything possible to avoid war and have outlined the requirements with which Saddam Hussein must comply. The build-up of army personnel is part of the credible threat. We hope it will suffice and that, combined with the role of the inspectors and the new information they have received, it will lead to an acceptable and peaceful outcome.
