Diplomats seek loosening of Iraq standoff with aid push
Washington officials urged diplomacy to resolve the Iraq weapons inspections clash with Saddam Hussein. U.N.

They warned the U.S. force in the Gulf remains as long as needed, with no artificial deadlines. Annan noted progress despite palace access hurdles, as inspectors seek access to sites suspected of storing illegal materials.
