Iraqi offer for dialogue with UN draws chilly response
Secretary of State Colin Powell rejected an Iraqi proposal via the Arab League for talks with the United Nations, insisting any discussion be on U.S. terms. Amid the friction, Arab League head Amr Mousa told U.N. chief Kofi Annan Baghdad was willing to talk without conditions, while Annan said he would welcome a delegation. Powell defended the 25.3 billion dollar U.S. international affairs budget and pressed Saddam to admit inspectors, as Russia clings to business ties but shows openness to new sanctions. He also moved toward a framework with Russia for deeper cuts in nuclear arsenals.
