WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is weighing the option of extending U.N. weapons inspections in Iraq in an effort to placate European allies and Russia. A decision will be based on whether the inspections are productive, a senior U.S. official said Friday.

The inspectors are due to report to the U.N. Security Council Monday on two months of searches. So far, they have turned up few of the thousands of weapons the administration insists President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) has concealed.


If the inspectors disclose new evidence on Monday, that would influence a decision to keep hunting for illicit weapons of mass destruction, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.


In Vienna, a spokesman for the International Atomic Energy Agency said that director Mohamed elBaradei will give Iraq "quite satisfactory" grades in the report.


France, Germany and Russia all have been urging the inspectors be given more time and have been arguing that any attack on Iraq be deferred.


Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder of Germany said Friday there was "growing support" in Europe for Germany`s opposition to war in Iraq. "I will not give up this basic position," Schroeder said after conferring with Russian President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites) and agreeing the inspectors should have more time.


After briefings on Capitol Hill Thursday from Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Sen. Richard G. Lugar, R-Ind., said he thought inspections would be continued.


Two key lawmakers, meantime, continued to urge Bush to resolve the situation diplomatically.


Sen. Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record) of Nebraska, a top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, warned Friday against a "rush to war in the absence of a strong multilateral coalition." And Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle said "we have yet to see any evidence that Saddam still has weapons of mass destruction."


At the White House, presidential spokesman Ari Fleischer (news - web sites) said President Bush (news - web sites) considers failure of Iraq to make its scientists fully available to U.N. inspectors "unacceptable."


Fleischer said Saddam`s conduct will make "the end of the line come even closer. His refusal is further evidence that Iraq has something to hide."


The presidential spokesman said Saddam "has an obligation to comply" with every provision of last November`s United Nations (news - web sites) resolution that sent weapons inspectors back to Iraq. The resolution included a requirement that Saddam make scientists available for unfettered interviews.


"This is not a matter for negotiation. This is not a matter for debate. Saddam Hussein has no choice," Fleischer said, saying Bush wants Saddam to fully comply "without delay and without debate."


"President Bush believes that Iraq`s refusal to allow Iraqi scientists to submit to private interviews with U.N. inspectors is unacceptable," Fleischer said.


The strong words came as European opposition to an attack on Iraq appeared to be growing — opposition that includes Russia, Germany and France — despite Powell`s offer for a fresh U.N. debate on using force.


Fleischer acknowledged the divisions among European allies.


"The president respects those nations... but Europe is not a monolith. European governments represent many different points of view... The president is confident that, if the call is made, that Europe will answer the call," he said.


Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said Thursday "we deemed there are no serious reasons for war with Iraq." And he said that Moscow would do all it could to promote diplomacy to deal with Iraq.

Bush interceded with Putin, but the Kremlin said Putin told Bush on the telephone that "the main criterion" should be the findings of U.N. weapons inspectors, who are due to report Monday on the results of two months of inspections.

With U.N. inspectors having difficulty talking to Iraqi scientists about suspected weapons programs, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said the administration was providing inspectors with "names of individuals whom we believe it would be productive to interview."

And, Wolfowitz said, the administration was giving them information about sites suspected of containing hidden weapons and helping the inspectors on ways to thwart Iraqi infiltration.

In what was the most extensive description by an administration official of U.S. intelligence support, Wolfowitz also said, "We know from multiple sources that Saddam has ordered that any scientists who cooperate during interviews will be killed, as well as their families."

Also, the Pentagon (news - web sites) official said, "Scientists are being tutored on what to say to the U.N. inspectors and Iraqi intelligence officers are posing as scientists to be interviewed by the inspectors."

But in Baghdad, Lt. Gen. Hossam Mohammed Amin, a senior Iraqi official, said Iraqi scientists had refused to submit to private interviews with U.N. arms inspectors despite government attempts to encourage them to do so under an agreement with the United Nations.

Will meinen, auch die Amis prüfen, ob die Inspektoren mehr Zeit bekommen. Politischer Widerstand in den Staaten wächst auch.

Ich danke dir.
Wie du so eben selber feststellen konntest, geht es auch prägnannter und in deutsch. Nun sind alle auf dem laufenden.

Mir kommt das aus dem Mail Verkehr innerhalb einer Firma bekannt vor. Bei einer längeren Mail wird nur dem Anfang und dem Ende Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Der Kern in der Mitte geht unter. Obwohl man sich viel Mühe gegeben hatte.

Nix für ungut.
