The chiding was part of an ad ministration-wide effort to counter rising opposition to war that could jeopardize Bush’s frag ile anti-Saddam coalition. With tens of thousands of U.S. troops massed near Iraq, the president is expected to decide in a matter of weeks whetherjo end diplomatic efforts and wage war. “Our other options are just about exhausted at this point,” said Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage in a Washington speech cleared by the White House. “This regime has very little time left to undo the legacy of 12 years. There is no sign; there is not one sign that the regime has any intent to comply fully” with the United Nations. France complicated Bush’s task by telling the United Nations Security Council there is no rea son yet for military action, hint ing it may veto any resolution au thorizing an attack. Other nations — including Russia, Germany, China and Chile — have backed the French contention that U.N. inspections are starting to work and Iraq can be disarmed peace fully. Britain, America’s closest ally, is the only major military power committed to joining the United States. Other countries with smaller armies, such as Australia, Canada and Bulgaria, could play supporting roles in a coalition of the willing. The Bush administration says Iraq is hiding weapons of mass de struction beneath the desert and in mobile facilities. Though no proof has been made public, Armitage said the 16 empty chem ical warheads discovered recent ly in Iraq are the tip of the iceberg. “Where are the other 29,984? Because that’s how many empty I chemical warheads the U.N. Special Commission estimated he had, and he’s never accounted for,” Armitage said. “Some people may say there is no smoking gun, but there’s noth ing but smoke,” the diplomat said. “To put this fire out, Saddam is go ing to have to work.” White House officials said Armitage’s argument previewed the case Bush will make against Saddam in next week’s State of the Union address. They said Bush won’t declare war or impose a deadline next Tuesday night, and they played down the prospects of new evidence being revealed. In addition to Armitage’s speech, the White House released a 29-page report entitled “Apparatus of Lies” that purports to document Iraq’s “brutal record of deceit.” It accuses Saddam of en riching himself at the expense of his people, using the bodies of dead babies for staging funeral processions and exploiting Islam. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz plans to deliver an anti Iraq speech Thursday to further build the case against Saddam.
