Deadline CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 conditional disarmament” of Iraq. France, Germany and Russia have opposed an addi tional United Nations resolution to set an ultimatum for the Iraqi leader to disarm - and the French have threatened to veto it. Efforts to win the votes of un committed nations at the U.N. Security Council have faltered in recent days. For his part, Saddam made clear he would resist. “When the enemy starts a large-scale battle, he must realize that the battle between us will be open wher ever there is sky, land and wa ter in the entire world,” the Iraqi leader told his military com manders in remarks carried by the official Iraqi news agency. And Hans Blix, the chief United Nations weapons inspec tor, said inspections would con tinue on Monday, as planned, “unless we call them back.” Bush and the leaders of the three allied nations met at an American air base in the Azores, Portuguese territory in the Atlantic Ocean. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar said the agreement among the leaders marked “a last chance, one last attempt to reach the greatest possible con sensus among ourselves.” Bush sounded as if he didn’t expect reluctant countries to change their nlinds. Asked whether Monday was the day that would determine whether diplomacy could work, he replied, “That’s what I’m say ing.” “We hope tomorrow the U.N. will do its job,” Bush said. Alternatively, he said, “Saddam Hussein can leave the country if he’s interested in peace.” One administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the diplomatic process would end on Monday, regardless of whether a U.N. res olution passed, failed or was withdrawn. The president was scornful of France’s role in the diplomatic tug of war that has unfolded in recent months. I ^ Mousing Sign Up CamivaC!
