President to Accept Only 'Full Disarmament' by Iraq
Bush willing to start war even without passage of a second U.N. resolution. - Glenn Kessler and Colum Lynch.

"President Bush said yesterday he would accept nothing short of "full disarmament" by Iraq and served notice he is willing to go to war even without passage of a second U.N. Security Council resolution offered Monday by the United States, Britain and Spain." "... The administration continued its steady march to war on other fronts, as the Turkish government asked parliament to authorize the deployment of 62,000 U.S. combat troops and 320 warplanes and helicopters in Turkey. U.S. warplanes bombed five missile sites in northern and southern Iraq, including four battlefield rocket launchers. The strikes were the most extensive on a single day since the Security Council passed a resolution in November giving Iraq "a final opportunity" to disarm. "
