Articles should be original analyses on any T" v. T1 IN unacceptable risks," he said. The news conference was part of an intensifying campaign to prepare Americans for the possibility of a war that could be just days away. Military leaders say U.S. forces arc now ready to strike Iraq. Bush shrugged off the protests of millions worldwide and chided critics who want to give for U.N. weapons inspectors more time to do their work. "A little bit more time? Saddam Hussein has had 12 years to disarm," he said. Dramatically raising his right hand, the president said that he had swore to defend the Constitution and protect America's security. "That's exactly what I am going to do," he said. Bush promised not to lead the war into another WASHINGTON Edging toward war, President Hush called on skeptical allies Thursday night to stand ready to use force against Iraq but said the United States was prepared to act on its own. "Wc really don't need anybody's permission," Bush said. In a prime-tim- e news conference, he said a critical Security Council vote on a resolution authorizing war was just "days away" and said he would push for a vote on the measure even if it appeared destined to fail. "It's time for people to show their cards and let people know where they stand," the president said. In measured tones. Hush answered questions for about 30 minutes after a opening statement that called Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's claims of disarmament a "willful charade." He said Saddam has ordered production of illicit missiles even as he destroys others, accused Iraqi officials and chemical agents of shuttling biological between secret locations and said Iraqi scientists are required to wear concealed recording devices while being interviewed by U.N. inspectors. He pointedly challenged France, Germany and other skeptical allies to stand with him. "If the world fails to confront the threat posed by the Iraqi regime, refusing to use force even as a last resort, free nations would assume immense and Vietnam-lik- e quagmire. "Our mission is clear in Iraq," the president. "Should we have to go in, our mission is very clear: disarmament. In order to disarm, it will mean regime change. I'm confident that we'll be able to achieve that objective in a way that minimizes the loss of life." The president's news conference came on the eve of a crucial Security Council meeting. On Friday, chief weapons inspector Hans Blix and his counterpart, Mohamed ElBaradei, will report on Iraq's measure of cooperation in eliminating its banned weapons. Their assessment could weigh heavily in determining the outcome of the Security Council's vote on a resolution to authorize force. With 230,000 U.S. troops poised outside Iraq, the president said only Saddam can ensure peace. "It's his choice to make whether or not wc go to war. He's the person that can make the choice of war or peace. Thus far he's made the wrong choice." Before the news conference. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin talked about the U.N. resolution, White House aides said. They agreed to continue discussions. Intensifying his case against Saddam, Bush is considering a major address next week to explain the justification and risks of military conflict, aides said. The speech could include a final warning to Saddam while urging journalists and humanitarian workers to leave Iraq, they said. But officials said the president is not inclined to deadline for Iraq's disarmaset an eleventh-hou- r ment, fearing Saddam would use the grace period to further divide U.S. allies. They did not rule out the United States backing a British proposal that would give the Iraqi leader a few more days to disarm. But aides acknowledged that the British proposal was unlikely to be a galvanizing force. UNITED STATES UTAH Agents Kill Two Legislature Kills Powell Hurts His Wolves on Border State Term Limits Moderate Stance SALT LAKE SALT LAKE CITY-Fed- eral agents from Salt Lake City have killed two wolves that attacked two sheep in Wyoming near the Utah border. Mike Bodenchuk, director of the Utah office of Wildlife Services, predator-contro- l shot the wolves Tuesday evening about one mile into Wyoming and about 17 miles southeast of Bear Lake.

Anticipating the Legislature's action, term-limiproponents announced earlier that they would mount an initiative campaign for a ts s more restrictive law than the one being repealed. The Legislature's action was completed when the House voted 4 to send the measure to Gov. Mike Leavitt, who is expected to sign it. His spokeswoman, Natalie Gochnour, said earlier that Leavitt had no strong feelings about the bill. term-limit- Mike Jimenez, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wolf coordinator lor Wyoming, said the wolves, both males, were probably yearlings from a pack in Grand Teton National Park. Utah conservationists condemned the decision to destroy the wolves. 40-3- UNIVERSITY WEATHER 5139 FRIDAY: Did You Know...

Failure would confirm the view of Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld that turning to the United Nations would only produce a stalemate and delay disarming Iraq. Powell prevailed in his advice to President Bush, although the president questioned U.N. relevance as he kicked off the diplomatic campaign in a speech last September. Innocent Teenager TAMPA, Fla. A man upset that his son was being bullied fired several shots into a crowd of teenagers, killing a bystander who had hoped to play with the other boy, police said. Jabbar Anthony died Wednesday night after being shot in the chest. Witnesses said he collapsed across the street from his home and was held by his grieving mother as he gasped for air. He died at a hospital. Tyron Williams, 46, was charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child and was being held without bail. "It had to be an accident," said his uncle, Excell Williams. Jabbar and his younger brother, Shabazz, had played with Williams' son, Tyron, earlier Wednesday. They walked the few blocks to their friend's house to play some more, but some other boys had gathered outside. The senior Williams told everyone to leave, but some of the other boys stared at him, witnesses said. When they walked off, Williams jumped in his car and sped after them.

Radio Luxembourg in the the Daily ThK l.MVUtSII'Y NEW YORK Secretary of State Colin Powell's insistence on traditional diplomacy to disarm Iraq has run into a stonewall in the United Nations, dealing a blow to his moderate approach within the hard-lin- e Bush administration. With the U.N. Security Council due to take up a resolution next week to authorize force against Iraq, Powell was trying anew Thursday to convince skeptical governments that only such a step, not more inspections, would do the Upset Father Kills The first advertiser on Courtesy Jason Shafer, www.met.utah.educampusfoiecast CAMPUS EVENTS ...we plan on holding candidates to everything they say. RUSSELL GERRARD, PROGRESSION PARTY UNITED NATIONS-- As opposition hardened against a war with Iraq, Britain offered Thursday to compromise on a resolution by giving Saddam Hussein a short deadline to prove he has eliminated all U.S.-back- ed banned weapons or face an attack. With some 300,000 U.S. troops massing for battle, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw made clear that any compromise must still include an authorization for military action. But Straw's demand, made a day before a crucial Security Council meeting, was unlikely to be acceptable to key council powers that favor more weapons inspections to disarm Iraq peacefully. President Bush, in an effort to counter stiff opposition to his plans for disarming Iraq, accused Saddam of trying to deceive U.N. weapons inspectors and said he must be held accountable by America's allies. The president has said he is willing to wage war even without new U.N. authorization though he would prefer to have it. ALGIERS, Algeria An Air Algcrie passenger jet, one of its engines ablaze, crashed shortly after takeoff deep in the Sahara Desert on Thursday, and 102 people were killed, officials said. A young soldier survived. The Boeing 737, flight 6289, crashed after taking off from Tamanrassct bound for the Algerian capital, Algiers, j.ooo miles to the north. Terrorism was not suspected, said an airline spokesman, Hamid Hamdi. "There was a mechanical problem on takeoff," he said. "There is no clement that leads us to think there was a terrorist attack." Witnesses at the Tamanrassct airport and airline officials said one of the plane's two jet engines caught fire as it was taking off. APS, Algeria's official state-runews agency, and airline officials at the scene said 102 had been killed. But an official at the airline's office in Algiers told The Associated Press that he couldn't immediately confirm the number of deaths. n p.m.: Women's Festival, films about women, war, and work.
