Iraq’s Deputy President Taha Yassin Ramadan said today he believed Western air strikes remain a more likely outcome than a peaceful resolution to Baghdad’s repeated crises over U.N. weapons inspections. Ramadan repeated Iraq’s call that the composition of UNSCOM, charged with scrapping Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, should be reviewed. Iraq has frequently accused the UNSCOM inspectors of being dominated by members from the United States and Britain, the two U.N. Security Council countries most hostile to Baghdad.
