President George W. Bush warned Wednesday that unless Saddam Hussein accepts a return of UN arms inspectors to Iraq, "we will have to deal with him at the appropriate time."
"I expect Saddam Hussein to let inspectors back into the country," Bush said as the start of a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit at the White House.
"We want to know whether or not he is developing weapons of mass destruction. He claims he is not. Let the world see. If he doesn't, we will have to deal with him at the appropriate time," Bush said.
