We are forceful. We will take steps at the time and place of our choosing, when they re necessary. Can you explain the difference in the U.S. response in this crisis, as opposed to January, February, March, when U.S. spokespeople, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, said if Iraq doesn t come into compliance with UN resolutions, we will use force. And forces were sent. That s not happening now.
Forces are there.
It s extremely important to understand that. It s no less urgent that he come into compliance. It is extremely important that the United Nations continue to act and to act in concert. We re working to do that. As we did in the prior confrontation, we are going to do everything we can to make diplomacy work.
