country, as well as to the government, that we are demanding compliance and

that we are willing to enforce the resolutions of the U.N Security council.” Iraq’s

repeated violation of U.N terms includes failure to remove missile sites from

threatening locations and to desist from violating the no-fly zone below the 32nd

Parallel.
