President Geo~e W. Bush spoke of the United Nations in conciliatory terms Monday, insisting that the negotiations were still moving forward. "We are working with all the parties to get a resolution done," he said. "Anything we do must make it very clear that Saddam must disarm. or there will be co~equences." . ,,' ,_ , However, Bush' said; "Thème of the military is my last choice, is my last desite. " " As part oftheir effottto explore all options , short of war, senior administration officials said that they were trying to foment an uprising in Iraq, a strategy they bad dismissed as recently as , last spring.

The steps were being taken as diplomats at the United Nations reported that more, than ~ month of top-level diplomacy had so far failed to bring , the major powers on the Security Council closer together on the~ough resolution favored by the United States and Britain.

Several permanent council members do not agree with Washington's proposals for security guards from other countries for the inspectors and for the council members to attach their own 'experts to the UN weapons teains. ' Pressure is mounting for the United States to come forward officially with the resolution it drafted with Britain. The nations that do not hold seats on the 15- member Security Council have pushed the counciito hold an open debate on Iraq; this is scheduled to begin on Wednesday. Hans Blix, the head ~fthe lIN weapons inspections team, has said he ho~es to get to work in Iraq as close as possible to ah Oct.19 date that Baghdad offered for the advance team to arrive. Meanwhile, American officials say they are exploring options short ofwar. One official who was inv6lved in drafting Bush's speech a week , ago in Cincinnati said that an appeal to Iraq's generals not to use chemical or biological weapons had been inserted "quite deliberately." The president's remarks' followed a suggestion from Bush's press secretary, Ari Fleischer, that "a single bullet" could be a quick way for the Iraqi people to avoid a major conflict with the United States and its allies. The shift toward encouraging a coup contrasts with statements last spring, when officials were openly dismissive of any hope of prompting a rebellion within Iraq, noting that it had' been tried unsuccessfully at least six times in thel990s~ Now, their tone has changed as the administration pursues what it says is an effort to exhaust all options short of war. weapons inspectors in Iraq and an authorization to use force should the Iraqis refuse to disarm.

By Brian Knowlton InternatioDal Herald 1Hbune . WASHINGTON: As an open debate on Iraq was starting Wednesday in the United Nations, Secretary-General Kofi Annan for the fU'Sttime publicly backed passage of a new Security Council resolution to toughen the UN weapons inspectors' mandate, warning Baghdad that it had a "last chance" to comply. If Iraq failed to comply, Annan said in a statement read by a deputy, the Security Council would "have to face its responsibilities." The statement came at the start of a two-day open meeting of the Security Council at which sco~ of members without seats on the Security Council had asked to speak, many in opposition to the U.S. lJne on Iraq. The secretary-general did not say, as . President George W. Bush bas demanded, that a single resolution should both layout the new mandate and authorize war if Iraq imped.ed inspections. "He's not sanctioning a trigger option," said a UN spokesman in New York. But Wednesday's statement was Annan's most explicit public call for a new resolution, rather than for the resumption of the inspectors' work under the . authority of past ~olutions. The inspectors left Iraq in 1998 amid complaints of interference with their work and charges from Baghdad that some oftheinspectors were.smng. . . Whatewrlanguage emerge
