Bush Under Pressure Over Iraqi Elections, WMD

[CatWoman]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) was under pressure on two fronts on Monday as calls grew in Iraq (news - web sites) for early elections while at home his pre-war assertion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction faced mounting criticism.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) was expected to announce imminently whether he will send a team to Iraq to explore the feasibility of early elections to replace an unpopular U.S. plan to choose a government through regional caucuses. U.N. security experts are already in Iraq assessing the situation.


Violence continued unabated in Iraq where guerrillas fired a rocket at the Baghdad compound where the U.S.-led administration is based, but there were no casualties.


The White House pledged to review the intelligence that was used to justify the war that toppled Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) last April after the top U.S. weapons hunter concluded Iraq had no stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons.


In an embarrassment for Bush, former chief U.S. weapons hunter David Kay concluded Iraq did not have stockpiles of banned weapons as Bush had said in declaring that the country was a grave and gathering danger.
