French President Jacques Chirac said Monday that the world must put "strong pressure" on Iraq and force it to disarm through peaceful means.
Chirac, speaking before parliament during his three-day visit to Algeria, said the U.N. weapons inspectors probing the country for weapons of mass destruction should have "the time necessary to make their mission a success."
"But Iraq must cooperate more, more actively," he said, according to AP. "Together and in peace, we must keep strong pressure on it to attain the objective we have set: the elimination of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq." (Albawaba.com)
