United States President George W. Bush yesterday expressed doubt on efforts by United Nations arms inspectors(调查人员)to get detailed information from Iraqi scientists, adding the presence of Iraqi officials as a reason for it. A US official said any interference (干涉、干扰) by Iraq with the interview would be another sign that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was failing to meet UN disarmament(解除武装) demands. “The inspectors are there to decide whether or not he is disarming. You hear these reports about Iraqi scientists being interviewed, but there's an official in the room.” Bush told reporters during a tour of his Texas farm. Bush had been asked whether he was satisfied with the UN inspectors' attempts to interview Iraqi scientists. Bush's answer included broad criticism (批评) of Saddam and a warning that a war was near. “He is a man who likes to play games and jokes.

Bush spoke as more than 11,000 US soldiers prepared to head for the Gulf to join in US preparations for a possible invasion (入侵) of Iraq to force an end to any programmes Saddam has to make nuclear biological or chemical weapons(武器). The news came the same day as warplanes dropped 480,000 leaflets(传单) over two cities in a so called no - fly area of southern Iraq on Thursday, pressing Iraqi army and citizens to listen to US special - forces radio broadcasts to the area, the US armed forces said.
