Iraqi soldiers face 'consequences'

ST. LOUIS — President Bush said yesterday that U.N. weapons inspectors have failed to live up to their job title and vowed, "when Iraq is liberated," to punish Iraqi soldiers who use weapons of mass destruction

Saddam Hussein has "asked for more time so he can give the so-called inspectors more runaround," Mr. Bush said in a marked escalation of rhetoric against Baghdad.
     "He wants to play a game," he added in a speech to small-business owners and employees of a shipping firm in St. Louis. "For the sake of peace, we must not let him play a game."
