Action against Iraq inconceivable after UN report: Fernandes Press Trust of India Bangalore, February 15 Defence Minister George Fernandes on Saturday said it would be "inconceivable" that US should take any action against Iraq after the UN inspectors have found no weapons of mass destruction there and reaffirmed India's position that the issue must be resolved amicably. Fernandes also made it clear that India could not support the United States on its present position on the Iraq issue and it could not be part of "anything where the United Nations is not involved". "It would be inconceivable that US should take any action after what has been submitted to the UN Security Council yesterday by all those who were concerned with the search and also by the stand that has been taken by the members of the Security Council like France, Germany, Russia and China and other countries that have been associated with this opposition (to war)", Fernandes told PTI in New Delhi. He said it was not "opposition for opposition's sake" because it has now been finally confirmed. "It is an obvious situation where Iraq has been found to be without any weapons of mass destruction". Asked if the United States had sought India's support on the Iraq issue, he shot back, "India cannot support. How can India support". India, he said, had consistently said that the matter had to be resolved amicably and "it can be resolved amicably". Forwarded for your information.
