President Saddam Hussein's son, Uday Saddam Hussein, has been seen on television here. He had some harsh words for the United States. He said that he believed that at the end of all this the United States would just end up at the negotiating table with Iraq. That, he said, because the United States respects strength and he said that Iraq is the most stable regime in the region at this time. And he went on to say that the United States should consider carefully what it's going to do. Now these words came at a time when Iraqi officials are saying they have still not been able to convince Iraqi scientists to sit down and hold private meetings with U.N. inspectors. They say that the Iraqi scientists want Iraqi officials present. This issue has been very important to the U.N. inspectors, who believe that from those private interviews, they may get substantial information about Iraq's possible weapons of mass destruction production.
