Tony Blair will urge President [sic] George W Bush today to deploy tens
of thousands of troops on Iraq's borders, ready to help United Nations
inspectors to force their way into suspected weapons sites.<br>
<br>
As the Prime Minister prepared to fly to Camp David, Whitehall sources
said he believed that only UN backing for "coercive
inspections" would convince Washington hawks to build an
international coalition rather than go it alone against Iraq.<br>
<br>
The two leaders will also discuss whether the UN Security Council should
deliver a four-week ultimatum for Iraq to admit weapons inspectors after
an absence of four years.<br>
<br>
Mr Blair is expected to urge Mr Bush to promise to "knock heads
together" to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian dispute after the
overthrow of Saddam Hussein.<br>
<br>
The US-British call for tough action will be strengthened by the latest
revelations that Iraq has carried out suspicious new construction at its
nuclear facilities.<br>
<br>
The International Atomic Energy Agency said that commercial satellite
pictures showed the presence of several new buildings at one site, which
it did not identify.<br>
