ADVISORY/Experts Available To Discuss Iraq's Pledge To Dismantle Missiles.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2003 TOPIC: Iraq announced Friday that it would dismantle its al-Samoud 2 ballistic missiles on Saturday, according to an article by Reuters. France, who opposes an invasion of Iraq, said the move proves the U.N. arms inspections are producing results. However, the United States, Britain and Spain dismissed Iraq's pledge and claimed Iraq is merely playing games, the article says. Iraq's decision seems to have increased the rift in the U.N. Security Council between those who support invading Iraq, including the United States, Britain and Spain, and those who oppose an invasion and want to continue weapons inspections, which includes Russia, China, France and Germany.
