The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq or dered Baghdad hospitals to evac uate non-emergency patients Sunday in preparation for a pos sible U.S. air attack over Saddam Hussein’s refusal to comply with U.N. weapons inspections. Thousands of Iraqi civilians, meanwhile, flocked to Saddam’s palaces in Baghdad and industri al installations around the capital to join other people serving as human shields. The United States on Sunday pressed forward with its military buildup, sending the aircraft car rier USS George Washington through the Suez Canal toward the Persian Gulf. Kuwait and Syria, which sup ported strikes against Iraq during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, said they were opposed to the use of force in the current standoff, which began on Oct. 29 when Iraq decided to expel American weapons inspectors working for the United Nations. “We do not support any mili tary action against Iraq,” said Kuwait’s foreign minister, Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah. Kuwait usually is unsparing in its criticism of Iraq, which invad ed the emirate in 1990, triggering the Gulf War. At the end of the 1991 war, the United Nations ordered Iraq to destroy its weapons of mass de struction and sent in a multina tional team of inspectors to moni tor Iraqi compliance. Last month, Iraq asserted that the American inspectors were spies intent on prolonging U.N. economic sanctions imposed af ter the Kuwait invasion. Though the Security Council warned of consequences if Iraq expelled the monitors, Iraq went ahead with the move Thursday, deepening fears of a military strike. Richard Butler, the chief U.N. weapons inspector, warned in an interview with CNN that Iraq could resume building biological weapons within a week. In Baghdad, fuel rationing forced U.N. monitors overseeing an oil-for-food program to halt their work Sunday. The moni tors, who were unable to drive to work, said they expect to send teams out Monday after they se cure fuel supplies. MAH GARTON/Emerald (( Unfortunately for the Iraqi people, instead of meeting these requirements, for six years, Saddam Hussein has lied, delayed, obstructed and tried to deceive. ** Madeleine Albright Secretary of State The tightly monitored program allows Iraq to sell $2 billion in oil for six months in exchange for food and other humanitarian goods. Iraq, fearing the United States might target oil refineries and storage tanks in the event of a military strike, announced Satur day it was introducing gasoline rationing. The government on Sunday or dered non-emergency patients to be removed from hospitals in Baghdad. It was not clear how many people would be evacuat ed. Hassan Abdel Jabar, a doctor at Baghdad Central Hospital, said the hospital would only accept emergency cases “because we are expecting a strike by the Ameri cans.” The United States and Britain, meanwhile, worked to rally sup port for strong action against Sad dam. “He is not a man that is going to listen to any language of rea son or sweetness unless the per son using it is also carrying a big stick,” British Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a BBC televi sion interview. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright cut short a visit to Qatar and left for neighboring Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to dis cuss the standoff. In Qatar, Albright lashed out at Baghdad for refusing to comply with U.N. resolutions demanding the elimination of its weapons of mass destruction. "Unfortunately for the Iraqi people, instead of meeting these requirements, for six years, Sad dam Hussein has lied, delayed, obstructed and tried to deceive,” she said. In Iraq, Foreign Minister Mo hammed Saeed al-Sahhaf called for a peaceful solution to the cri sis. “The use of military force has proven that it does not lead to so lutions, but to a complication of matters,” he said in remarks broadcast on Iraq television and carried by Egypt’s Middle East News Agency. Intent on rallying support for Iraq, Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz planned to begin a tour of North African countries with a trip to Morocco on Sun day. Most Arab states oppose military action against Iraq. “All Arab countries are in soli darity with Iraq,” Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlass told al Hayat, a London-based newspa per. In Jordan, a pro-Iraqi Muslim fundamentalist group urged “sui cide attacks” against Americans in response to threats of a mili tary strike. “The Arab nation must stand up and fight against the coming aggression,” said Hamza Man sour, a spokesman for the Islam ic Action Front. The front made similar calls during the Gulf War, but is not known to have carried out any at tacks.
