In a media blitz to rally support for toughened action against Iraq, the Bush administration charged Sunday that Baghdad's intensifying efforts to develop a nuclear weapon increase the urgency of ousting the regime of President Saddam Hussein.
Iraq is \actively and aggressively"" working on a nuclear bomb, with the growing potential for the United States to become a victim of Baghdad's weapons of mass destruction, said Vice President Dick Cheney, one of five top officials who appeared on Sunday television talk shows to press the U.S. case for strong action on Iraq. ""How long are we going to wait to deal with what is clearly a gathering threat against the United States?"" National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said on CNN's ""Late Edition.""
