                    [Summary] => Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople said yesterday that war in Iraq would likely break out "in a matter of days, not weeks," soon after United Nations weapons inspectors submit their report to the UN Security Council on March 15.


Ople said New Zealand Foreign Minister Phil Goff shared his view during bilateral talks in Wellington. The two officials agreed that the best the world could hope for is a "swift and decisive war" with casualties kept to a minimum.
