WASHINGTON, Dec 2 Kyodo

U President George W Bush onward Monday warned Iraqi President Saddam Hussein that he must provide a ''credible and complete'' list of his weapons of mass destruction by way of Sunday as demanded by the United Nations.

''On or before the eighth of December, Iraq must provide a abounding and accurate declaration of its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs,'' Bush said in a language before signing the defense appropriation bill at the Pentagon.

''That declaration must be credible and ended or the Iraq dictator will have demonstrated to the world one time again that he has chosen not to change his behavior,'' he said.

The Dec 8 deadline was imposed in the Nov. 8 Security Council resolution that demanded Iraq give UN weapons inspectors unimpeded access to banned weapons sites and gave Iraq single in kind month to come up with a list of weapons of mass destruction or otherwise face the prospect of a U military attack.

Bush voiced dissatisfaction with Iraq's cooperation with UN weapons inspection, citing Iraq's firing forward U.S. and British aircraft patrolling ''no-fly'' regions over northern and southern Iraq.

''So far the signs are not encouraging,'' he said.

The UN resum weapons inspections in Iraq last Wednesday after a four-year break.

While stressing the use of force is the last option, Bush reiterated that the United States will lead a coalition to topple the Saddam sway if Saddam fails to abandon weapons of mass destruction.
