Bush 'sick and tired' of Iraqi deceptions

US PRESIDENT George Bush yesterday said he was sick and tired of Iraq's deception over suspected weapons of mass destruction and time was running out for it to comply with UN demands to disarm.

He signalled growing impatience as UN inspections yield little evidence to support US charges that Iraq has chemical and biological arms and is trying to build a nuclear weapon.

"I haven't seen any evidence that he has disarmed. Time is running out on Saddam Hussein. He must disarm. I'm sick and tired of games and deception. That's my view of the timetable," Bush said.
