Blair and Bush meet for talks

British Prime Minister Tony Blair, on a visit to the US for talks with President George W Bush, today warned that "the policy of inaction" with regard to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction was "not something we can responsibly adhere to".

Mr Blair, talking to reporters before opening about three hours of talks at President Bush's Camp David retreat in the Maryland mountains, said Saddam was not just developing chemical and biological weapons ``but we know that they were trying to develop nuclear weapons capability''.
