WASHINGTON (AP) -- After the first week of weapons inspections in Iraq, President Bush remains skeptical that Saddam Hussein will comply with international disarmament demands and avert war, the White House spokesman said Monday.

Both the president and Vice President Dick Cheney were making high-profile speeches Monday afternoon -- Bush at the Pentagon and Cheney to the Colorado National Guard -- to press the United States' case against Iraq in advance of the Dec. 8 deadline for Saddam to disclose his weapons programs.

On that day, the United States will be looking for "a full and accurate, complete and credible list of his weapons," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. "Anything less will not be tolerated."

"The president will make clear that the burden of compliance rests with Saddam Hussein," Flesicher said.

He said the Dec. 8 deadline "begins a process" under which inspectors will determine whether the Iraqi disclosure is accurate. He said Bush will not review the Iraqi disclosure himself.

The one-two press by Bush and Cheney comes one week into the United Nations weapons inspections underway in Iraq.

Fleischer said Bush is not yet making any judgments on whether those inspections will be successful in disarming Saddam peacefully. Should the inspections route fail, Bush has vowed that the United States will lead allies into war to rid Iraq of any weapons of mass destruction.

"The president is skeptical that Saddam Hussein will comply and it's too soon to say. One week is not adequate time," Fleischer said.
