Putin Joins Chorus Demanding Iraq Disarm

President Bush and Russian President Putin issue a joint statement that echoes NATO's earlier demand that Iraq comply with a U.N. Security Council order to disarm. The statement does not indicate what role Russia might play if military force is used in the Persian Gulf. NPR's Don Gonyea reports.

Don Gonyea
You're most likely to find NPR's Don Gonyea on the road, in some battleground state looking for voters to sit with him at the local lunch spot, the VFW or union hall, at a campaign rally, or at their kitchen tables to tell him what's on their minds. Through countless such conversations over the course of the year, he gets a ground-level view of American elections. Gonyea is NPR's National Political Correspondent, a position he has held since 2010. His reports can be heard on all NPR News programs and at NPR.org. To hear his sound-rich stories is akin to riding in the passenger seat of his rental car, traveling through Iowa or South Carolina or Michigan or wherever, right along with him.
