Yeltsin Yeltsin warns Clinton against use of force in Iraq February 4, 1998 Web posted at: 11:52 a.m. EST (1652 GMT)
MOSCOW (CNN) -- Russian President Boris Yeltsin on Wednesday issued the Kremlin's strongest criticism yet of U.S. threats to launch military strikes against Iraq, saying such action could trigger another world war.
"By his actions, (U.S. President Bill) Clinton might run into a world war," a somber Yeltsin said at a televised meeting in the Russian capital.
"He is behaving too loudly on this -- too loudly", Yeltsin said. And he added, "Well, now (some are saying) let us flood it all with planes and bombs. No, frankly speaking, it is not like Clinton at all."
"One must be more careful in this world saturated with allsorts of weapons which are sometimes in terrorists' hands," the Kremlin chief said, occasionally gripping his desktop andgrimacing. "It's all very dangerous."
