Since the two bomb attacks against us, we have had to rethink our own approach and our own presence and that will be a factor in our decision to increase our staff in Iraq," Annan said. He added that many aspects needed to be worked out "to see exactly what kind of security, what arrangements, who is going to do what and what we will do ourselves."


The U.N. Security Council and the United States want him to send in political officers to help Iraqi leaders write a constitution and organize elections.


But, in his first reaction to the report, Annan said he needed more time to study the investigation and sidestepped questions on whether he or other top officials would accept blame for the security failures.


"Obviously, that is one issue -- of accountability, what happened, who did what or did not do what," he said.
