The Federal Opposition's foreign affairs spokesman has warned against judging Iraq's disclosure of its weapons programs before the 12,000 page document is analysed.

Iraq says details of its former nuclear, chemical and biological programs are now on their way to the United Nations headquarters in New York.

But United States President George Bush says he will pursue efforts to end Saddam Hussein's accumulation of weapons of mass destruction.

Labor's foreign affairs spokesman, Kevin Rudd, says the United States should allow the documents to be assessed first.

"It needs to be studied carefully, cautiously and systematically before a judgement is taken," he said.

"Therefore we cannot be, we can not afford to have any rush to judgement either by the United States by Australia or any other western government.

"Let's look at the evidence, let's make an assessment then," he said.

But White House spokesman Ari Fleisher says Saddam can't be trusted, so all Iraq's efforts to evade an invasion by compliance, are futile.

We'll bomb them anyway....
