2-Week Window Frames Bush's Decision on War
(Washington Post) Mike Allen and Karen DeYoung - President Bush plans at least two more weeks of diplomacy before deciding whether to attack Iraq, administration officials said Monday. Officials said the U.S. and Britain are likely to push for an enforcement resolution in the UN Security Council this week. While the administration has consistently maintained that it does not need another Security Council resolution to launch an attack against Iraq, it has so far bowed to the wishes of Britain and Spain, its two main council allies. Dozens of other countries whose support the administration has claimed also have said they would prefer a UN imprimatur on any action.
