Congress Now Promises to Hold Weeks of Hearings About Iraq nytimes.com One more story on W's too clever squeeze play. Congressional leaders said today that they would undertake weeks of hearings and debate on whether to support military action against Iraq, a move that could delay a final vote until after the November elections. "I'm more concerned about getting this done right than getting it done quickly," said Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota, the Democratic majority leader, a day after President Bush agreed to seek congressional approval before any invasion. Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi, the Republican minority leader, also made it clear that he did not favor forcing a quick vote, although on Wednesday Congressional and administration leaders had predicted that the debate could be concluded by early October. . . . Mr. Lott, the Republican leader, said that Congress might also need to give the United Nations time to deliberate the issue. A final vote in Congress may not come until this fall or even next year, he said. "It could take a little more time than just two or three weeks," Mr. Lott told reporters this morning. "So we just have to see. I don't think we should put a time line on it. I think we should do what is necessary when it is necessary."
