Powell: All Options 'Open' Regarding UN Iraq Vote -MSNBC 13 Mar 12:11 (MORE) Dow Jones Newswires 03-13-03 1211ET ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Powell: All Options 'Open' Regarding UN Iraq Vote -MSNBC -2 13 Mar 12:41 NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Marking a stunning reversal in position by the Bush administration, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday that all options remained "open" on holding a U.N. vote on Iraq - including not taking a vote at all - according to a report from television network MSNBC.

Earlier Thursday, in another sharp shift in position, the White House signaled President George W. Bush was open to delaying a vote on the second resolution until next week, if the postponement would help gain support for the measure. Washington had been seeking a Monday deadline for Iraq to disarm. -By Leah Goodman, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-4370; Leah.Goodman@dowjones.com (END) Dow Jones Newswires 03-13-03 1256ET
