US hawks press Bush to go to war, UN or not By Roland Watson in Washington, Richard Beeston and Philip Webster March 13, 2003 PRESIDENT BUSH is facing increasing pressure from hawks to cut his losses at the United Nations and strike Iraq without further delay. The injudicious comments by Donald Rumsfeld, the US Defence Secretary, that the United States could go to war without Britain has prompted Americans sceptical of the UN to wonder aloud why Mr Bush is prolonging the waiting game. “My guess is that the Administration will stay with it as long as there’s a reasonable chance of getting the necessary votes,” Richard Perle, a Pentagon adviser and unofficial leader of the Washington hawks, told The Times. “But the more people ask themselves: ‘Why are we going through this to persuade the unpersuadable?’ — the more difficult it becomes to give a serious answer.” Others are more outspoken. “Walk away, Mr President. Walk away from the UN Security Council,” wrote Charles Krauthammer, a Washington Post columnist who reflects the views of the Republican Right. “It will not authorise the coming war. You can stand on your head and it won’t change the outcome. You can convert to Islam in a Parisian mosque and it won’t prevent a French veto.” timesonline.co.uk
