US lawmakers demand Bush ask Congress before invading Iran
Jan 18 1:33 PM US/Eastern

A resolution introduced in the US House of Representatives calls on President George W. Bush to obtain approval from Congress before using military force against Iran.
The bill, introduced by longtime Iraq war critic Walter Jones, a Republican, and five other US lawmakers calls on the president obtain authorization for an attack on Iran, unless the United States or US interests are attacked first.

Supporters said the legislation would prevent the United States from becoming embroiled in another intractable war like the one raging in Iraq.

"Congress will not stand by idly -- it won't be railroaded into another war that will only make America and the world less safe," Democratic Representative Martin Meehan said at a press conference Thursday.

He said recent administration statements and military maneuvers point to an imminent attack on Iran.

"The indications of the initial saber-rattling are everywhere," Meehan said.

"I'm not here to tell you that I trust Iran, but I am here to say that I don't trust the administration," Meehan said.
