Continuing to perseverate in spite of Iraqi compliance, Bush says Congress must authorize force in Iraq Associated Press "I think you're going to see that a lot of nations love freedom. ... We're confident that people will follow our lead," HA WASHINGTON -- President Bush, preparing to send Congress a proposed resolution on Iraq, said today that lawmakers must give him authority to use military force against Saddam Hussein. "That will be part of the resolution -- authorization to use force. If you want to keep the peace, you've got to have the authorization to use force," Bush told reporters in the Oval Office. "This is a chance for Congress to indicate support, a chance for Congress to say we support the administration's ability to keep the peace, that's what this is all about." Bush spoke to journalists after meeting with Secretary of State Colin Powell for an update on his uphill diplomatic work to draft a United Nations Security Council resolution against Iraq that could overcome strong reservations by Russia and France, who have veto power in the Security Council. "The United Nations Security Council must work with the United States and other concerned parties to send a clear message that we excpect Saddam to disarm," Bush said. "And if the United Nations Security Council won't deal with the problem, the United States and some of our friends will." Bush declined to name any of the allies he's counting on for support, saying only that "time will tell." "I think you're going to see that a lot of nations love freedom. ... We're confident that people will follow our lead," Bush added.
