Perhaps you can answer a question or two. Pres Bush says that he doesn't want his hands tied on this Congressional Resolution wrt: Iraq. He wants to have a "strong resolution" like Congress did in 1998. The Congressional res in 1998, prohibited the use of military force for a regime change in Iraq. Is that what Pres Bush wants? washingtonpost.com The first [resolution], which was limited to Iraqi violation of U.N. disarmament demands, urged the president to take unspecified "appropriate action," in accordance with U.S. law, "to bring Iraq into compliance with its international obligations" on such weapons. The later Iraq Liberation Act, which authorized U.S. support for Iraqi opposition forces trying to overthrow Hussein, referred to the entire range of U.N. resolutions. It specifically ruled out U.S. military action for such regime change. Second question....who was running the House and Senate in 1998 that put out this tough resolution? TIA, jttmab
