U.S. and Britain Drafting Resolution for Iraq Deadline
Gives about 2 month deadline, other permanent members not aboard.
"On a day when politics and a sense of war fever seemed to boil over in Washington, a senior administration official familiar with the drafting process said, "I personally don't think weapons inspectors will ever return to Iraq."

He said in an interview that "the president is not going to worry about the Security Council" because he will have all the authorization he needs from Congress.

"Once Congress acts, that's the final — that's all that has to happen in our system," the official said."

So the administration thinks if Congress approves the resolution it can bypass the UN?
