Rival Resolution
President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair now have competition, as France, Germany and Russia offered their own proposal for what to do about Iraq. The two factions now begin lobbying the other members of the U.N. Security Council to sway their vote. The outcome will depend heavily on the March 7 report from chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix, as well as any further concessions by Saddam Hussein, or lack thereof.

Hussein, in an interview with CBS' Dan Rather, has also challenged President Bush to a live televised debate, which the White House scoffs at.



Meanwhile, the U.S. and Turkey continue last-minute negotiations over use of Turkish military bases for a northern invasion of Iraq.

Which do you think is more crucial to a U.S.-led attack -- the verbal approval of the wider international community, or the more substantive military support of Turkey?
