2002-09-30 04:00:00 PDT Washington -- With Congress nearing a vote on a resolution authorizing war against Iraq, a North Bay congressman visiting Baghdad says he has delivered a blunt message -- U.N. weapons inspectors must be given unfettered access or President Bush will carry out his threatened invasion.
But Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, one of three Democratic House members who are on a five-day mission to Baghdad and the southern Iraqi city of Basra, also said by telephone that Bush should give U.N. inspectors a chance to find and destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction before invading Iraq.
Lawmakers and White House negotiators are still talking about how a resolution will be worded, with Democrats trying to limit the president's power solely to acting against Iraq, rather than a more open-ended authorization. Congressional leaders said Sunday that a vote could come as soon as this week.
"We're still working on language that can bring the largest number of Democrats and Republicans, House and Senate, together," Senate Minority Leader Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., said on "Face the Nation" on CBS.
While all three members who are visiting Iraq have questions about whether they would vote for a congressional resolution authorizing military action, Reps. David Bonior, D-Mich., and James McDermott, D-Wash., sounded more dovish notes than Thompson when they appeared on TV on Sunday.
