Bushs Week of Wins Shapes Senate Hold and UN Rift
President George W. Bush enjoyed a buoyant week as Republicans won control of the Senate and House while the UN Security Council backed a resolution pressing Saddam Hussein to disarm or face military action. Bush pushed Homeland Security measures and named judges as lame duck sessions loomed, with emphasis on Saddam’s removal or the curtailing of his power. The Georgia and South Carolina results reflected Republicans expanding influence countrywide. The UN resolution requires Iraq to comply within seven days for inspections and 30 days to declare programs, with inspectors free to operate anywhere.
