DATE=3/6/03 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=DEMOCRATS / IRAQ (S-O) NUMBER=2-300408 BYLINE=DAN ROBINSON DATELINE=CAPITOL HILL CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: Opposition Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate have renewed their concerns about U-S-led military action against Iraq. This report from V-O-A's Dan Robinson on Capitol Hill: TEXT: Senate minority leader Tom Daschle says an attack on Iraq at this time would be premature: /// DASCHLE ACT /// In our view they are rushing to war, without adequate concern for the ramifications of doing so unilaterally. /// END ACT /// Senator Daschle says he is concerned about what he calls an "extraordinary disintegration of international support" for the U-S position. His comments were echoed by House Democratic minority leader Nancy Pelosi: /// PELOSI ACT /// We all agree that Saddam Hussein acts outside the circle of civilized human behavior, that he must be stopped, that he must be disarmed, but the question remains is going to war not the best way to do that. /// END ACT /// Congress voted overwhelmingly last October to give President Bush authorization to take military action.
