((President Bush went on the offensive, stating his case for an attack on Iraq before a full house of United Nation's delegates.
President Bush
"The just demands of peace and security will be met or action will be
unavoidable."
Bush laid out 16 reasons why war may be the only way to protect America, citing Saddam Husseins repeated violations of UN security resolutions.
Bush argued, unless the Iraqi regime is toppled, the world remains
threatened by weapons of mass destruction.
President Bush
"To assume this regime's good faith is to bet the lives of millions and
the peace of the world in a reckless gamble."
Bush stressed the importance of swift, decisive action. He told the UN that deliberations must be more than talk...resolutions more than wishes or there will be consequences.
President Bush
"Delegates of the UN, you have the power to make that stand as well."
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are divided on the best course of action - an indication a 'battle in congress' may come first.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle/(D) South Dakota
"I don't think that the case for a pre-emptive attack has been made
conclusively yet."
SEN. TRENT LOTT/(R) MISSISSIPPI
"We need to show the american people are united in support of this
president, and congress needs to act.

MILITARY EXPERTS AGREE THE UNITED STATES WOULD CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO OVERTHOW SADDAM HUSSIEN, BUT THERE COULD BE CONSEQUENCES.

Less than one day later- a call came in that led authorities to the family of Ike Imhauser of Lincoln County, North Carolina.
Now the investigation continues.
The tipster told police he'd seen the man at a knife and gun show in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
What they don't know yet is: How did the 63- year old man end up dead at a "Parkway overlook" in Roanoke County?

The stores serve residential and commercial customers and Rakes says sales have been hit hard on both sides.
Because of water restrictions, lawns can't be watered and aren't growing ... so fewer customers are buying equipment or need parts and repairs done.
By closing both stores, 15-employees are losing their jobs.
Rakes say the entire lawn industry, including landscapers are seeing the effects of the extended drought.
We're going to take a closer look at that on News 7 at 6 ... Jean?
