The proposal calls for up to 250-thousand troops to attack Iraq by land, sea and air.
That's IF Iraq rejects a U-N resolution to disarm.
In a television interview, former U-N weapons inspector Richard Butler said he doubts Iraq will fully comply... leaving the U-N Security Council split over whether to take military action.

Police say the man tried to run from the wreckage, ignored officers' orders to get down on the ground, and was shot as a result.

While the car was stopped and the woman was being arrested, police say the man got into the driver's seat and took off, leading them on the 20-mile chase.
