"Since many Americans also prefer to have the U.N.'s approval for a war against Iraq, the quest for nine votes has become a political priority for Bush. And so the President worked the phones all week, according to TIME. The White House denied to TIME that the U.S. offered any incentives to indecisive states, but the members weren?t so hesitant.
