"Democrats waiting for the U.N. to act?" Bush asked with chuckle. "I can't imagine an elected ... member of the United States Senate or House of Representatives saying 'I think I'm going to wait for the United Nations to make a decision'."
Bush added, "It seems like to me that if you're representing the United States you ought to be making a decision on what's best for the United States."

Bush Doubts Iraq Will Meet Deadline
By BARRY SCHWEID ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS- President Bush said Friday he expects the United Nations to act as soon as possible on a resolution to set a firm deadline for Iraq to disarm its weapons and he mocked Democrats and other lawmakers who want U.N. action before a congressional vote.
"Democrats waiting for the U.N. to act?" Bush asked with chuckle. "I can't imagine an elected ... member of the United States Senate or House of Representatives saying 'I think I'm going to wait for the United Nations to make a decision'."

I didn't consider his using a chuckle -- not with the look on his face. More like "you have got to be kidding" and "how dare they put the UN above the US?"
If they want to consider that a chuckle, I wouldn't be laughing if I were the Daschle/clinton DemocRATS.

The report is inaccurate in that the President did not chuckle. He was as stern and tough in this mini press conference as he was yesterday at the UN.
