Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott is blasting the U.N. deal. On Capitol Hill, Lott, of Mississippi, accused the administration of capitulating to President Saddam Hussein and abdicating its foreign policy to a “dubious negotiator,” Kofi Annan. He complained that the secretary-general is calling the shots, the United States is not. In a speech on the Senate floor, Lott also said, “It’s not too late to reject a deal if it leaves Saddam Hussein rejoicing.”
