[Fred Langford]

11:28 ET US-UK may now be just one vote away from majority on Iraq vote - CNN : CNN.com reports that the Bush administration believes that it is just one vote shy of having 9 of 15 votes needed on a U.N. Security Council resolution that sets a Monday deadline for Iraqi compliance; officials are focusing diplomatic energies on Mexico and Chile to secure their backing, as they are confident they have the support of Cameroon, Guinea, and Angola, and now believe that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf can be counted on for his support when a vote happens this week (Pakistan said a few days ago that it would abstain).
