      "title": "Iraq: U.S. Policy Options",
      "summary": "In the aftermath of the December 16-19 U.S.-British bombing campaign against Iraq (Operation\nDesert Fox), the United States continues to search for a sustainable and effective means of ending\nthe threat posed by Iraq. Many in Congress believe that U.S. policy should focus primarily on\nremoving Saddam Husayn from power. The Administration says it is working toward that outcome\nbut that achieving it will be difficult. According to the Administration, near term U.S. policy should\nfocus primarily on preventing any restart of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs\nand on containing Iraq's ability to threaten its neighbors. This report will be updated to reflect\nregional, diplomatic, or legislative developments.",
