By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Kuchwara · Tuesday, Jan. 28,2003 11:52 p.m.

NEW YORK -- That golden haze on the meadow is a bit brighter the second time around.

There is no "smoking gun." Regardless, the Executive Branch of the United States is set on pursuing a war with Iraq. Within the past two weeks, U.N. weapons inspectors have found 16 empty warheads about 90 miles outside of Baghdad.
