HAITI . . . COLD FEET, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT

Clinton Administration officials found a new way to phrase their sabre-rattling on a U.S. invasion of Haiti -- the move could come "very soon," Chief of Staff Leon Panetta said. But there were signs all over Capitol Hill today that the president hasn't convinced legislators to support him. Both Democrats and Republicans complained they were being ignored by a hawkish White House. GOP protestations from Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole and presidential aspirant Dan Quayle were no surprise. But leading Democrats also got skittish: Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell and House Speaker Thomas Foley both said they preferred the president seek Congress' OK before any invasion. Clinton scheduled a Thursday night TV address to make his case. What to watch for: he may announce a firm deadline for Haiti's military junta to leave.
