France has already said they'd veto anything is a precursor to war...

CNN is quoting "anonymous U.N. sources"...let's wait and see before we get upset. I suggested to Dog that it was France trying to stir things up some more..who knows at this point?

I apologize if I offended you. We are all in this together so let's be friends. I really didn't mean it the way you took it.

The US State department is drafting the second resolution for use of force...The UN is drafting the resolution on the use of farce

here's an interesting article
Britain pushes UN to set new Iraq ultimatum Before any military action, however, America and Britain will attempt to build a wider international consensus in the UN Security Council, which will debate Iraq in private on Wednesday.
The 15-nation Council is deeply split over the prospect of war, even though it gave a unanimous warning in November that Iraq would face serious consequences if it failed to meet UN demands.
Britain, which seeks UN authorisation to win allies and reassure sceptical public opinion, is trying to forge a compromise between the US and France and Germany. Diplomats said that Washington would not accept any new resolution that did not set a short deadline and contain a renewed threat of serious consequences.
Last week the dispute led to angry exchanges between Washington on one side and Paris and Berlin on the other. However, there were signs over the weekend that the allies may be able to resolve their differences.
A senior French diplomat at Davos distanced the country from last weeks German criticism of the US and said that, depending on the wording of the resolution, Paris would almost certainly support the US. But the French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said last night that the inspectors should continue their work for several weeks or a few months. Germany has said that it will not go along with any resolution authorising force.
With Germany, France, Russia, China and Syria all opposed to war at this time, the anti-war camp almost has enough absentions or no votes to be able to defeat a resolution without any of the permanent council members exercising its UN veto. A resolution requires nine out of 15 votes to pass, which means that a resolution authorising war would be defeated if Mexico and one other member, such as Cameroon or Guinea, joined the anti-war camp.

I was looking at the positive side of this... That is to say, was this trail balloon of a second resolution, a better way to get away from this tar-baby of the UN, without just waking away and writing it off, as a bad idea?

Is this the "We really mean it" or the "We're not kidding" one?

That to say further, if we can't get nine votes... we have good reason to walk out of the League of Nations.

You could be right! I think the President has had about enough of these "friends and allies"...I'd love to hear what he says in the secrecy of the Oval Office, wouldn't you? Not fit to print, I'm sure.

LOL! Drudge can't be any worse than Geraldo on Fox! He is still the same old leftist he always was! He is whining that the world doesn't want war and that the President has not made his case and can't Saddam just be contained? Pathetic!!!
Chris Hitchins is on with a French leftist and Hitchins just said Chirac built Saddam a nuclear reactor! Whoa!
