FRANCE THREATENS NEW UN VETO

FRANCE THREATENS NEW UN VETO

France would block any UN resolution giving the US and Britain the power of administration in Iraq, French President Jacques Chirac has declared.

He said France would still not support a resolution backing war at this stage and would also oppose a resolution giving Washington and London administrative power in Iraq.

"This idea of a resolution seems to me to be a way of authorising military intervention after the event, and so is not, in my point of view, fitting in the current situation," Mr Chirac said at a news conference in Brussels.

"France would not accept a resolution that authorises military intervention and gives the United States and Britain administrative powers in Iraq."

Every time I hear from France, I think, "That is the dumbest possible thing they could possibly say/do (pick one as appropriate)", but within 24 hours they prove me wrong.

OK, Jacque, then you're irrelevant at that point as well.

Who asked them? As one Marine said of the French, "They'll be there when they need us".

If France wants a say in the peace they should be in the war.

Works for me. If Jaques wants to put yet another nail in the UN's coffin, so be it. Because if he likes it or not, we are going to be doing it.

And he and his country won't be involved.
