Probably explains the return to the Security Council for one last resolution.

Yes, indeed. I would guess that Clinton offered this as a solution, knowing full well that he had talked Chirac into vetoing it.

However, all's well that ends well, and now Clinton is apparently trying to portray himself as the big diplo-expert.

That train has left the station, and no one cares how cozy he is with the French.

What I really want to know is if Clinton's name shows up in those boxes that the reporters found with all sorts of letters to and from the Saddam regime. I will not be one it surprised.

Hey, great catch. I think you got something there. Clinton would be just the one to try to sabatoge the path to war by that crazy notion of going back to the UN for that totally unnecessary "permission" resolution. That analysis helps me understand the otherwise unfathomable insistence by Blair on that damnned resolution. It works for me.

What a guy that Clinton is. What a guy!

No, I know that meetings with Clinton did not produce second attempt with Securitiy Council. That was a widely discussed topic among govt officials.....I heard about it on Charlie Rose show in interview with Kissinger 10 days before it happened. Kissie said there would be a second go at SecCouncil, which would fail, and then we'd go to war. He declined to discuss it further, but the idea was floating about and had nothing to do with Xlinton.
