I vividly recall Bush's warmongers harping on France, Germany and Belgium for their respective positions opposing NATO militarizing Turkey for the war. What was the talking point line earlier in the week? 16 votes to three, and the three are winning the vote?

Well, today, we essentially saw a 13 to two division in the UN Security Council with the majority wanting continued inspections. Think Bush and his warmongers will use the same math?

Incidentally, the 16 to three vote was over militarily supplying a country, not voting in favor of the war itself; whereas the 13 to two division is a sentiment for not going to war at all. Which is the more important vote?
