>>Calling for continued inspections were France, Russia and China, which all have veto power, as well as Germany, Mexico, Chile, Guinea, Cameroon, Syria, Angola and Pakistan. Only Bulgaria and Spain backed the United States and Britain in focusing on Iraq's failures rather than the inspections process.<<
The U.S. best friend Mexico against America too? <Sigh>
>>In Washington, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said diplomacy was in its "final phase." Secretary of State Colin Powell said the United States would try to help find a haven for Saddam Hussein, his family and close aides if he would agree to go into exile.
"That would be one way to try to avoid war," Powell, who will address the Security Council next Wednesday, said at a news conference.<<
It's important to the world community that Powell should makes it clear that the above statment means all US wants is Saddam to leave and making peace to the world. US has no intention to take over the country and its oil fields and back this up by letting UN transform Saddam's government rather than by US itself should Saddam go into exile.
Of course, I'm wishing. |
