showed their cards, I believe -- it's an old Texas expression -- show your cards, when you're playing poker. So cards have been played.

That's pretty funny :-)

They said they are going to veto anything that held Saddam to account.

That's what Bush said. And then there is something Powell said to more or less the same end.

Unfortunately, that is what they would like to show Chirac's words to mean. It is called "spin" in the parlance of our times, I believe.

Where is the quote from Chirac?

they will not support an "automatic" invasion, and they insist the council would have to meet again if Iraq failed "benchmark" tests

That is more like what I remember. I don't see the correlation between this remark and "they said they will veto anything that holds Saddam to account".
