Looks like our discussion somewhat represents reality. France, Germany and Russia will vote for a resolution that seems to do nothing and the Bush administration will use it and will probably posture and do nothing to get us out of there. I'm trying to state that fairly objectively. But, just as I posted, it's easy to talk and be critical. I don't believe anyone else will step up to the plate and do something. IMO, that's an underlying reason for the Cowboy attitude.

(Brussels, Belgium) -- Some of the leading opponents of the U.S. led war in Iraq are now lending their support to the United States' latest resolution on post-war efforts. A vote is scheduled this morning in the U.N. Security Council on the resolution.

German leader Gerhard Schroeder says Germany, France and Russia will vote in favor of the resolution. He says the decision was made during a 45-minute conference call involving him, French President Jacques Chirac and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Schroeder says the leaders agreed the resolution is in his words, "really an important step in the right direction." But he says the three nations aren't ready to "engage ourselves militarily." Schroeder says the latest version of the resolution reflects their concerns about the speed of rebuilding and restoring power to Iraqis. He indicates some disagreements remain, but didn't elaborate. Germany, France and Russia have called for a quicker transition to Iraqi rule than what the U.S. envisions.
