>>"This looks like a rerun of a bad movie," President Bush said yesterday. He's right; and the United States cannot afford to allow the French script to be replayed. Instead, Mr. Bush should offer a detailed public explanation of what the United States knows about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and challenge the United Nations, one last time, to preserve its relevance by acting to implement Resolution 1441. In the meantime, the administration should continue to prepare the military coalition that even now is taking shape in the Persian Gulf. It would be best if that coalition could act with full Security Council support; but it can, if necessary, succeed without it.<<

Wow. That's a Washington Post editorial, too.

Katharine Graham must be rolling over in her grave.

I think, when push comes to shove, the Euros will cave. They cannot afford to have us go into Iraq over their opposition. It would be the end of them having any influence, show their weakness, and put the UN down to nothing on the World scene.
