U.S. Still Lacks U.N. Votes for War Resolution Thu March 13, 2003 10:56 AM ET By Alan Elsner UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States suffered new setbacks on Thursday in its search for a U.N. Security Council majority that would set a tight deadline for Iraq to disarm or face war, as Baghdad prepared to offer new reports on its banned biological weapons programs. Still lacking Security Council support, the White House said diplomatic efforts could spill over into next week. Its main ally Britain offered a new concession by offering to drop a demand for President Saddam Hussein to appear on Iraqi television and own up to past illegal weapons programs. France repeated its opposition to giving Saddam any ultimatums and said it was prepared to kill any such resolution by using its veto. Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said: "It's not a question of giving Iraq a few more days before committing to the use of force. It's about making resolute progress toward peaceful disarmament, as mapped out by inspections that offer a credible alternative to war." reuters.com
