"But no vote on the document was expected for two weeks at the Security Council, where most members at this stage oppose a swift move to war. "The move opened an intensive period of diplomacy. France and Germany came out strongly against a new resolution and a shift to a "logic of war," circulating a rival proposal which would extend U.N. inspections for at least four months. "The 12-paragraph draft resolution, obtained by Reuters, does not have a deadline and says simply that the Council 'decides that Iraq has failed to take the final opportunity afforded to it in resolution 1441.'" So, did I imagine all those no war in Iraq protests on Feb 15 in the US and the UK or what? A million+ protesters in the streets of London is a pretty big clue, Mr. Blair. I mention this because of the two of you, um, world leaders, you're the one with the most salvage potential.
