Yahoo! News - France Says World Against Bush Ultimatum on Iraq

Off-topic

"PARIS (Reuters) - France said on Tuesday the world did not back President Bush (news - web sites)'s ultimatum to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) to leave Iraq (news - web sites) within 48 hours or face military action."

"France wants weapons inspectors to continue their work, saying that there is evidence inspections are producing results and war should always be a last resort. "

There has been evidence that the inspections are working since we parked 250,000 US and UK troops on Iraq's border at a significant expense. Now, is that really practical?

"Paris backed resolution 1441, which was unanimously voted through by the Security Council last year, demanding Saddam disarm or face "serious consequences."

France is part of the problem, not the solution.
