#3 "Fully assume their responsibilities..."
I've got a proposal now. We can let the French take complete leadership on handling Iraq if:
1) They pick up the tab on our troops staying past the end of March.
2) They assume complete responsibility for the actions of Saddam and his WMDs. Particularly, any use of said WMDs should be treated as an official action of France.
3) They explicitly authorize appropriate response to acts of war by France against the United States and its allies.

This would likely prompt the State Department to warn Americans to leave Paris and avoid French military bases.

#6 I've heard this a couple of times today. Seems to me what they're "saying" is that they're trying not to get the resolution on the table to vote because they and Cameroon, ad nauseum don't want to vote on it at all. Because, with some stories which have been leaking, France will not veto, Russian knows which end is up, Schroeder might do an about face, we do have the votes. This is like one of those marathon dances during the depression, they shoot horses, don't they?
