Fisk is right on again as usual... It is the rogue state of Israel which needs to be disarmed:

Chirac warns US against unilateral attack on Iraq
PARIS, Jan 19 (Reuters) - French President Jacques Chirac said in an interview released on Sunday that any unilateral U.S. attack on Iraq without U.N. backing would isolate Washington from the international community."If the United States decide to intervene alone, we will have to say that that will happen outside of the international community," Chirac told the daily Le Figaro newspaper, due to publish the interview on Monday.He said any attack on Iraq would not be legitimate unless it was based on a decision by the U.N. Security Council and that could be taken only on the basis of a report by U.N. arms inspectors now searching Iraq.Chirac said France wanted Iraq disarmed of any weapons of mass destruction and urged Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to cooperate with U.N. arms inspectors.Washington has pressed the inspectors to be more aggressive in seeking evidence of Iraqi weapons programmes, but Chirac said it was not up to outsiders to decide whether the inspectors were able to do their jobs."One may doubt the (Iraqi) cooperation is sufficient and may wish it to be more active, which is what I do," he said. "But it's up to the inspectors to judge if they are able to carry out their mission, not up to this or that country."Chief U.N. arms inspector Hans Blix arrived in Baghdad on Sunday demanding that Iraq stop dragging its feet and volunteer evidence on weapons programmes to avoid the threat of war.FRANCE HOLDS U.N. VETOFrance, one of the five veto-wielding permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, has urged Washington throughout the Iraq crisis to work through the U.N. in dealing with Baghdad.Chirac argued war was not inevitable, saying: "It is always an admission of defeat, the worst possible solution."He declined to say whether he thought U.S. President George W. Bush would order a unilateral attack against Iraq."I have a lot of esteem for the American president. I'm sure he will consider all the consequences of such a gesture," Chirac said.Chirac said British Prime Minister Tony Blair's support for Washington's Iraq strategy did not strengthen European cooperation."But, well, everyone has his own characteristics," said Chirac. "By tradition, the English have always kept an eye out towards the wide open sea and their American cousins."Chirac said a war in Iraq "would have possibly very serious human consequences, political consequences that are hard to control, economic consequences and a considerable cost".He cited a war cost estimate of 100 billion dollars."When you think we are not able, for example, to provide necessary medicines to poor countries to fight against epidemics, you ask yourself if all this is reasonable," he said. | | | | Guest | | | | Guest | | | | Guest | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
