Backing Down from UN "Use of Force" Demands? Maybe Not

Earlier in the day, AP got this startling piece of news:

ASSOCIATED PRESS
    UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 17 —   Amid a continuing and often contentious U.N.
debate on Iraq on Thursday, the United States appeared to back down from its
demands for a U.N. resolution authorizing military force against Iraq. Diplomats told
the Associated Press that the U.S. is now floating a compromise that would
drop the
tough wording explicitly threatening Iraq. They said France is studying the new offer.
The French had opposed the threat of force in the original U.S. draft proposal."

By now, FAUX News says that US diplomats are strongly denying any backing down. Considering the source, more reliable sources are needed. But it's gettin interesting.
