Murdoch's Sky: FRANCE THREATENS NEW UN VETO
France would block any UN resolution giving the US and Britain the power of
administration in Iraq, French President Jacques Chirac has declared.

He said France would still not support a resolution backing war at this stage and
would also oppose a resolution giving Washington and London administrative
power in Iraq.


"This idea of a resolution seems to me to be a way of authorising military
intervention after the event, and so is not, in my point of view, fitting in the
current situation," Mr Chirac said at a news conference in Brussels.

"France would not accept a resolution that authorises military intervention and
gives the United States and Britain administrative powers in Iraq."
