Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said on Tuesday a second U.N. resolution was highly desirable before any military action was taken on Iraq, but it was not strictly compulsory.
"It is very highly desirable to have a second resolution," Chretien told reporters after a cabinet meeting. But he left the door open to going ahead without one if required: "A second resolution, as I've always said, is not legally necessary."
Uh, Jean, I don't remember you saying that. But, thanks anyway, I think. Can we borrow those snipers of yours again? |
