mass-destruction iraq done
As far as France is concerned, we are ready to envisage everything that can be done under UNSCR 1441. [...] But I repeat that every possibility offered by the present resolution must be explored, that there are a lot of them and they still leave us with a lot of leeway when it comes to ways of achieving the objective of eliminating any weapons of mass destruction which may exist in Iraq. I'd like nevertheless to note that, as things stand at the moment, I have, to my knowledge, no indisputable proof in this sphere.

leadership country lying
Helping to build a better-organized, fair and harmonious world: that idea lies at the heart of my conception of our country's role.

In continuing to do so, France is responding to a genuine demand, displaying leadership and influencing the course of events.
