#1 I thought the UNSC had seen the US/UK resolution.

#2 they've seen the resolution US/UK have introduced - what they haven't seen is the resolution that will ultimately be voted on - this implies that a change in wording (like the Canadian proposal) could give them the "out" to change their minds.

#3 The Canadian proposal might have got some support until Carolyn Parrish opened her big mouth. Chirac and Chretien may as well be the Bobsie Twinks.

The issue at the UN is time wating diversion. I suspect that the US and UK are using the old NBA strategy: the thirty second coundown is in effect an if France wants the ball, they are going to have to foul somebody.
