Add Canada to the list of "the willing"
PM says UN resolution 'will authorize action'Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has made his clearest statement yet about Canada's position on Iraq.
In an interview with Canadian Press, Chrétien says if the UN weapons inspectors find evidence Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, a second UN resolution authorizing force would not be necessary before an invasion.
"The report of (chief UN weapons inspector Hans) Blix, if he says (Saddam Hussein) is not conforming, he has not disarmed, Resolution 1441 will authorize action," Chrétien told CP.
I know Chretien's kind of crude Canuck, but I kind of like the guy...and I think he's a stand up guy for the U.S. and President Bush.
All I can say, "Beauty, eh, Jean?"
