Due Diligence time: First, the U.S. Seeks U.N. Vote on Iraq on Friday; Second, Blair says there's no turning back, and Britain will support the U.S. regardless of the UN; Third, it seems that France is to help after war with Iraq, at least according to them. Don't hold your breath, Jacques; Fourth and Final, Iraqi 'secret surrender' negotiations under way, as Rumsfeld hinted at yesterday. By the way, Andrew Sullivan seems to be taking Rummy to task a bit, perhaps deservedly so. That's it on the war front for now. Bonjour!
