French news round-up:Le Monde leads with "Iraq: march toward war slowed." Says Le Monde, logistics, diplomatic matters, a slow but resolute inspection team and more are slowing the move to deal with Iraq.
Libé tells us that "The right hardens, the left softens," this with respect to crime and interior security. The left's softening, by the way, means it's going along with the right, not that it's taking a lighter attitude toward crime.
Says Le Figaro: "The UN wants to give an extension to Iraq." Because Iraq's uncooperativeness is making inspections take longer than expected, the UN wants to give it more time to clear its name! Boy, I'll bet every outlaw would like to be treated like this. Can't you just hear the sheriff on the bullhorn: "We know you're in there. If you don't come out in ten minutes... we'll give you twenty minutes to come out! You hear me?"
Tonight's French news brought to you by the UN: If you need Useless Nonsense, you need us.
