Here's some French news on Iraq's no:Figaro:
Saddam Hussein embarrassé par l'ultimatum des inspecteurs / Saddam Hussein embarrassed by inspectors' ultimatum
Rich bit: One Iraqi functionary said, "Not all the Al-Samoud 2s have been tested, so no one can say that they're all in contravention of Iraq's agreements."
And here's Libé:
Détruire ses missiles, crève-coeur de Bagdad / Destroying those missiles heartbreaking for Baghdad.
L'Irak traîne les pieds pour désarmer, convaincu que cela n'arrêtera pas la guerre. / Iraq drags its feet on disarming, convinced it won't stop war.
This story was written before Saddam's no. Convinced war is coming, Iraq wants the missiles to use. And if they make Blix and company look like idiots, it'll probably come to that.
Nothing in Le Monde about Iraqi refusal, not even a major headline about the question being up in the air. More in tonight's French news.
