'We're Calling for the Vote'
President Bush says he will insist the U.N. Security Council vote on a final Iraq resolution

Good. If the French and Russians are going to screw up this effort, they deserve to have their feet held to the fire for doing so. It's curious that these nations are on the one hand so convinced the whole world is with them and on the other so skittish about having to officially oppose the US on these matters. Perhaps the US isn't the pariah that a France dreaming of ascendancy would like it to be. Either that or the French know there's stuff in Iraq that will show them to be damned hypocrites if it comes out. Either way, the maneuvering by France, Germany and Russia make clear we're still a force to be reckoned with both militarily and morally. Mr. Bush should make them face a day of reckoning in which they are required to clearly take a stand by which history can judge them.
