Gulf Daily News: New UN vote on Iraq is opposed by France

"French President Jacques Chirac said yesterday that France would not support a new United Nations resolution that would allow the US and Britain to administer postwar Iraq. blair.jpg

Speaking at a European Union summit, Chirac said he would "not accept" a resolution that "would legitimise the military intervention (and) would give the belligerents the powers to administer Iraq. That would justify the war after the event," Chirac said."

I thought France would want to get the UN to run Iraq, they may then have a chance to reclaim some oil contracts, loans etc..
