"Mr President, with their implausible, verbose, confused, ambiguous, hypocritical joint resolution, the Socialists, the Greens and the Liberals have folded completely. They have managed to achieve the impossible in the current circumstances, by drafting a resolution that does not contain a single recital condemning US-UK military belligerence or a single article demanding that it should cease. Their righteous indignation is directed solely towards the Iraqi authorities, who are asked not to use their weapons, while promising that they will be brought before an international court anyway, which borders on the ridiculous. Since when, under international law, has destroying a nation with bombs been a legitimate way of changing a government, even if it is an authoritarian one, like all the others in the region for that matter? Does this mean that all the mechanisms of law and collective security can be violated on a whim of the powerful? That is the only issue which needed to be raised today. You did not want to raise it. You did not want a resolution. This is a dark day for Parliament."@en1
