Hillary's position was no different from Tony Blair's position.
They were saying it would be impossible to get the UN Security Council to agree a resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq.
President Chirac had said on TV that France would veto any such resolution.
Still the theory was that Iraq could be pressured into cooperating more fully with the inspections.
The problem was that it involved trusting people like Cheney and Rumsfeld, who had already decided that the invasion would go ahead - no matter what.
