Mandate for war will fail, predicts Germany
(David Usborne, Tony Paterson and Stephen Castle, The Independent, 12 February 2003)
Germany said yesterday that a clear majority of nations on the UN Security Council will oppose a new resolution authorising war on Iraq, heralding a political catastrophe for Tony Blair. . . . Only four of the 15, the US, Britain, Spain and Bulgaria, were opposed to the German position, a senior source claimed. . . . For a resolution to pass, it needs a minimum of nine votes and the absence of a veto by any of the five permanent members. . . . On Monday, Germany, Russia and France issued a joint call for inspections to be pursued and reinforced with extra manpower and technology.
