Washington Post (excerpt):

His presentation did not fundamentally alter the views of key opponents of
the war in the council. France, Russia and China, who all possess veto
power, argued that inspections provided the best means for assuring Iraqi
disarmament and that the U.N. inspection agency should be augmented to
increase its efficiency. "With the choice between military intervention and
an inspections regime that is inadequate for lack of cooperation on Iraq's
part, we must choose to strengthen decisively the means of inspection," said
France's Foreign Minister Dominque De Villepin. "Let us double or triple the
number of inspectors and open up more regional offices."
