French President Jacques Chirac said he remained steadfastly opposed to war against Baghdad without giving U.N. weapons inspectors searching for banned weapons as much time they need to do their work.

When asked how much time -- weeks or months -- weapons inspectors should have, Chirac responded: "I can't put a timeframe on it. It's up to them to decide," Chirac said.

"There is still much to be done in the way of disarmament by peaceful means," Chirac said.

I wonder if Chirac ever read any of the resolutions that the UN passed.
