France and Germany dug in for another diplomatic battle.

"France and Germany dug in for another diplomatic battle yesterday when they rejected American proposals for a new UN resolution on Iraq...

"Facing daily casualties in Iraq and large-scale bombings that killed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the United Nations envoy, and the Shi'ite leader Ayatollah Muhammad Baqer al-Hakim, Washington is to seek a new UN resolution to encourage other countries to send troops and funds."

— The Telegraph (London), Sept. 5, 2003.
