US embassy cable - 03OTTAWA981

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) DFAIT Political Director Jim Wright told POL M/C April 4 
that Canada does not want to see unhelpful debates on Iraq 
surface in the various United Nations fora. Wright agrees 
that the Security Council is seized with the issue and 
believes it is making progress. Canada will therefore oppose 
efforts to reopen the "Situation in the Middle East" agenda 
item as a means of discussing Iraq.  Wright said that he 
would confirm this with Foreign Minister Graham and Canada's 
position will then be communicated to the General Assembly 
leadership.
