Worm boy says no
Reuters alerts that France's Chirac promises veto in U.N. Iraq vote:

French President Jacques Chirac said on Monday France would use its U.N. Security Council veto to block a resolution authorising war against Iraq.

"Whatever happens, France will vote 'no'," Chirac said on France 2 and TF1 television in his first televised interview on the Iraq crisis.

"There could, effectively, be a majority of nine votes or more for a new resolution, one which would authorise war.

"If that was the case, then France would vote 'no'. France will vote 'no' because she considers tonight that there is no reason to wage a war to reach the goal we set ourselves, that is the disarmament of Iraq," he said in the joint interview.

Well, I guess that's that. As they say over at PaveFrance: Paving begins in eight minutes.
