From the New York Times, via Insty:

Speaking at a joint news conference at the Élysée Palace, President Nicolas Sarkozy and Chancellor Angela Merkel said they had not changed their minds despite the findings of the American intelligence estimate released Monday, which some believed would have eroded support for tougher new sanctions.

The president's critics (and "progressives" in general) are fond of depicting Europe as more enlightened, and frequently insist we should take more advice and direction from Europe. For some odd reason, I don't think we'll see the same argument applied here. Do you?
