"And if you remember the other part of the context is we were then all deceived about the French position and told the French had said they'd veto any second resolution - which wasn't true, we now know"

In this quote, Clare Short is reviewing a past event where she and others were misguided about the French position on a 2nd resolution. She mentions that they were all tricked and informed that the French had stated they would veto any second resolution, however she now understands that this was not true. This quote highlights the value of being cautious and questioning information that exists to us, as it can often be deceptive or incorrect. It likewise functions as a reminder to not blindly trust authority figures or sources, but to seek out the fact for ourselves.
