But continued debate about an invasion of Iraq may make it difficult for the price to move much lower.
There is a time that calls for action and when debate makes no sense.

The debate that we have held here today will also make the Council's job easier in future.
I hope today's debate has at least made a small contribution to that.

I believe that this debate should make us think about specific measures to solve these problems.
Yesterday's tough debate once again makes it clear that further steps must be taken.
The debates do not make the point at issue clear.
