Incidentally, "De Villepin said France's main priority in the reconstruction of Iraq would be for the U.N. to pass a humanitarian resolution on the oil-for-food program." If that includes one dime for Total-Fina-Elf, the US should inform France that any influence it wants in post-war Iraq will have to be acquired the way we acquired it. * * *
