I think, however, that the Blair angle is about the British PM covering his backside after backing us and that we probably aren't that opposed to internationalization, so long as the French are made to give up some of their oil revenues and look very bad and self-interested for anything they manage to claim - i.e. we must make sure that the anti-Americans pay a pound of credibility for every ounce of profit they extract from liberated Iraq. With that, we can be satisfied that someone other than us gets the more tedious day to day tasks. * * *
