German Diplomat, Schroeder Split on Iraq
abcnews.go.com

BERLIN Feb. 10 — German officials brushed off reports Monday of a rift over Iraq policy between Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and his foreign minister, despite signs that the chief diplomat is chafing at the chancellor's tough rhetoric against U.S. pressure for war.

While both of the German leaders want to prevent war in Iraq, Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer has been intent on leaving room to maneuver for instance, resisting Schroeder's flat refusal to support any U.N. resolution authorizing war.

New questions about relations within the government emerged after Fischer apparently was not briefed about a German-French initiative to disarm Iraq peacefully, reported in the German media just as he was attending a conference in Munich with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
