Dean: Blocking France From Iraq Contracts Foolish PARIS (AP)--U.S. President George W. Bush was "foolish" for shutting France out of lucrative contracts to rebuild Iraq, a French newspaper quoted presidential candidate Howard Dean as saying. <font size=4> Dean<font size=3>, one of a handful of Democratic hopefuls for the 2004 election, <font size=4>told Sunday paper Le Journal du Dimanche, "We need French help in Iraq." "It's natural that there's going to be a cooperation between the French and the Americans in Iraq, that the French business community would be able to compete just like everybody else,"<font size=3> Dean said in the interview. <font size=4> "The president is very foolish to take retaliatory trade actions against French companies," Dean was quoted<font size=3> as telling the paper, which released an English-language transcript of his remarks. The Bush administration has barred opponents of the Iraq war from competing for $18.6 billion in U.S.-financed reconstruction contracts. French President Jacques Chirac was a leading voice against the war that toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Other U.S. allies affected by the decision include Germany and Canada. framehosting.dowjonesnews.com.
