De Villepin reacted coolly to suggestions, made by senior Bush administration officials Sunday, that Hussein and his top advisers be offered political asylum outside Iraq to avert a war. "The problem is something more difficult than a question of change of regime," he said. "Let us not be diverted from our objective. It is the disarmament of Iraq."

If a regime change were to occur, disarmament would also take place. It wouldn’t be a problem. Yes… come to think about it, de Villepin is plainly – and sharply – changing the subject – by refusing even to discuss the issue of Saddam leaving office.

From Hussein’s point of view – who needs friends, with ‘enemies’ like the French Foreign Minister?
