Paris also wants 'all forces in Iraq' at proposed talks

WASHINGTON France said Monday that it would take part in a proposed international conference on Iraq only if the agenda included a possible U.S. troop withdrawal, thus complicating the planning for a meeting that has drawn mixed reactions.
.
Paris also wants representatives of Iraq's insurgent groups to be invited to a conference in October or November, a call that would seem difficult for the Bush administration to accept.
.
But given the difficult conditions in Iraq, Foreign Minister Michel Barnier of France said Monday that a U.S. withdrawal "is a question that should figure on the agenda of such a conference, if one wants it to take place." Barnier, in an interview France Inter Radio, described the situation as one of "chaos in Iraq, with generalized insecurity, including in the 'Green Zone,'" the heavily guarded area in Baghdad that is home to many U.S. and British offices.
.
In Berlin, the German government said it had long been in favor of an international forum to support Iraq's democratization, Agence France-Presse reported. The European Union's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, also endorsed the idea, as did the Spanish and Danish governments.
.
Barnier's comments were not entirely surprising; France has been a foremost opponent of the war in Iraq and has refused to send troops to help stabilize the country. They seemed likely, however, to irritate anew a troubled relationship that both French and American officials have been working to improve.
.
A U.S. State Department spokesman, Adam Ereli, was asked Monday about the French conditions for taking part in an international conference. He declined to comment directly.
.
"This is something that the Iraqis are taking the lead in putting together," he said. "So I would refer, you know, those kinds of questions to them."
