PARIS, March 17 (Reuters) - French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said on Monday that the United States had failed to prove a link between Iraq and the al Qaeda network blamed for the September 11 attacks on the United States.
"There is no link today proving the link between al Qaeda and Iraq," Villepin said on Europe 1 radio.
He said he considered the United States a "precicious ally" and worried about the future of U.S.-French relations because of the spat over Iraq.

My thoughts about this guy is, how could he see a link, the best view he has is that of his own colon.
And Dominique has failed to prove that France does not have financial interest in Iraq that weighs into their decisions at the UN level. Dominique, did you ever hear the term 'conflict of interest?'
