France "Turns the Page" on Iraq BAGHDAD -- France's foreign minister paid an unannounced and highly symbolic visit to Baghdad yesterday -- the first by a senior French official since the war started and a gesture to the American effort in Iraq after years of icy relations over the US-led invasion. Bernard Kouchner said Paris wanted to "turn the page" and look to the future. A top American general, meanwhile, said Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard had 50 men training Shi'ite militiamen in remote camps south of Baghdad. Rating: 5
