However, it was a useful signal, I think, to make Saddam Hussein understand that, even with the new American administration, the vigilance will be maintained and, we hope, even increased, and I would even go so far as to say that we can already see the first fruits of this action.
Mais ce fut, selon moi, un avertissement utile pour faire comprendre à Saddam Hussein que la nouvelle administration américaine continuera de le surveiller, et espérons-le, renforcera cette surveillance.
