...eventual withdrawal of U.S. troops from Europe. It finds Charles de Gaulle an invaluable if unintentional ally in its endeavor, and is striving to divide the U.S. from its European allies, particularly the Germans.

Both lines run through Syria, whose extremist regime opposed ending the embargo and could easily close either line by twisting a few valves. The Trans-Arabian pipeline, jointly owned by Texaco, Standard Oil of California, Standard Oil (N.J.) and Mobil Oil, has been shut since the fighting erupted.
