These rebel forces need (but probably don't "deserve") our support.

What is fascinating about this is that the French went in here UNILATERALLY without UN approval at the precise time that we were seeking entry into Iraq. While France snubbed UN approval for a military mission without allies, they assaulted our request on iraq. Now we see the UN cooperating with the mission anyway.

better hand out automatic weapons and cases of ammo to all French nationals right away or they will see a Rwanda done
on the civilians they leave defenseless out of some warped
sense of political correctness. Machetes do not stand up very well to full auto.

Can we send arms to Ivory Coast to help them? I know France will be defeated anyway, but I would like to think we had a hand in it.

Don't we need to get paid under the table before we bring it to the Security Council? We get more money just like the frogs if we go this route.

A French military spokesman in Abidjan said Paris was also sending three Mirage fighter planes and one supply aircraft to the West African country of Gabon as reinforcements.

They must REALLY MEAN IT THIS TIME!

I know. Let's promise to support them, and then torpedo them in the security council at the last second.

They have to get more boots on the ground before they can have a really big mass surrender.

"Do they have the UN's approval? Where are the weapons of mass destruction? etc"

and where are the mass graves?

IIRC, isn't this war basically a war between Muslims and the animalists, with France backing the Muslims?
