This means very little. The Islamists are probably just following Mao's very successful strategy:
"The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue."
Exactly what I thought. Mali is larger than Afghanistan. If we couldn’t get rid of the Taliban there, these rebels won’t be leaving Mali any time soon. They’ll just wait it out until the French leave.
Exactly! What happened to the US in Afghanistan will happen to the French in Mali. Hasn’t anyone learned anything since Vietnam?
Islam does not ‘melt away’. You may kill them, and , in a very few instances, convert them, but only in the mind of a Public Relations Flack, will they ‘melt away’. Nice try, shallow phoney PR pump.
