Yet another FAIL for “smart diplomacy.”

Absolutely correct action M. Sarkozy.

This guy doesn't like Obomba and paid close attention to how our one-time Eastern European allies were treated by the scum who would be president!

Now why aren’t I more worried about this?

A minimalist approach:

minimal help

minimal hope

minimal friend

Well if the head of the big team won't send any, why should the supporting players do the same.

He's just following Obama’s lead really...

This probably marks the end of coalitions with the west.... as obama veers and takes us into marxism and its allies. Maybe Chavez will be the leader of the next coalition?

I think the French are realists. Perhaps I’m naive about the nuances of “war” these days, but “police actions” in areas where there is no law, and “nation building” in tribal regions with no notion of nationality seem like escapades designed for failure: even more so if our namby pamby tactics lack any hope of effectiveness.

Our CIC is throwing the fight, whatever the heck the fight is , and it is no surprise that our allies want to get out of the ring.

Layer on top of that the suicidal PC attitude the Europeans have adopted towards the immigration and demographic invasion of their sub-continent by the enemy - a case in which the term “realist” can be used only in the most cynical of manners - and I think the chances of counting on them to really fight this enemy with the ruthlessness required to win the larger “war” are nonexistent.

Europe will soon be Moslem. In essence, they have already submitted. Who there wants to go on record as the enemy of the Moslems?

While I understand their lack of faith in Obama, this is still a stupid move by France.

Failure in Afghanistan means the reintroduction of terror training camps. As such, the “youth” violence in Fance would become more intense.

Sarko is slapping Obama on the cheek with a glove to try to wake him up. Why should he send French soldiers to the war theater to be sacrificed on the altar of cowardly political indecision?

Which reminds me, the graphic of the bunny wearing a pancake should be put on leave temporarily and replaced with a pic of Obummy with a waffle on his head.

He’s right. I wouldn’t send another soldier either as long as our sissy-in-chief is “crafting the strategy” there. Who wants to be on the side that loses?

That’s a finger in the eye of Obama. Sarkozy doesn’t like him. It’s obvious Carla doesn’t like MO either.

Just wait until this Lisbon Treaty is ratified and then we can count out the Brits as well. The Europeans are complete deadbeats.
