France is pouring troops into Mali to halt an Islamist offensive at the request of its Malian ally. Mali is an ex-French colony.

A total waste of French blood and treasure. Africa is, and will always be, a dump.

La Légion étrangère. Dien Bien Phu again?
Given politics and the social environment in France, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

I winder if they are fighting Islamic terrorists armed with Libyan weapons supplied by the US through Benghazi?

Paris is also an ex-French colony now being overrun by Islamists.
The Liberal mind lives in such a Utopian fantasy of tolerance in the face of eternal examples of 7th Century barbarism, including present-day slavery, repression, violence and human rights violations.
The Left claims a War on Women while ignoring videotape of a rape victim being flogged.
France and Belgium are weak, I hope they wake up.

“Paris is also an ex-French colony now being overrun by Islamists.”
How true. I can’t wait to see how the French “populace” reacts to this!

Hopfully they changed the color of their parachutes. How else will the muzzies be able to tell if they are parachuting in or surrendering in mid-air?

Let’s not be too hard on the French, after all, they are putting their lives on the line to clean up a mess that our president started with Arab Spring.

Africa is the future. The natural resources are there. All you need do is get rid of the Tribalism and Islam.

“All you need do is get rid of the Tribalism and Islam.”
So essentially the entire population of Africa.
