You might want to take a look at another thread where only a little over 50% of San Franciscans support the bombing of Afghanistan. And the poll of SF does not go into the depth of whether we need ground troops. As far as saving their sorry YKW...You might be advised to know that the French government wholy supports the continuation of the war, and HAS been an integral part in intelligence...BTW, LONG before 9-11.

Ha! You won't convince me of French loyalty and bravery by comparing them to those in San Francisco. [Next you will be tell me how commited the French are to Operation Enduring Freedom... as compared to the professors at Berkely University.]

And yes, the French have been helping for a long time. As I recall, they helped Mohamar Kadaffi when evidence showed he bombed the disco in Germany. Reagan sent planes to retaliate and our "ally" France helped the US in their most predictable way. France refused to grant the US permission to fly over its airspace. Thus our planes were forced to go hours out of its way, refuel in the air and attack at a less opportune time.

We are all aware of their type of assistance.
