What Reuters leaves out is that these Rebels are from the Muslim north. They are jihadists and Islamofascists. They are backed by the usual suspects: Liberia, Libya, etc. ad nauseum. God Bless the French and pray for their victory.

reuters is perhaps the most biased of all the news sources from the people who wouldnt call the 19 hijackers terrorists. now are calling islamowackos rebels
To: Sparta
Three cheers for the French Soldiers for holding the line against the Jihad... but I do have a question for the French Government:
Did they go to the United Nations and get PERMISSION to fight this war?
Just wondering.

Nah. Ivory Coast is a former French colony and has a military pact with France. The French are just fulfilling(sp?) the terms of the agreement.

How is France's own large Muslim population dealing with this at home? Protests?

A French victory? Mark this date on your calendar.

these are the french who wouldn't let us fly our f-111's over their country to bomb libya...
To: Sparta
This article keeps talking about a "bruising clash", and the Frence "blasting" rebel forces. Then I read near the end of the article that the rebel forces consisted of three pickup trucks. Whoopee!
Or course, since it's Rruters, they could have forgotten to mention that perhaps six APCs were involved as well. Now, if it were CNN reporting this, their first report may have reported on the nuclear weapons used by the French, which they would then be forced to retract ten minutes later.
Anybody know if there were actually more than just three pickup trucks involved?

these are the french who wouldn't let us fly our f-111's over their country to bomb libya... My brother was in an F-111 on that raid. He thinks he might have seen his friends hit the water that night (one F-111 didn't make it). A bright fiery plume on the sea surface - which would happen as water is injested into a jet engine. Who knows. But the fatigue from an incredibly long journey around self-serving France might have played a part.
Thanks for reminding me. I need to take this over to the other thread on this subject where one particular frenchman is arguing that France kicks the US in the teeth out of some high-level mutual strategery to influence non-aligned countries. He'll probably show up on this thread as well.

I hope the French are counting on more than just the Angel Anthony. They might want to appeal to Charles Martel and the entire Heavenly Host as well. Today Duekoue. Tomorrow Paris.
They also might want to apologize for all those Spanish jokes that the French find so hilarious, especially, "Africa begins at the Pyrenees." They may need to call on Ferdinand and Isabella before it's all over, and unless they play their cards right, they might just find that Africa--AND the Middle East and the Islamic world--extend to the Belgian border.

What Reuters leaves out is that these Rebels are from the Muslim north. Thanks, sparta. I've read several accounts of this in the national press, and not a one has mentioned the inconvenient fact that the Religion of Peace is rearing its ugly head again.
Go France!

Good point re:Islamofacists from the Muslim north and their supporters.
Also, these French troopies are not yr garden variety brie sucking surrender monkeys. These lads are 2nd Para, Legion Etrangere. A battle hardened group of professionals soldiers. Viv la Mort! Viv la Guerre! Viv la Legion Etragere!

What about the Muslim invasion of France. How are they doing there?
To: Sparta
I'm surprised the French are even there, actually.
Are they coming around to the understanding that the islamists aren't their fwends?
To: Sparta
those warmongering french I hope they got a UN resolution first
