Syria Gas Attack- What Now?

Don't forget "they" is also "we". People in the USA tend to forget that the USA is the strongest part of the UN. Think about that.




Indeed, that will make it much harder for Obama to release the hounds. I wonder what France will do?

Big question as the President's minions have already said he'd go it alone.

Part of me wants him to so that his golden boy image is destroyed forever. I'd gladly go over there and fight to have that in the history books in fact. Well, I'd gladly go regardless but that would be icing on the cake.

Their military? No, of course not. Their politicians...that's a different story. I was impressed with the Germans and French I crossed paths with, but not their leadership.

Kudos for the Leroy Jenkins quote, I love that video and very appropriate to this situation too IMO.
 
Politicians will never understand that there are no "moderate rebels" and that when any two armed groups in the middle east are killing each other, American haters are dying on both fronts.

Hollande was more than keen to get into Libya and Mali.

Colonial ties have to be taken into consideration, but my point was to refute the stereotype of the French quitting the field of battle. If we're going to judge a nation's actions based on events from the previous century, then Iraq and Afghanistan would be "W's" on our scoreboard.

The French have done much better in OEF-A than some other nations here.
 
France's only Military weakpoint was WWII and then they were totally outclassed by enemy tactics.

I would warn that people in glass houses shouldn't be the first to throw stones.
 
The French president has said a vote by UK MPs against involvement in military strikes on Syria has not changed France's resolve to take firm action.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23897775

Francois Hollande said all options were being considered, and that a strike within days was not ruled out.

His comments came after US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said Washington would continue to seek a coalition for possible military action.

Sigh. It would've been better to let Assad clear up the remnants of the rebels and leave all of them in a weakened state/insurgency. Of course, that's not the 'humanitarian' thing to do... according to the bloody French socialists in government.

The French government didn't have a problem getting it's feet wet in Mali.
