If they’re French, they’re probably retreating.

In 1958, a Legionary of “13” (13th Demi-Brigade of Foreign Legion) in operations in the Jebel, Algeria, found this starving donkey.

The legionnaire brought him back to the base and the animal became the mascot of the unit under the name “Bambi”. The legion was given an award for kindness to animals.

Obama’s a pig and he knew that image would be broadcast in the Muslim world. There isn’t a press briefing or speech that isn’t completely choreographed. They knew what they were doing and what they wanted.
