What?, the French got mad at a terrorist attack on their civilians and retaliated?! I guess Chirac was not on the take in Africa.

Well, if you open up on civilian demonstrators with a 20mm cannon, what do you expect?

Aren't these the same "hate media" who are fuelling the political violence in the troubled Iraq?

Now maybe they have a taste of "hate media" which we're getting from the entire world. If you can't suck it up on the Ivory Coast, I'd hate to see what you'd do in our positions.

Thanks you said it. Annan should have said it to Al Jazeera, CBS, French media and all others for the hate media from the beginning from Iraq War.
