Folks, I would caution you to be very very careful what you sign on to, before the WHOLE truth is known about this.

It's very easy to splice video these days and some of the worst elements are involved in the Ivory Coast dust-up.

This could have been the rebels. Then even days later, French troops would have been taped in a vehicle driving away. We don't know the truth of this and jumping to conclusiong is a bid idea when it's in regard to something this serious.

I'll give the French their due. If it comes out this was French treachery, I'll be happy to join in the outrage later on.

I can agree with that 100%

Still, it doesn't hurt to get the tape out there for allot of people to see, then the French can explain themselves, and 'experts' can look at it.

They sure as hell didn't give our Nobel Marine any benefit of the doubt though.

Well, the only ones on scene with guns were the French troops. They left in an orderly retreat and were not under hostile fire or anything when they left.

As I said though, there is no indicator in the video as to what sparked this. All we really see is a bunch of dead, dying, and wounded natives.

We need to hear the rest of the story.
