The French are tough enough to shoot at unarmed civvies.
When bullets start flying back in the other direction, we'll see their resolve.
"Ivory Coast faction urges march against French army.."
Tomorrows' headline:
"French Army surrenders to Ivory Coast faction"
France has an army?
I am amazed that France has not surrender yet
Have any of the usual leftist groups filed war crimes charges in the Hague against Chirac the Insignificant and his generals?
Funny quote from a leftie site:
"...the French government is proving slow to learn that subjects of colonialism never desire their subjugation.
Perhaps one can credit France with at least being honest in their choice of name for their elephant colony. In which direction would public opinion go if Bush suddenly re-named Iraq “Oil Country”?"
haha

CHIRAC: RETREAT!!!
We should supply the Ivorians and give them airsupport against the French. The French have no qualms in killing unamed civilians, and we know what they will do against a professional soldier.
A remote controlled spotter plane or predator would do the trick.
These folks should hire a few Germans, dress them in Wehrmacht uniforms, and arm them. Then we'd see what the French are made of...and we'd probably also see many ads for "French rifles in excellent condition - never fired, only dropped once."
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Amelie and the Femme Nikita seem to have more "balls" than any biological Frenchman.
Tell me again where I can sign on to help fund (read: arm) the Ivorian government against the froggies imperialist war for chocolate.
