France is on a roll. All the French needed to do is elect a short leader!

France and the US acting in concert to hand over the Ivory Coast, Libya and Egypt to the Islamists.

All the French needed to do is elect a short leader! DeGaulle was tall and a very determined soldier in the field during the Fall of France. The key is to not be led by a Frenchman. Charlemagne was German, Napolean was Corsican, Jean D'arc was not a man.
To: Truth29
Now they are back pedaling saying was not the French special forces but are claiming that it was pro-Ouattara forces that captured Gbagbo (LOL)

Why is this a problem?
The people apparently elected a new President and the old one refuses to relinquish power.
The French have major economic interests and residual colonial interests. The orderly transition has failed and the old guy needs to be thrown out. Had the Brits done that in Rhodesia, the suffering from Mugabe could have been prevented.
Would you oppose help from the French to oust Obama after he lost the election?

Yep. I am sure that report is about as reliable as Obama's actions in Libya.

Aside from possibly her age Alizee seems to fit the ticket.
Then again how old was Jean D'Arc again?

Election fraud by the Mohammedans might just be one reason. Another is that handing power to Mohammedans is like handing power to Communists or Nazi’s.

An aide to French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said the French strikes are to avoid a "bloodbath" rather than to depose Mr Gbagbo. If you believe that, then I wonder if you'd be interested in purchasing this large tower thing in Paris?

In the interest of full disclosure, I admit that I personally vetted her qualifications on youtube and fully endorse her candidacy.
Trust but verfify. (Use Alizee as search term)
