So you are siding with the French then? Pessimism is good, especially in a thing like this. But your making it sound like this was some weird porn video shoot. Was the guy missing his hand, the other with a bullet crease in his head, the gal with the ribcage exist wound, and the one missing their entire HEAD all part of your strip tease as well?

Don't push your point to where it breaks. Most of us agree with you that there is more going on here than just the video can show.

I don't see French people shooting civilians. I see civilians clearly being shot but I don't think it'd be fair to say it was French soldiers shooting them.

Cool, has it be debunked yet? What was the cause of the shooting?

The video was created by the anti French group - crude propaganda that sadly fooled some Americans. See if you hate people - like some hate the French - you can get fooled easily.

I understand your point and that is why I'm holding judgement on this .. mainly because it's not clear how or what started this

But I will say this ... it looks really bad for the French because other then the French troops .. I didn't see anyone with guns in that crowd

If you guys will remember correctly, the French were attacked last week, and they weren't the only ones. What we are seeing here may be the civilians that were also attacked at that time. It's really distressing to watch everyone blame the French first, when it is known they and the public were definately attacked at one point.

If the French did this, what's the explanation for them driving by so casually at the end of tape two, as the public looked on with no signs of displeasure?

I'd suggest that this pic be sent to all of the news folks with the question, "When will this be on your front page?"

Here's what a poster being held up says in the first video:

Attaquons
Stop!
Zone du saint esprit
Dieu Pere
Dieu Fils
Dieu -----
Jesus est Deja Present
Esprit Saint

Can anyone translate this into English?

The french are accused by the Ivory Coast government of protecting the muslim rebels.

It is very interesting that no guns are visible in the crowd. Also, they only burn one vehicle -- a UN truck.

The announce page lists it and I can download it from there. Try getting it from there. If that fails I give up.

The poster of this video wrote the words in CAPS. And in fact in the big old red state of Ohio - soldiers did in fact shoot into a crown of hostile civilians - and unlike in Africa - where guns are everywhere - no guns in the hands of civilians that were fired on at Kent state.

Many Americans know of the Boston Massacre where Red Coats fired into the crowd killing some. What few know is that one of our founding fathers defended the actions of the Red Coats and served as their lawyer and got them acquitted in a court of law.

"I don't think they're chanting "USA"..."

I'll say it again...I saw a news report several days ago on Australian TV that showed the protesters walking calmly along a street, carrying signs that said USA PLEASE HELP US!
The people looked just the same as those in the beginning of the video. Mixed ages, young and old, men, women and children. And not one of them was armed!

Pat Robertson accused Bush of defending Liberian Muslim rebels and forcing the Christian dictator to flee.

BS. I lived in the bush in Africa. The french are the uncivilized, the Africans are much more polite and friendly.
