I'm no defender of the ungrateful turncoat terror sympathizers known as the French, but I am a little skeptical about video footage of the battlefield these days. No apparent atrocity took place in the Fallujah video, and I am not comparing the two videos. This video is different because we can see civilians being murdered on this tape, but I had trouble determining what was happening in this video. We cannot really tell if militants started the shooting and the French responded, or if the French were just randomly shooting civilians. The tape does not clearly show the French killing civilians, and it seems possible that guerillas killed the civilians in the process of attacking the French. The possibility also exists that the French were attacked and reclessly fired back, which would be somewhat more explainable than the deliberate killing of innocent people. I don't need any more evidence to despise the French, but I would like to know what did happen in this video. I agree that it looks like the French are probably murdering civilians, but the video is inconclusive. Does anyone have any more info on this situation?

What are you kidding me? You clearly see people fleeing form the tanks. You clearly see NO guns on anyone in the video. You clearly hear gun fire and tons of people screaming. What more do you need to hear and see?
