Sam the Sham declared "unlike the Brits they never gave a damn about multiculturalism or political correctness when it came to dealing with militant Islam." ?? Then why did Brigitte Bardot get convicted and fined, and maybe jailed for hate speech, because she criticized Moslems in France? "...my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims." Brigitte Bardot convicted for thought crimes and speech crimes and also see Bardot racism conviction upheld France has a huge and growing Muslim population and at one point there were more mosques being built than churches, or was it... more mosques in France than churches, as Bardot had complained.

where have i said french TROOPS are cowards. French troops are led by a civillian political leadership which is made up almost exclusively of cowards. If your leaders are cowards, you can't do much can you?

feel free to pointout where i may be wrong.

Cowards are not good allies.

You are a brave man, without need of Close Air Support.

seriously, i dont think french troops are particularly effective. Cowards are not good allies.

The inference being that French troops are ineffective because they are cowards.

Were American troops ineffective because Clinton was a coward?

Upon what basis do you evaluate the effectiveness of French troops in Afghanistan?

"Were American troops ineffective because Clinton was a coward? "

did we kill bin laden given how many opportinities clinton had? the military is quite useless if the civillian leadership is not there. Its like giving a monkey the best firearm and asking me to hit something.
