If we spend a bunch of money, then AQ will leave Mali.
And then Mali will be a really great place.
I’m sure of it.
Uh-huh.

Zero will be letting the Islamic brotherhood know how many, where/when, and how they’re armed.

I agree. I mean what if the U.S. said no? What would they do? No choice but to rely on Air France to ferry troops and supplies into Mali?
To: Paladin2
The French military lacks heavy-lift military transports like the C-17. All they have are light or medium ones. Hence why they asked the British and Canadians to loan their C-17s to the effort in Mali, and had to lease Antonov-124s from Russia.

Why not use one of them there Airbuses? Sun Tse might have said "The wise general does not have to depend on a third country to carry his troops to battle while fighting someone else's civil war. This is a sign that he works for an incompetent ruler."

The Left was critical of George W. Bush, claiming "he got us into a war without paying for it..."
Well, Mr. Obama, how are we paying for this mission?

The French have spent eleven years in Afghanistan and lost 86 men fighting our war by our side. Feel free to question their judgement in getting involved in African wars but I think it’s time to retire the “French = chicken” jokes.

That would be part of the ‘WOT’. The never ending bill and ‘war’. And, we still haven’t paid for it yet.
