Hmm... the last time two fascist/socialist/statist world powers worked together to wage war against a sovereign nation entrenched in civil war... sounds very... Napoleonic? Hilteric? Mussolinic?

Hollande is one of the worst socialist leaders of France among a slew of socialist leaders of France. He has that in common with Obama, who is the worst of all socialist Presidents we have had in this Country. I would say the worst President we have ever had bar none, even Jimmah Carter, and that’s saying something.

Both Hollande and Obama need to divert attention away from their regimes; however, if they think this is the way to do it, against the will of their own people, they are in for a rude awakening and a further plummet in their polls, while taking their respective parties down with them.

More socialists to come because of this...

(Reuters) In a humiliating defeat for the British leader likely to damage Cameron's hopes of being re-elected in 2015 and set back traditionally strong U.S.-UK relations, parliament defied Cameron by 285 to 272 votes.

Commentators said it was the first time a British prime minister had lost a vote on war since 1782, when parliament effectively conceded American independence by voting against further fighting to crush the colony's rebellion.

You heat up the world nearer to your hearts desire, and if more than a few people get crushed underneath.....what difference does it make?

Now as strange as it sounds, but I’d be glad to let France take the lead on this. They’ve done a good job fighting jihadists in Mali, and they were also first to strike Qaddafi. Hollande is a socialist, but so is Ehud Barak. I’d rather have a socialist who knows how to fight jihadists running a campaign than a socialist who is more concerned about his golf game.

The sight of the U.S. taking military action in the company of France—if that happens–but not the U.K., would be a shock to say the least.

It is simply AMAZING to me how much outcry there was from the left here in this country and from France during the run up to the Iraq War, and now, France is perfectly fine with attacking Libya and now Syria.

France Backs U.S. on Syria Action

Of course there isn't a darned thing they can do to contribute to the attack but they're willing to stand stalwartly behind us when we do. Thanks a lot.

Like Obama, Hollande desperately needs a distraction from his horrible lack of competence.

Heard any mention of Benghazi or the IRS corruption lately?

Distractions work.

Yet, they are both too stupid & full of themselves that they fail to realize there could be serious consequences for both countries & the world for this folly.

How does French law work? Does Hoande require legislative support?

I think that the Libyan adventure was as bogus as they come. Khaddhafi had become docile in the international arena although totalitarian at home. I think he knew too much about the Obama agenda and was murdered as a result in order to bury his knowledge.
