"France says it will strengthen presence in Afghanistan" by Katrin Bennhold, International Herald Tribune | September 23, 2008
PARIS - One month after 10 French soldiers died in a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan, the government announced yesterday that it would reinforce its presence there, sending more troops and better equipment despite the outpouring of anguish over the deaths.
Once more we get ANOTHER GOD-DAMNED LIE from the shit Zionist MSM!!!
"French survivors of the battle quoted in Le Monde yesterday said French soldiers were hit by friendly fire from NATO aircraft trying to free them, and that the troops waited four hours for reinforcements."
There have been several reports - in the media and from leftist opposition politicians - that French troops were poorly equipped for their deployment in the rugged mountains east of Kabul.
Uh-oh! The SAME THING with the U.S.!!
That's what happens when you have MASS-MURDERING WAR LOOTERS in charge!!!!!!
But Prime Minister Francois Fillon said during a debate in Parliament on the Afghan deployment that the government was more determined than ever to stay. "The president of the republic and government have learned the lesson from this murderous ambush," Fillon said in the National Assembly.
So what does that mean? The French won't be KILLING THEIR OWN TROOPS?
And how do the FRENCH PEOPLE FEEL about this?
A poll by the BVA institute published in the weekly L'Express Sept. 16 suggested nearly two in three French wanted their soldiers to come home.
Like Americans and like ALL PEOPLES AROUND the WORLD!!!!
Lawmakers later voted, 343 to 210, to keep the French military operation in place - a reflection of the strong majority held by the conservative bloc of President Nicolas Sarkozy.
I would suggest a SECOND BASTILLE DAY for the French people!!!!!
