Should have left it to the frenchies

IIRC the French helped a rebellious British colony gain its independence from us. Can't quite remember which colony it was though, but I am sure they are eternally grateful to their benefactors, and celebrate this friendship every day.

Kind of like those celebrations that go on daily throughout the streets of Paris for the liberators of France? Who not only once but twice removed the enemies of the French people from French soil. There must be alot of celebrating between those 2.

As for the conspiracy theorists main topic. If a sniper would have had him in his sites he would have shot. Not only because Osama Bum Laden is one of the sickest creatures on this earth, but because there is also a 25 million dollar reward for the person who brings him down. That in and of itself is reason enough for the sniper to shoot and ask questions later. Not to mention the snipers mission was to kill him in the first place.

~Also "French Fries" were created in Belgium. Though the French have also donated very strange porn to the world.

I thought they'd by and large given up the "scorn the Brits" thing...? Given those two, that amounts to the same thing.

I have a proposal that will settle the dispute between the French and the Americans. Since they've helped each other in the past, they are in debt to each other. To dispel this moral debt, how about reversing the actions that led to these debts? Let France be occupied by the Germans once more, and let America return to being a British colony. This time, give the damn colonials representation (I recommend 50 MPs in Westminster, 1 for each province) before taxing the hell out of them. No taxation without representation? We'll give you both.

What units does France have deployed in Afghanistan right now? I'm just wondering if the Foreign Legion is there and if so what is its total strength in theater?

Putting aside the usual stereotypes regarding French military effectiveness the Foreign Legion is no joke, they're first rate and hardcore as hell.

PARIS - As violence mounts in Afghanistan, France is pulling 200 of its best soldiers out. But military officials here insist France remains fully committed, with 1,100 troops still based in Kabul.

So hardcore they leave when the fighting gets tough.
