As far as I know the foreign legion is just plain part of the french army. French navy commandos also perform such "crap-details drawing" (mind: I just LOVE your words) very often. Both corps are currently playing football with the natives in the stinking streets of Kabul

@don corleone: "acknowledging reality"? What do you mean. Do you mean that countries that refused to follow the US in their bloody adventure should bend and apologise?

Besides that, your last statement is nice about Sarko... but "just before the conflict is externally resolved"? Really?
