Mighty quiet on this subject
Ivory Coast Loyalists Confront French Troops
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,137887,00.html


I wonder where all the libs are?
France recolonizes and invades the Ivory Coast and kills it's citizens and not a peep of outrage is heard.
Tisk, tisk.
One might think the libs have double standards, or else are giant hypocrites.

SS, same applies to the Rep. They want to stop genocide (an excuse in Irag now) but isn't it Sudan or another country in Africa where a mass genocide is going on but we are not involved in it...why you ask

Sorry, I gotta take a page from the left's handbook here. How are Sudan and the Ivory Coast an immediate threat to us? If we should not have gone into Iraq for this reason we should not go in there either.

And where's the Holy UN at?

The UN is busy killing people in the Ivory Coast with France.

Oh, well, if the UN is doing it then it MUST be kosher. LOL!

It is nice to see the French finally found someone they can beat up.

What does this have to do with libs/cons or Dems/Reps???
Where is the outrage that you started a thread about this. I suppose you (SS) would be pissing and moaning if someone had started a thread expressing outrage OR support. You are just a pisser and a moaner.

In Ethiopia, the African Union upheld the U.N. and French intervention in Ivory Coast

Maybe we can get the French into the Sudan?

i would think the right should be happy that France is acting like a Western Empire?

Yes. Iraq vs USA is a much better match up.

It would be kind of funny if France got their ass kicked by a 3rd world country though. I imagine we'll end up bailing them out again...[sigh]

SS - mebbe you need to do a little more research on this subject before trying to use it as a political tool.

I mean you could look at the fact that the french troops are there to uphold a cxeasefire. That there are UN troops there as well. Or the fact that French troops helped move 100 American children to safety back in 2002.
And Nigal, America should maybe look at its own record as an ally before criticising others. American had always looked after American interests. One excaption could be Bosnia, but then many on the right weren't too happy about that were they?

How embarrasing. I hope we terminated those children for accepting help from those limpwristed cheese eating wusses.

Bosnia and more importantly, Kosovo.

Shooting down a country's entire air force is monitoring?

A) - they were destroyed on the ground.
B) - it was two jets and a few helicopters that made up the "entire airforce".
c) - the same jets had been used to drop bombs on French troops the previous day killing nine.

Sometimes peacekeepers get attacked. They do have a right to defend themselves.
