As I shifted into 5th gear I couldn't remember a word she said!
I can believe it. Cheaper and easier than fighting them.
Bummer about the French Troops.....
How bout this video link of a bunch of insurgents blowing themselves up while messing around with an IED.....

I love it......
"No, No Aknod, you don't push THAT button to make it go off, you push THIS....BAM"
Yeah, priceless is right.
Not suprised by the French putting a limit on either. Why send more guys when the dude at the top of the main force is sending mixed signals himself. Really a little common sense from the French on this one. Figure out if you are going to Win, Lose or Go Home. Then do it. Until then, commit to nothing.
Nice!
That's sad about the French troops. I really hope the article about bribing is not true.
Didn't the Italians leave Iraq after paying a large ransom for a captured journalist

I don't get the 'make sure you inform your Allies' bit
what do they think the Taleban are spending this money on?
You've got to wonder how many Allied soldiers have been killed with weapons bought with Italian money
Madness, if they've got no stomach for a fight, they should stay out of it.
I'm afraid that is a lesson that has to be re-learned every other generation.

The thing about this video that really got me was how clearly it shows how utterly antiethical the worldview of the Taliban types is from ours. The Apache pilots are restrained from taking immediate action because of the presence of the child. The insurgents, OTOH, think nothing of exposing a child to a situation that they know is inherently extremely dangerous.
Those people live in a completely different world from ours...

With that president, it sure ain't no surprise after all.
"Ich bitte um Ausrüstung meines Geschwaders mit Spitfires." Adolf Galland, "Die Ersten und die Letzten".
And it also shows the compassion of the solider's serving over there from all the nations. The one soldier is screaming for this kid to get the hell out of there, and is very relieved when he does, even though this young person obviously had ties to the insurgents messing with the bomb, they still wanted him to be safe.

Nice video!
Pillage, then burn.
Argue not with dragons, for thou art crunchy and go well on toast.
I thought they left after a journalist was killed by a US checkpoint, because the journalist was not smart enough to stop at the checkpoint. After that they blamed the soldiers at the checkpoint, even though they have strict orders to fire on anyone trying to run the checkpoint.
