Sarko surrenders, preemptively

I guess that's the way one courts the French electorate -- the candidates must outdo each other in announcing how much faster they will surrender to the head-hackers. The Versailles vote is all sewn up, yes?

He's afraid all the Bayrouistes will go with Sego. It's good politics, probably. I'll be happy with him if he cleans up the banlieues. France has no business cleaning up the world when it's a cesspool on its own.

Does France still have an Army? All this business about withdrawing or not sounds silly to me -- as if France can still affect militarily anything. When was the last time they did? 1918?

Right. What's the moral issue? Their boys won't be out there getting all morally Pepeesque and switching to the Taliban side. Still, I stand by my analysis. They have no business out there.

Hmmm... OK, then, what should the French do -- that is, besides eating cheese, drinking red wine, and waiting for Godot?

Sounds like a fun plan if you're an effete Eurotype wondering if you exist.

For once, we all agree: y'all are doing such a fantastic job at controlling your plethora of conflicts, you really ought to be given the opportunity to handle this one on your own.

Good idea. Maybe the French ought to get out of Hezbollahbanon, too. They're on Nasrallah's side.
