Isn't this the same French abandonment scenario like in1959, that left the United States holding the bag in South Vietnam?
France left Indochina in 1954 after a COLONIAL war.
You choose to go there by yourself because of the COLD war.
Please, read back your history books.
Condescension from the less educated American people is very annoying to us. We all know that you're very proud of being "the greatest nation in the world" with the strongest armed forces. I spent a few months at West Point and had the opportunity to appreciate your superiority complex. Stop despising your allies. Stop polluting the internet with the WW2, Indochina war ignorant comments... First, take history lessons, not watching Fox news but in a real book.

The era of colonialism and upper class is long gone
@ Jeff Frank, sure looks like it dont it?
Absolutely it was France's intent from the beginning. Now with our presence & drone bases, their main source of uranium from neighboring Niger is in safe hands.
The current popular ploy. Raise the 'Islamists" (whatever that is supposed to mean) red flag and then do to the country as you will getting on with your agenda.
This shows the success of the War on Terror, which would continue to have a long lasting effect. French went in, took out the Islamist leader, banged them up real good and are able to get out in such a short time. Islamists are on the run again. Good job.
Hahahaha. Jeff frank got CHECKED
'Success of '
war on terror'??
Sure the world continues reelin under the terrors of this 'war on terror'.
Long lasting effects, for sure. For decades to come. The greatest threat to our national security – Wars.
read the take on this so called 'war on terror' by Washington's top thinker on these matters Gregory D.Foster.
As for France's incursion in Mali. According to our own defense analysts ,we would need to be there for decades. Add another festering sore now in Africa. Success ??
