#1 Based on my 2 years in W. Africa, the French are good partners and VERY willing to go unilateral as needed.

#2 Billy:

Not to put you on the spot or at risk for your next full-scope, but certainly would like to get your thoughts re: this BMG article from yesterday.

#3 Mr. B - it is my understanding that all the BMG guards left their posts that night. Likely left the gate open on their way out.

I can't speak to the belt-fed asshatery at State vis a vis hiring this company other than to say the fish stinks from the head.

If they want to fry me on a SSBI for that then they can piss off.

#5 It appears the Frenchies struck their flag, you know, the white flours-de-lies on the white background.
