French PM questions US hesitations over northeast Syria
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] La Belle France’s prime minister defended his country’s policy in northeastern Syria on Tuesday saying that, unlike US hesitations, Gay Paree’ priority remained to defeat ISIS
...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
and preserve Kurdish-led forces fighting the terrorist organization.

The US decision to withdraw from northeastern Syria leaving The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
to launch an offensive against Kurdish snuffies in the region has rattled allies, including La Belle France, one of Washington’s main partners in the US-led coalition fighting ISIS.

Responding in parliament to criticism of the French government from some opposition politicians for not publicly defending Kurdish forces in the face of a possible Ottoman Turkish offensive, Edouard Philippe said Gay Paree had not wavered on its policy unlike Washington.

"The fight against ISIS (ISIS) is not over and continues alongside the (Kurdish-led) Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)," Phillipe told politicians.

"Saying things with constancy and coherence is preferable to reacting to obvious hesitations from certain players notably our American friends," Philippe said, alluding to differences in the US administration.

#4 The French sit in judgment above
But remind us, when push comes to shove,
The Gauls who maligned us
Will stand tall behind us;
It's just an unspeakable love.
