#3 Steve, if nothing else the Legion is definitely not a bunch of wussies, nonetheless they are still bound an oath to the French govt, which means the PANSIES in office tell them where to go and die.

#5 Camp Lemonier was an abandoned FFL base that was taken over by the Americans at the same time as the Iraq invasion. Google for Joint Task Force-Horn Of Africa (JTF-HOA). It's worth checking out: interagency, international, joint, military, successful. Looks like they are still getting things done.

#8 I remember when the Lefties in my circle asked me how countries like Eritrea and Djibouti could help out the Coalition of the Willing in WOT. (They're not France and Germany!) Now we know.
