#1 Obviously the only viable course of action is for France to refer the matter to the UN Security Council and await permission to act from Russia, China, Britain and the United States.

#2 I see that the phrase 'Hanging Chad' has a different meaning in France.

In or out Mr. Sarkozy. Isn't the opposition leader (Lol Mohamed Shawa?)who boycotted the election part of a larger islamic court type organization? If so I feel this is part of the continued expansion of said groups to capture oil reserves as Somolia was needed as a port to export. Passed off as la Francafrique does not make sense as anything other than an excuse as they are talking base in the Middle East. My advice is either run away from a tough position where is may not even be possible to reinforce with troops and equipment for weeks or get in there now with what you got (air cover for AU forces) and make the time for reinforcements. Sitting there indecisive looks shitty and endangers your troops.
