The French have a handicap; they do not have the training, resources, money, and assets in their military the same as Americans. They have been forced to make due with less and they have still managed to out perform us in some ways. The French military is a force that commands the respect of everyone else in the world. I can’t imagine what they would look like, and how truly incredible a force they could be, if they had the same training, resources, and assets. These past few months have truly opened my eyes and corrected a few misconceptions I’ve had about the French as an American. Although they are not as big as us and sound funny when they talk I am truly grateful to have had this opportunity, and I am honored to call these men my comrades and friends.

Je suis pas voisin d’Homard, j’ai dû faire huit heures de vol pour aller me faire la teuf avec lui.

« le NYT est trop sympa avec Mr Karzaï »
Non, a coup de bombes, tout comme le font les israeliens avec les clébars qu’ils ont pour voisins.

Un article dans le NY Time sur la corruption du narco gouvernement de Mr Karzaï…
NB : en général, le NYT est trop sympa avec Mr Karzaï alors qu´il faudrait lui tirer dessus à boulets rouges…

Homard est un gaillard, j’ai pris des bourrées mémorables avec lui à Kaboul, il tient l’alcool le bougre, il faut le voir quand il est cuit.

Rappelons Homard, c’est lui qu’on devrait placer à la tête de l’Afghanistan.

Harper, pourtant toutou de Bush, voit enfin(?) clair :
Canada PM Harper: Allies Can’t Win in Afghanistan
Because, as it turns out, Prime Minister Harper thinks victory for the allies in Afghanistan is simply not going to happen. In a fascinating and surprisingly candid interview with CNN’s ever-thoughtful Fareed Zakaria on « GPS, » here’s what the leader of the United States’ closest military ally there said:
« In fact, my own judgment, Fareed, is, quite frankly, we are not going to ever defeat the insurgency. »
Zakaria asked Harper his response if Obama sought additional Canadian forces or a combat mission extension.Here’s what Harper replied:
« If President Obama were to ask me that question, I would have a question back for him. And that question would be: What is your plan to leave Afghanistan to the Afghans, so they can govern it?
(LOL : on aura tout vu : les afghans gouverner l´Afghanistan ! De quoi rendre malade Letel)
Because there are enormous risks there for us and enormous challenges. And I’m not saying we cannot improve things. But if we think — our experience has taught us, if we think that we are going to govern Afghanistan for the Afghans, or over the long term be responsible for day-to-day security in Afghanistan, and see that country improve, we are mistaken.
And so, if — I welcome President Obama’s renewed commitment to Afghanistan, the fact that they’re sending a lot more American troops. We’re delighted to have them, especially in Kandahar, where we need the partner.
But over the long haul, if President Obama wants anybody to do more, I would ask very hard questions about what is the strategy for success and for an eventual departure? »
