Stardate 20011007.1532 (On Screen): French Defense Minister Alain Richard said on Sunday that French participation in U.S. attacks on Afghanistan was "a question of days." I wonder what he means by "participation." I hope he doesn't mean that France is going to send
a second frigate. Bombers would be far more useful, under the circumstances.
(discuss)Update: President Chirac says that French troops will get involved. As to how much information they were given, they were informed of the attack about an hour before it began, which clearly means they were not in the loop for planning it.
