Stardate 20011117.0652 (On Screen): Now that the war is suddenly going well, France has decided to commit ten warplanes to the battle. I have four words to say about this:
Too little, too late. (discuss)What is this business of all the continental European nations suddenly rushing to make token commitments of men to the war now that it's suddenly going very well and looks as if it's going to be won? Where the hell were they all when the situation was still in doubt?
Update: Chirac says that France is going to win this war. Apparently those poor, bumbling Americans just couldn't take care of it and need the French to come in and win it for them with 10 jets. Or at least that's the impression you'd get from his speech: no sign in there of any indication that the US Air Force or US Navy might actually be doing anything in Afghanistan.
