France?s Defense Ministry Alain Richard confirmed Monday that French special forces had joined British and U.S. units conducting reconnaissance and other missions inside Afghanistan.

Isn't it amazing how we told Nato that we'd handle the military side of this war. All we wanted was for them to close their borders and support us.

Looks like England and Canada aren't the only countries that want a piece o bin laden. I hope there is enough of him to go around after we get done.

Welcome aboard France and all the other countries that are chipping in.

The more the merrier:D

I'm impressed the French are willing to help, they're pretty impartial to anything that doesn't affect them personally.

Blair is Prime Minister of the UK.

Great Britain is England, Wales and Scotland
UK is Great Britain and Northern Ireland
British Isles is UK and Republic of Ireland and other small crappy islands.

GB and UK are political regions and British Isles is geographical.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can you play as a GIGN in Counterstrike?

That is the UK SAS model. The French GIGN one is the one with polizei (spelling on that has to be off) on his back.

No, it is not. Start up Counter-Strike, and move your cursor over Number 4 on the CT Roster.

I was referring to that part of your statement. You are incorrect.
