Isn't the "UN" force 80% American? Yeah, good luck getting those forces France...
Many there resent the French troops, suspecting them of siding with rebels, even though the peacekeepers have protected government troops in the past. France has about 4,000 troops in Ivory Coast, and a separate U.N. peacekeeping force numbers around 6,000.
A French defense ministry spokesman said on condition of anonymity that the United States had shown "great understanding about France's concerns in Ivory Coast." But he did not know whether U.S. military assistance had been sought.
The U.N. force includes thousands of West African troops, with the rest coming from an array of contributing nations, none American.
the entire Ivory Coast air force ? two Russian-made Sukhoi jets used in the bombing and five helicopter gunships.

What the hell are you talking about? The majority of UN peacekeeping missions are undertaken by nations such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh

Wow, your reading skills are impressive.
I agree that we can't be bothered to lend a hand there. The French couldn't be bothered to lend a hand in Iraq. But that's a little different because the liberation of Iraq meant an end to their shady business deals with Saddam.Apparently, we can't be bothered to lend a hand there.
Feel free to resume mindless French hating...k?

Yeah, the anti-French jokes aren't funny anymore. Mindless French hater :roll:Originally posted by: Insane3D

They are interjecting in a civil war, not starting another one.
*ducks for cover due from over zealous republicans*
"Everybody get your Frenchman!" young men screamed to each other, swinging machetes.
