the boring thing is that the French are not able to behave any other way, they don't even pretend
it is boring because it happens every single time
we joke about spineless weasels, collabos etc., it could be nice, if the French finally surprised us
the French would like to be big power, but they don't even know what PRIDE and SELF-RESPECT is
this time it's again a shameless message to the Talibans: don't worry, if you kill enough of halfhearted "allies" the victory may be yours
Victory is Talibans
The surprise announcement last month that the U.S. and the Taliban could soon begin peace talks in the Gulf state of Qatar may have increased the chances of a negotiated settlement in Afghanistan.

all these many French excuses, why they have to surrender again ARE BORING as well
if you don't posses a will to fight and to keep your obligations as an ally, you may have the biggest army in Europe (as French army was in 1940) and still surrender as you do with such lightness

The mmost telling thing on theis thread is the absence of french posts. Running away has been a french tradition since 1940.
What disgust me is the inability of the USA to side with its "supposedly" true european allies. AAfghanistan is not winable on the long term if pakistan is not invaded.
Pakistan is an us ally so nothing will change.
Whatever..why am I wasting my time with a dumb jew like you.

martsy, and all the other americans:
France is withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2013, as French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced at the end of January after four French soldiers were killed by a member of the Afghan security forces. Now, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has gone one better: he told his NATO colleagues on Thursday in Brussels that he wanted US fighting troops out by mid-2013, with only support and training functions remaining.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen was quick to assure everyone that this was not a new strategy. Rasmussen said that Afghanistan's forces should be taking over responsibility for security in all the country's provinces by mid-2013.
