It seems that some of the training will be of Nigerian soldiers and insofar as Nigeria was once a British colony, perhaps we have some moral responsibility there. Certainly Nigeria has the same problem as Mali with Islamic terrorists in the more distant parts, so how much assistance they will be able to give in Mali is questionable.<br />Of course, one question we should ask the French is about the nature of support that they would be prepared to give the UK if push becomes shove in the Falklands.English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-37758555681658875372013-01-30T14:58:01.544+00:002013-01-30T14:58:01.544+00:00As I was saying...

The insurgents are exactly that; not Malians, they have come in from the Maghreb's confusion,. bearing arms from the Maghreb.<br /><br />2. The West African Muslim is a very different being from your Al Qaeda crazy. Contrast Ali Farka Toure with the one-eyed bastard who organised the Algerian gas depot hostage taking. Crazies of that type are not welcome in West Africa, but the people themselves do not have the means to resist crazies. <br /><br />It's not in our interests to prolong our stay in Afghanistan; it was always doomed - the country, as is Pakistan, is a failed state. Rather fence them off and leave them to kill each other do. It's what crazy Muslims do, and they revel in it.<br /><br />http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/index.html#attacks<br /><br />It IS in our interest to blat any crazies closer to home. Me? I'd give us much to the French in the way of armaments that they need, and go wipe these bastards out. Show them we mean business, as the Algerians did so very clearly.Elby the Beserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060519682739666145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-35685069498810660902013-01-30T14:42:42.460+00:002013-01-30T14:42:42.460+00:00If they are well dug in, then a few fuel-air bombs...If they are well dug in, then a few fuel-air bombs will take care of them.Dr Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176521760477086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-63980947141493606792013-01-30T14:34:34.437+00:002013-01-30T14:34:34.437+00:00There's also the sentinel spy plane and the ro...There's also the sentinel spy plane and the ro ro ferry ( we scrapped 2 of these last year.)<br />Someone on another blog said the UK troops were being sent to help prevent the French surrendering too early but that sounds far fetched.<br />At least it will help to keep the lights on as we switch to windmills for our power. The French get 70% of their uranium from neighbouring Niger and it's been a bit dodgy there for a while. We get a top up from the French interconnector when it's not windy or too windy and this is nuclear power.<br />So it's a good move for us.<br />Plus it will help to keep an eye on the Chinese who seem to be busy in Africa.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987287543554842489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-20073122457349413812013-01-30T13:36:47.191+00:002013-01-30T13:36:47.191+00:00guarantee they won't be sending their own kids...guarantee they won't be sending their own kids to be maimed & murdered<br />but then you don't need me to tell you why things like this happen ;)<br /><br />here's what Belgian MP LAURENT LOUIS thinks about it all:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkzXTgslFNEdognamedbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123316205972254808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-40749169501393250362013-01-30T12:57:43.864+00:002013-01-30T12:57:43.864+00:00I despair too JRB.
