BBC News: Reports that the French have denied a report from the Mali Government that the Central town of Konna had been retaken by the Mali Government forces.
Lets Get Real:
If the France and the Mali Governments can not agree on the press line how are they doing on the military front, it seems that the Mali Government forces from the article can not follow through, in other words the like South Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan the Central Government needs outside help, the French are it, its their colonial backyard, will Paris send in more ground troops as to follow through the successful French air strikes, how long and it will come folks before the US and the UK are asked for Special Forces, if they are need it should be a limited force of the UK's SAS and the US Delta Forces, its a lot of sand folks, the size of Spain under the control of the Al Qaeda linked terrorists. The French should be allowed to sink or swim on their own for a time, just a limited time, if nothing else to show them that when an ally calls for help you do not get on your high horse, because you might need that ally in the future, and they might not be that keen to help. One is sure that the Oval is leading from behind again, that is his character! Mali could get very bloody soon folks, lets hope the UK and the US do not bleed for French colonial history.
