The West African Crisis - Mali

BBC News: Reports that the UK Coalition Government is sending 330 UK military personnel to West Africa, with 40 going to Mali. 

Lets Get Real:

When this blog hears military advisers it thinks Vietnam War in the early years, as this blog stated in a tweet, this is VERY bad idea, the French so far have given us nothing so they can secure and deal problems arise form their colonial past.    The terror threat is real folks, and France as a major power should not need help from the UK and the US, not after the French Government stabbed the UK in the back over Iraq.   Thus far the French forces have been successful, it wont last folks, the Arab Spring has thrown the chess game of the region on the floor and the pieces have been taken up by Al Qaeda and those terror networks with links to the group.    The fall of Gaddafi of Libya has released Islamic terrorists back on to the street, but also given them access to weapons.   This latest action by the UK Government will not end well folks, lets see the public reaction should any UK Soldiers be killed in Western Africa due to this action.
