French may fire on Israeli Overflights!!??

As Macker would say...this is from the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot file.

HT To Flopping Aces

After injecting themselves into the Lebanon crisis and making all kinds of promises they didn’t intend to keep, France and the United Nations have made it explicitly clear that they will not use force to disarm Hizballah, or to prevent weapons from being smuggled in from Syria.

But Israeli Air Force overflights, to keep watch over the terrorists? Now there’s something the French are willing to fight against: Peretz: French UNIFIL say will fire at IAF overflights. (Hat tip: Shiplord Kirel.)

Commanders of the French contingent of the United Nations force in Lebanon have warned that they might have to open fire if Israel Air Force warplanes continue their overflights in Lebanon, Defense Minister Amir Peretz told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday.

Peretz said that nevertheless, Israel would continue to patrol the skies over Lebanon as long as United Nations resolution 1701 remained unfilfilled, adding that such operations were critical for the country’s security, especially as the abducted IDF soldiers remain in Hezbollah custody and the transfer of arms continue.

Over the past few days, Peretz said, Israel had gathered clear evidence that Syria was transfering arms and ammunition to Lebanon, meaning that the embargo imposed by UN Resolution 1701 was not being completely enforced.

Ok.....what kind of IDIOCY is this?

The French wont DISARM Hezbollah, but they will fire on the Israelis?

WHAT THE HELL ARE THE FRENCH GOOD FOR BESIDES PRODUCING THE FINEST IN LINEN WHITE SURRENDER FLAGS?

I suspect that the ONLY reason the French are comfortable firing on the IDF is because they are REASONABLY certain that the IDF wont fire back....Lets hope Israel targets and destroys ANY forces firing on them.

I say let Israel take care of the business that needs taken care of, remove the Useless Nations from the area and then turn our backs while Israel reclaims what is theirs and takes out these goons.

But then I am just one opinion...RIGHT?
