France ‘the new US’ with Sarkozy as chief warmonger

The Globalists are having to use France and the UK to do their dirty work now. The Rebels are being run by Al Quaeda ( which is frn from the Pentagon and Langley)and if they win they will set up a puppet gov under the Muslim Brotherhood (also CIA run). This is our new fascist World Government in action.

Sarkozy, Cameron, Obama, Bush, Blair it does not matter. They have had special forces in Libya for months now. They have thousands of Marines sitting off shore ready to invade, sorry special advisors. When they have taken our Libya it will be Syria and the small gulf states.

After that they will have their war with Iran.

I'm a french socialits and so a poplitical opponent of Sarkozy. But I support the french interventions in Libya and Ivory coast, under a UN mandate, to prevent two dictators to slaughter their own population. Of course, France tries also to preserve its own interests.

But how what can reasonably think that Sarkozy could improve his approval rate inFrance, thnaks to the french military interventions ? Nnonsense ! If Sarkozy is unpupular in France, it's becasue of his domestic policy on solial and economic issues !

The french diplomacy had a poor response about Tunisia, but I don't see why a national consensus could not be reached about Libya and Ivory Coast, two crisis that were correctly treated by the french government.

I cannot bezlieve some of these posts. There would be no war in Ivory Coast if not for France. It backed the 2002 coup, intervened on the side of the rebels, help rig the elections and is now creating a situation where more civilians are being killed in a week than during the whole civil war and all of this for imperial and electoral goals.

All they ahd to do was recount the vote like in Haiti. We will also find that those Sarkozy is fighting for in Egypt are royalists and islamic fundamentalists even if Qaddafi is a screwball. It is not our fight.

As for the post on Rwanda, lets not forget that the genocide would not have happened if not for French policy in the country. It seems most of the commentators here are happy with the reporting which is biased in favor of France and its puppet, the UN but as soon as someone asks other questions, in typical conservative hypocrcy, they scream bias.

Stop the war. Start the talks. Gbagbo is an African hero.

France intervening in Ivory Coast and Libya is good as it relieves the people from a cruel dictatorship ,tyranny and unnecessary suffering.Better than going into Iraq.But go the full distance and remove the regimes and give the people achance to have a democratic leaders governing them

Dear Sophie, I find your "journalism" a bit amusing. When one chooses to run for leader of a free nation, there come responsibilities. I believe the France's involvement in both Lybia and Ivory Coast are both moral and necessary. I do find your statement of warmongering a bit insulting. Sometimes, a president must send troops in harms way. It is easier to judge and critize those from the sidelines. I have disagreed with the decision of IRAQ, but not "Desert Storm". Free nations must do what they must to protect countries when they can. You need to review your history.

Of course he has the 2012 presidential elections in mind. He has to make it possible, vis-à-vis the xenophobia and ultra-nationalist/vainglorious propaganda of Marine le Pen's Front National (FN), for the sub-Saharan Africans and North Africans to not have to flee to France, and for those already in France, to be able to return home and develop their homelands, for the better.

everyone knows that there are 78 countries in the world with the same situation like libya, having rulers that are ruling from 30 to 40 years. but why they select libya why they are not speaking about the civilians and for democracy in behrain.
this war is again for oil and after few days or weak we will have the results.
shame on your principals for democracy

I do not even like Sarkozy and I am on his side in this!!!!

What will "come back to haunt Sarkozy"? Option 1 -- Help NATO in removing Ghadaffi; Option 2 -- Do nothing and let Ghadaffi kills thousands of unarmed civilians using mercenaries, bombing, tanks, and other heavy equipment. Why is this called "warmongering"? Whoever wrote this article should ask the mothers in Libya who had their children bombed by Ghadaff. The use of the term "warmonger" is little more than tasteless propaganda.

I will to death defend France policy.Honestly we do not want genocide of the Rwanda Magnitude while pple fold their hands

Whatever Mr. Sarkozy's possible ulterior motives in ordering French military interventions in Libya and Cote d"Ivoire, I must, with reluctance, express approval. In both cases France is acting in defense of civilians who have been at the mercy of forces over which they have no control. The case for intervention in Libya was clear and has garnered broad support. Would Mr. Sarkozy's critics be voicing approval for his inaction had he abstained from acting and Mr. Gaddafi had crushed the Libyan opposition, with thousands of casualties and a vicious dictatorship left in place? Similarly, the case for taking action against the murderous behavior of Gbagbo's troops was strong. Would the critics be cheering him had he responded negatively to the UN Secretary General's request for assistance in Abidjan?

I am no admirer of Mr. Sarkozy, and I have been highly critical of his rightist policies. However, when (i believe) he is doing the right thing, I think I should admit it and applaud his decisions.
