That's Why It Was Successful
The French are whining that they were kept in the dark about Libya.
Too bad we couldn't have kept them in the dark about Iraq. We might have fixed things there a lot sooner.

Le Spin, C'est Nous
Excerpt: The French have discovered that looking in from the outside on the Libya deal makes them appear less than dominant in foreign affairs: Dominique de Villepin, the foreign minister, took his hat off to London and Washington's "exemplary" diplomatic efforts

Sorry about the multiple pings, Rand -- I guess I shouldn't use Trackback until I've had my morning cup of coffee.

This would be the French who had an airliner hijacked by Lybians who then tried to fly it into the Eifel Tower and blow it up?
You think they might still be pissed with "Mad Dog"?
Interestingly, it goes to show what effect 20 years in the economic wilderness has on even the most intransigent nutters.

Commentators also agreed that the deal has weakened France's hand in compensation talks over the 1989 bombing of a French passenger plane that killed 170.
Love the way these things get burried.
Shame on those Frenchies!

Feel lucky that it was only two pings. I occasionally machine gun more than that. There's some kind of problem with trackback--it's not caffeine related.
