Given our general demeanor towards the French in Indochina (were we gave them aid but also undermined them politically), Suez (were we basically demanded they and the Brits retreat) or Algeria, were we gave the French little and tepid support, even though they considered Ageria part of France (and in the end had to see about 1 million people with french citizenship leave their homes), the US is not the one to be speaking about Loyal allies. All those times we felt the French were wrong and were not afraid to confront them about it: I don;t see why the French, with Lybia or Iraq, should not feel if they think we are wrong, it is not their duty to "submarine us".
Interestingly enough, i believe DAVOUT was a conscript in Algeria.
