You are mistaken. France sent a sizeable contingent during GWI, including 18,000 troops, 60 combat aircraft, 120 helicopters, 40 tanks, 100 armored vehicles, 1 missile cruiser, 3 destroyers, 4 frigates.

The French forces were also among the first into combat, the first to secure their objectives and were widely regarded as some of the best in whole operation.

I was refering more to when the French 'got onboard' not the level of their participation at the end.

How do you explain the debacle in Somalia? That was Carteresque in its stupidity.

Somolia was a Xmas present from President Bush. Clinton inherited the Mogadishu occupation.

Bush senior did indeed send an army into Somalia. An army that achieved its ends. Clinton reduced the force size and hamstrung the troops with PC bull**** while nation-building.

Bush created a ****storm... Clinton fixed it.

Thank you for your answer. Gepap take note!

But would Kerry act against a perceived threat i.e. some new fundamentalist Iranian Mullahs' vow to build nuclear weapons for the Jihad against america and intel says they're doing it.

AAARRRGH!!!

If you are stupid enough to think that any president would od nothing after being attacked by a foreing power or terrosit group then you are a fool of Nedian levels!

Whast the hell wouyld Bush do in the situation you outliner? Fly in and drop himself rambo style and single handedly take out the iranian military?!

Sorry, sava may be willing to answer stupid questions, but that is sava, not me.

Joh Kerry got out of the navy early by request. His request was based on an obscure rule that said that three time purple heart winners were entitled to immediate discharge.

Kerry suffered minor wounds on all three ocasions. Missed only two days of duty from all three combined. And, this he felt, entitled him to a discharge.

After which he went straight to work distorting the popular view of the war, including gross distortions of the conduct of the American servicemen.

Kerry's testimony before Congress aside, he marched in tandum with many notable socialists under the flags of North Vietnam, China, and Russia.

When Kerry was a kid he used to sail with President Kennedy. Kennedy, as you know, was the skipper of a patrol boat in WW2.

Kerry pursued a similar command so that he could manufacture a war record he could base a campaign on.
And he was sucessful.

JFKerry, the people's friend.

The French "got onboard" almost immediately, and were among the first to send naval and ground forces to the region. They pushed hard for a diplomatic solution, but had no qualms about using force if that route failed.

Clinton did more against terrorism between 1998 and 2000 than Bush has done in 3 years.

During the Clinton years:

October 12, 2000: 17 American sailors are killed and 39 other wounded when a suicide bomber attacks USS Cole in Yemen's Aden harbour.


August 7, 1998: Twin bombings at the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, kill 224 people and wound thousands of others.


June 1996: 19 Americans killed and 500 people injured followng a bomb blast at the U.S. barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.


November 13, 1995: A bomb at U.S. military headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, kills five U.S. service personnel.


April 19, 1995: A truck bomb at the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, kills 168 and wounds more than 500 others.


February 26, 1993: Terrorist bombers strike the World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000 others.


Any idea what our responses were to all that?

If elected president, would Kerry do anything concrete if the USA was threatened/attacked or would we back to the Clintonian "fire a couple of missles and pretend like the problem has gone away".

I think the answer can be found in his past behavior:

1. He will by some other vet's medals and throw them over a fence.
2. He will tell Congress that American servicemen routinely commit atrocities.
3. He will agitate toward the goal of having American support pulled out so that the bad guys can gain ground.
