French Almost Fire on Israeli Jets, Ignore Terrorists

Looks like the French are fighting the war on terrorism in that distinctly French way. No, not by running away. Against Israel.

They claim the shots were almost fired because of repeated Israeli violations of the cease fire agreement. No word yet on when France will begin to implement the most important portion of that agreement: disarming Hezbollah.

My guess? Never.

YNet:

French United Nations troops were "two seconds" away recently from firing at Israeli aircraft diving towards their position in southern Lebanon , Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said in parliament.

"Two seconds later there would have been a shot against the aircraft which were directly menacing our forces," Alliot-Marie said.

Israel Matzav speculates that the Fwenchies have left Southern Lebanon altogether.

I dunno. They seem like they feel right at home surrounded by Jew-hating terrorists.
