The real problem here is that France is making noise about Syria to cloud their domestic crisis. Nothing like a good war and killing lots of defenseless civilians to distract the masses, eh? I fully expect other Security Council members to play the same game -- sacrificing Syria for their own domestic crimes and incompetence. We *all* lose when the UN gets involved. [/quote]
Original Message
BEIRUT (AP) -- France signaled Thursday that it was prepared to take part in enforcing a partial no-fly zone over Syria, piling pressure on President Bashar Assad's embattled regime as it widens a major offensive against rebels in Damascus and surrounding areas.
French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Paris would participate in a full no-fly operation if it followed international legal principles. But for now, he suggested that a partial closure - which U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Washington was considering - should be studied.
