Snip; After failing to organize an international coalition to battle Muslim extremists in Mali, France has become embroiled in its own “war on terror” as Western allies offer meager support from a safe distance and nearby West African nations stay out.

French soldiers in Mali are not just fighting radical Muslims – that would be much easier. No, they are battling the tip of a worldwide army of extremists who as a matter of strategy shield themselves behind women and children.

Meanwhile, French bombs have already begun claiming the lives of collateral victims, including African children. The French invaders will be treated like heroes – for a short while. However body counts will soar on both sides should the French stay and fight it out with advancing Muslim extremists, and the media will alternately focus on French casualties and collateral victims, not the larger war on terrorism, as an initial surge of French patriotism fades

Snip2; French forces will soon retreat or become embedded in a long, costly war that in the long run, will only earn condemnation from the Western press as photos of dead women and children begin to surface in the global media.
