France Launches Total Reconquest of Mali French troops consolidated gains in Mali's Islamist-held north as Paris said the aim was its "total reconquest" and Canada, Germany and Russia offered vital aid for the offensive.... The French advance towards the jihadist strongholds in Mali came amid reports that the militants were abandoning some of their positions and converging on the mountainous region of Kidal, their northernmost bastion, 1,500 kilometres (900 miles) from the capital Bamako and near the border with Algeria. [ link to www.google.com] You ever watch them in action? They are way too conservative in my opinion, way to by the book in battle. They need a lot more troops.... They already have 2,000 boots on the ground (who knows how many special forces) - the Islamists may just hide out until they leave - so short term they might be able to declare victory (that's what I would do - let the French march around all they want & come back out when they leave)
