You hear that?

It's the sound of silence regarding the recent attacks by the French military (an oxymoron) on rebels in the quiet, quaint little village of Ouadda in Central African Republic. How do we really know only "rebels" were killed?

Could the rebels be "freedom-fighters"?

An occupation?

France recently added 100 troops to its 200 soldiers in Central African Republic to aid the government in countering the rebellion and to help secure borders with Chad and Sudan, both wracked by internal conflict.

I don't recall the French passing this action by the UN Security Council because, after all, Central African Republic is a sovereign country.

Not a big deal to me really, just mocking the hypocrisy. You see France can kick around the small guys, but they're not stepping up in Lebanon, Afghanistan (yeah I know they're "there" but they're not really engaged in the hot zone) or Sudan where they could really use some firepower to take down the thugs that are raping, killing and displacing hundreds of thousands of folks just trying to live.
