| Africa: Subsaharan |
| French Massacre? |
| 2004-11-20 |
| Apollogies if this is not the right way to this, but this is a link that leads to a free republic thread that revolves around a 100 mb video-file of french soldiers apperantly opening fire on a larg crowd of african civilians. Long download but some pretty distubing images, I personaly think that the french have a shitload of explaining to do. |

| #17 The French have been periodically pulling this kind of shit across western and northern Africa for over half a century now, with nary a protest or denunciation from the pseudo-progressive left. Why would our parochial MSM bother noticing this time? |

| #16 It appeared that a disproportionate number of the victims were female. |

| #15 The MSM won't cover it because 1) The french are the ones committing the crime and 2) the victims are 'only blacks'. (in the view of the MSM -- not me!) If it was 'arabs' or muslims I'm sure the MSM would be all over it in a heartbeat. In the meantime Koffe will give Chirac all the cover he needs. |

| #14 Bloggers need to be all over this. Send the link to instapundit, Charles Johnson at littlegreenfootballs.com, maybe Sullivan as well (he's still British and thus has a large measure of hereditary frogophobia in his genes...) |

| #13 I'll bet never too. They've already covered this story and buried it. I saw the film though and without a doubt it was a French masscre. |

| #12 I'll bet on Never. Not just because France is the global leader of the anti-Bush resistance, hence the logical ally of the MSM, but because hardly anyone gives a foutre what France does in Africa. Did Scott really mean to kill Amber next? |

| #11 Lets hope the blogs can do the same thing to france, as they did to Dan Rather. |

| #10 I'll take that. Once it gets to Drudge, it gets to MSM. Matty looks like he's taking a day off, so some time tomorrow after the morning shows but in time for his radio show is my guess. |

| #5 Unarmed civilians are the only targets the French are brave enough to shoot at. |

| #4 In the video I seen,a few civilians were mooning the French giving them the finger and shortly afterwards, the French openned fire. |

| #3 the U.N. and Kofi will demand an investigation: "Who torched the UN vehicle at the end? We want them arrested immediately!" |

| #2 Those are definitely civilians, and the Frenchies definitely slaughtered them. Monsieur, we have different standards. Mike |

| #1 That's pretty graphic. Those are definitely civilians, and the Frenchies definitely slaughtered them. |
