| #6 Is that one of those things that's OK when the French do it but not OK when anyone else does it? Yeah, Ah'm pretty good with that. |

| #5 > In a statement prior to the NATO meeting, the French foreign ministry took aim at Ankara, saying that “the main obstacle to the establishment of peace and stability in Libya today lies in the systematic violation of the U.N. arms embargo Oh man, this is comedy gold. The main obstacle to peace and stability was the French operation to destroy Libya. How do people say things like this with a straight face? |

| #4 Arms trafficking? You mean delivering weapons to rebel groups? Is that one of those things that's OK when the French do it but not OK when anyone else does it? |

| #2 NATO will somehow survive. NATO to probe France-Turkey Med naval incident According to a French defense official, the frigate Courbet was “lit up” three times by Turkish naval targeting radar when it tried to approach a Turkish civilian ship suspected of involvement in arms trafficking. The ship was being escorted by three Turkish warships. The Courbet backed off after being targeted. The French frigate was part of NATO’s naval operation in the Mediterranean, Sea Guardian, at the time of the June 10 incident. France claims that under the alliance’s rules of engagement such conduct is considered a hostile act. Turkey has denied harassing the Courbet. |
