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

Monsieur, we have different standards.

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

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

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

#9 I put $10 on "never".

#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.

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

#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?

#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.

#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...)

#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.

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

#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?
