France's Quagmire
A nice little article in Frontpage describes France's trouble in Ivory Coast and wonders why France can't get it right.
Côte d'Ivoire is a Third World nation with a relatively open society and a
non-totalitarian government. This is precisely the kind of place in which a
competent western intelligence service and a sophisticated European government
should have the local players penetrated to the hilt. And it’s not like the
French have all that many countries to keep an eye on anymore. Tracking
developments in Côte d'Ivoire, Tahiti, and a few others places shouldn’t lie
beyond the wit of Chirac and crew.
