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

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.

8 Time to MSM pool, anyone?

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?
