Guess who has no plans to send troops to Iraq?

Posted By Blackfive

I almost can't believe that AP turned this into a story.

You get one guess which country Has No Plans to Send Troops to Iraq.

...

France.

Why this story is newsworthy? I don't know...Here's the AP Story: France Has No Plans to Send Troops to Iraq

France is interested in helping to train an Iraqi police force, but sending in a military contingent is not on the agenda now, the foreign minister said Friday.

France wants to contribute to Iraq's security by helping to train the nation's next generation of police officers — once power is transferred to a sovereign Iraqi government, Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said.

"There are a number of domains of possible cooperation," de Villepin said in his annual address to the news media. "France wants to give its contribution in the face of this Iraqi crisis."

France has offered to share expertise with Iraqi police after the U.S.-led coalition hands power to an Iraqi transitional government on July 1. But he said the question of sending in French troops is "not a current topic."

I have posted about the stellar police work happening in France in relation to the War on Terror. So, I don't think having their help in training a police force is going to be that much help.

However, maybe we have them train their army and defense forces? That way, if we ever have to fight them again, they'll fold even quicker than they did the last two times...

But, then again, France has it's hands full - French Scarf Ban Faces Worldwide Protest.
