France plays down Taliban capture of anti-tank missiles

ANNECY: France played down the capture by Taliban of two French anti-tank missiles seized after a major attack was launched on hundreds of its troops in Afghanistan on Friday.

Defence Minister Herve Morin said that western forces in Afghanistan had to abandon weapons in the field and that the main concern had been to get the troops out of last Saturday's ambush alive.

"It was an ambush in a narrow valley, with a lot of Taliban," said Morin as he visited an army unit in the eastern town of Annecy that was about to send some of its soldiers to Afghanistan.

"The essential thing is that everyone is alive," he said, adding that the abandoned Milan anti-tank missiles would be difficult to use for anyone without the proper training. ( YES I'M SURE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT ON THE INTERNET,ONLY 31 COUNTRIES HAVE THIS WEAOPN. G)

Fourteen Taliban were killed in the clash, according to NATO's International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

The ambush took place in the Alasai valley north of the capital Kabul, near where 10 French soldiers were killed in another Taliban ambush in mid-August.

( THE FRENCH DIDN'T THINK THE TALIBAN WOULD DARE AMBUSH THEM AGAIN IN THE SAME PLACE TWICE.G)

The French army waited until Thursday to publicly announce the incident.

It said that around 300 French troops were attacked by about 100 Taliban and had to retreat after fierce fighting. Air cover was called in to help them get out of the ambush, said Lieutenant Colonel Bruno Louisfert, a French army spokesman in Afghanistan.

( THE FRENCH RECON TEAMS, MISSED THE 100 TALIBAN WAITING FOR THEM, THE FRENCH SAID THEY WERE HIDING AND THE FRENCH COULDN'T SEE THEM.G. )

( AND THEY RETREATED THEY DON'T LIKE TO ENGAGE UNLESS THEY HAVE 3 TO 1 FORCE Superiority, OHH THEY DID? G )

He said a missile launcher was also abandoned along with the two Milan portable medium-range guided missiles. afp

( WHY TAKE THE LAUNCHER OR DESTROY THE MISSILES, OR EVEN ORDER AIR COVER TO DESTROY THEM, FRENCH CLAIM THEY FORGOT THEY LEFT THEM BEHIND TILL AFTER THE BATTLE.G. )

Why would France be concerned about two Milan anti-tank missiles , when they are providing nuclear reactors to the Middle East? 

That has already cost them 30 nuke techs, they are not worried about nuclear

reactors why get excited about Milan missiles?

They didn't say which war head was on missiles:

• MILAN: Single, Shaped Charge (1972)
• MILAN 2: Single, Shaped Charge (1984)
• MILAN 2T: Tandem, Shaped Charge (1993)
• MILAN 3: Tandem, Shaped Charge (1996)
• MILAN ER: Extended Range

The later MILAN models have tandem HEAT warheads. This was done to keep pace with developments in Soviet armour technology. Soviet tanks began to appear with explosive reactive armour, which could defeat earlier ATGMs. The precursor HEAT warhead penetrates and detonates the ERA tiles, paving the way for the main charge to penetrate the armour behind.

only 31 nations have and use this weaopn including Turkey and Iran, so its not likely they will figure out where the trigger is on the line of site weapons,

We hav e it on good authority the Taliban are SORRY, and will be sending the anti-tank missiles back to the French, dumb asses.

French dooms day weapon,,,

French: new anti tank weapon: terrible devastating threat.
Weapon to end all WARS.
Total destruction, unstoppable, French designed and built.
This ability fully explains the French heroic efforts in WWII.
WORTH THE TIME, WATCH

It would be OK for France to sell this to Iran.

Sorry France is talking tough to Iran now, thats a start.
Seriously we salute all the valiant French forces in the Middle East fighting terrorism.

[Question] Jihad et gain financier! [Question] Jihad and financial gain!

---

Depuis quelque jours les freres sont engages dans un debat a propos l'offre de 100 a 150 milles dollars a qui tuerait le suedois Lars Vilks pour son attaque contre le Prophete Muhammad For some days the brothers are engaged in a debate about the supply of 100 to 150 thousand dollars was who killed the Swedish Lars Vilks for his attack on Muhammad Prophete .
Le debat est autour plusieurs questions, mais surtout a propos l'attente d'un gain financier lorsque quelqu'un fait une action dans le sentier d'Allah The debate is around several issues, but mainly about waiting for a financial gain when someone makes an action in the way of Allah . Est ce que quelque chose comme ca ne nuirait pas au concept de Jihad en Islam? Is what something like that would not damage the concept of Jihad in Islam? Depuis quand les Musulmans veridiques entreprennent-ils des actions de 'aqida pour etre payes? Since when Muslims true entreprennent-ils actions' aqida to be paid?
Allah dit: " Allah détermine la nuit et le jour. Il sait que vous ne saurez jamais passer toute la nuit en prière. Il a usé envers vous avec indulgence. Récitez donc ce qui (vous) est possible du Coran. Il sait qu'il y aura parmi vous des malades, et d'autres qui voyageront sur la terre, en quête de la grâce d'Allah, et d'autres encore qui combattront dans le chemin d'Allah. Récite-en donc ce qui (vous) sera possible. Accomplissez la Salâ, acquittez la Zakâ, et faites à Allah un prêt sincère. Tout bien que vous vous préparez, vous le retrouverez auprès d'Allah, meilleur et plus grand en fait de récompense. Et implorez le pardon d'Allah. Car Allah est Pardonneur et Très Miséricordieux." Said: "Allah determines night and day. He knows that you will not ever go all night in prayer. He used to you with leniency. Récitez So what (you) can the Koran. He knows he there will be among you sick, and others who travel on land, seeking Allah, and others who fight in the way of Allah. Récite-en So what (you) will be possible. Complete Salâ, pay the Zakâ, and made a loan to Allah sincerely. Everything that you prepare, you end up with Allah, better and bigger in terms of reward. And implorez forgiveness from Allah. Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful. " [Al-Mouzammil 20] [Al-Mouzammil 20]

Nous avons discute ce sujet avec notre Sheikh qui dit que la Shari'a est completement contre payer n'importe qui pour une action qui doit etre faite dans le sentir d'Allah et pour Allah We have discussed this issue with our Sheikh saying that the Shari'a is completely against anyone pay for an action which must be made in the way of Allah and for the sake of Allah . .
En plus, le Sheikh nous rappele que le Messager d'Allah Muhammad In addition, Sheikh reminded us that the Messenger of Allah Muhammad a ete insulte et attaque physiquement et moralement par les kouffars mais il n'a jamais donne l'ordre de tuer n'importe qui a cause de cela???? Was insult and attack physically and morally by kouffars but he never gave the order to kill anyone who because of this??

Qui est votre Sheikh? Who is your Sheikh?

Ensuite c'est pas la première fois que vous nagez dans le sens inverse du courant général avec vos doutes sur les Moujahidines et leur Jihad, tournant ça en questions innocentes et naives. Then it is not the first time that you are swimming in the direction opposite the mainstream with your doubts on Moujahidines and Jihad, turning it into issues innocent and naive. Ne jouez pas dans ce terrain glissant, je vous préviens : Do not play in this slippery ground, I warn you:

"Is Islam that we should or we can encourage someone to take action for the 'aqida by offering financial gain?"

"Among the beneficiary of the Zakât there are those whose hearts are a win to Islam. Donc pour attirer les gens vers l'Islam ont peut leur proposer des biens. So to attract people to Islam may have to offer property. Et surtout ceux qui sont faible et hésitant dans le fort, si l'argent peut les aider à consolider leur foi, cette Zakât leur est destiné. And especially those who are weak and hesitant in the fort, if the money can help them consolidate their faith, this Zakât their use. "

Abi Zakaryya Al Dimashqi Al Dumyati "Ibn-Nuhaas" dit dans Livre du Djihâd dit qu'il y a 8 catégories de gens qui font le Djihâd: Abi Zakaryya Al-Dimashqi Al Dumyati "Ibn-Nuhaas" said Book of Jihad said there were 8 categories of people who Jihad:

1. Pour plaire à Allah To please Allah
2. Par amour pour l'Islam For the love of Islam
3. Pour la recherche du Paradis For research Paradise
4. Pour se défendre To defend itself
5. Pour le Djihad et le butin To Jihad and the booty
6. Pour le butin seul For only the spoils
7. La reconnaissance (auprès des autres) The recognition (among others)
8. Par désespoir In desperation

Ce qui nous intéresse ici c'est le point 5 il dit What is of interest here is the point 5 he said :

Il y a certains qui sortent uniquement avec l'intention de combattre pour plaire à Allah, mais ont aussi l'intention de gagner les butins. There are some emerging only with the intention of fighting to please Allah, but also intend to win the booty."

FRENCH CONNECTION TO DEATH OF DAN PEARL

Holding the Media Accountable

From today’s Wall Street Journal, the hopeful story of a chance for justice in France. Pictured here are a faked photo that became a Palestinian icon and the courageous French journalist who has fought for the truth, much as did Emile Zola in the Dreyfus Affair.

WATCHING THE NEWS

Palestinian Propaganda Coup
A judge in France has a chance to hold the media accountable.

BY NATAN SHARANSKY
Sunday, October 7, 2007 12:01 a.m. EDT

Last month, a French court heard an appeals case whose forthcoming verdict will have far-reaching ramifications for all who value truth and accuracy in Middle East news reporting. The case involves Philippe Karsenty, a French journalist and media commentator, who was found guilty of defamation after he called for the firing of two France 2 Television journalists responsible for the Sept. 30, 2000, news report on the alleged killing of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, Mohammed al-Dura, by the Israel Defense Forces.

It has been seven years since France 2 Television broadcast the excruciating footage of Mohammed and his father, Jamal, crouching in terror behind a barrel in Gaza’s Netzarim Junction while, according to the report, under relentless fire from IDF soldiers. The 59-second clip, which ends with the boy apparently shot dead, was presented around the world as an unambiguous case of Israeli savagery.

The tape fanned the flames of what became known as the second intifada. The boy Mohammed was the iconic martyr, his name and face gracing streets, parks and postage stamps across the Arab world. His memory was invoked by Osama bin Laden in a jihadist screed against America, and in the ghastly video of the beheading of American Jewish journalist, Daniel Pearl.

DID THIS VIDEO CONTRIBUTE TO THE BEHEADING OF DANIEL PEARL?

Shortly following the al-Dura incident, however, a series of inquiries cast grave doubt on the accuracy of the original France 2 report. The official IDF investigation concluded that, based on the position of IDF forces vis-à-vis the Duras, it was highly improbable, if not impossible, that an Israeli bullet hit the boy. Research by The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic and Commentary magazine concurred. Then a German documentary revealed inconsistencies and probable manipulations in the account of France 2’s lone journalist on the scene that day, Palestinian cameraman Talal Abu Rahmeh.

And yet France 2 refused to release Abu Rahmeh’s full 27 minutes of raw footage. It did, however, agree to let three prominent French journalists view the footage. All three concluded that it comprised blatantly staged scenes of Palestinians being shot by Israeli forces, and that France 2’s Jerusalem Bureau Chief Charles Enderlin had lied to conceal that fact.

Subsequently, alleging gross malfeasance, Mr. Karsenty called for the firings of Mr. Enderlin and France 2 News Director Arlette Chabot. But France 2 stood defiant, suing Mr. Karsenty for defamation.

The defamation trial passed almost unnoticed in Israel, to the apparent detriment of Mr. Karsenty’s case. In his ruling in favor of France 2, judge Joël Boyer five times cited the absence of any official Israeli support for Mr. Karsenty’s claims as indication of their speciousness.

Israel’s decision to stay on the sidelines was unfortunate because the truth always matters. The al-Dura incident wasn’t the only media report to inflame passions against Israel in recent years, but it was the one with the highest profile. Moreover, if, as Mr. Karsenty and others have claimed persuasively, the al-Dura incident is part of the insidious trend in which Western media outlets allow themselves to be manipulated by dishonest and politically motivated sources (recall the Jenin “massacre” that never was, or the doctored Reuters photos from Israel’s war against Hezbollah in 2006), then France 2 must be held accountable.

It is important to note that the al-Dura news report profoundly influenced Western public opinion. When I served in the Israeli government as minister of Diaspora affairs from 2003 to 2005, I traveled frequently to North American college campuses. I heard firsthand how Mohammed al-Dura had shaped the perceptions of young people just beginning to follow events in the Middle East. For many Jewish students, the incident was a stain of dishonor that called into question their support for Israel. For anti-Israel students, the story reaffirmed their sense of Zionism’s innately “racist” nature and became a tool for recruiting campus peers to the cause.

To its credit, Israel has come to recognize that it must play an active role in uncovering the truth. The IDF recently sent a letter to France 2 demanding the release of Talal Abu Rahmeh’s 27 minutes of raw footage, asserting the implausibility of IDF guilt for the death of Mohammad al-Dura, and raising the possibility that the entire affair may have been staged.

Tragically, there is no way to repair the damage inflicted on Israel’s international image by the France 2 report, much less restore the Israeli and Jewish victims whose lives were exacted as vengeance. It is possible, however, to deter slanderous news reporting–and the violence that often accompanies it–by setting a precedent for media accountability via the handover of Talal Abu Rahmeh’s full 27 minutes of raw footage. Encouragingly, the judge presiding over Mr. Karsenty’s appeal has now requested the tapes. France 2 must make a full public disclosure. If there is nothing to hide, why should it refuse?

THERE SHOULD BE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, AIDING AND ABETTING THE TERRORISTS, CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR PROPAGANDA.

French Oil TOTAL to Continue Operations in Burma

French Oil Giant TOTAL to Continue Operations in Burma

Total SA is one of the biggest foreign investors in Burma. Per Pravda, "A spokeswoman for Total told Dow Jones Newswires that Total had no intention of leaving because a "forced retreat" would open the way for competitors to take its place." (The French retreat from everything except the advance of democracy.)

Wiki: Although Total claims to maintain a "socially responsible investment" program, there has been recent controversy over its corporate involvement in Burma, despite recent European Union sanctions on new investment in the country due to its poor human rights record. Democratic activists have accused Total of propping up that country's brutal military junta...Total is currently involved in a joint venture with the military regime developing an offshore gas field in the Andaman Sea. The Burmese government in exile also criticises Total for allegedly funding rape, murder and genocide in Burma, as a result of hiring members of the military to guard their pipeline.

Total has been taken to court by six Burmese people who claimed they were used as forced labour in the preparation of Total's pipeline in Burma. Total paid the villages to drop the case in 2005. In 2005 a 14 year old girl was allegedly gang raped by sixteen members of the Burmese army employed by Total to guard their pipeline. Many activists feel Total has not taken adequate steps to bring those responsible to account.

Seawitch says: The courageous people of Burma are mostly employing peaceful tactics to gain their freedom from the military junta. They are being met with clubs, bullets, clubs, batons, tear gas and now the junta has taken away the most potent weapon the Burmese people have: the internet. She urges readers to contact the Chinese embassy.

The situation in Burma is increasingly dangerous. Hundreds of thousands of unarmed peaceful protesters, including monks and nuns, are risking their lives to march for democracy against an unpopular but well-armed military dictatorship that will stop at nothing to continue its repressive rule. While the generals in power and their families are literally dripping in gold and diamonds, the people of Burma are impoverished, deprived of basic human rights, cut off from the rest of the world, and increasingly under threat of violence.

This week the people of Burma have risen up collectively in the largest public demonstrations against the ruling Junta in decades. It’s an amazing show of bravery, decency, and democracy in action. But although these protests are peaceful, the military rulers are starting to crack down with violence. Already there have been at least several reported deaths, and hundreds of critical injuries from soldiers beating unarmed civilians to the point of death.

The actual fatalities and injuries are probably far worse, but the only news we have is coming from individuals who are sneaking reports past the authorities. Unfortunately it looks like a large-scale blood-bath may ensue — and the victims will be mostly women, children, the elderly and unarmed monks and nuns.

Contrary to what the Burmese, Chinese and Russian governments have stated, this is not merely a local internal political issue, it is an issue of global importance and it affects the global community. As concerned citizens, we cannot allow any government anywhere in the world to use its military to attack and kill peacefully demonstrating, unarmed citizens.

In this modern day and age violence against unarmed civilians is unacceptable and if it is allowed to happen, without serious consequences for the perpetrators, it creates a precedent for it to happen again somewhere else. If we want a more peaceful world, it is up to each of us to make a personal stand on these fundamental issues whenever they arise.

Please join me in calling on the Burmese government to negotiate peacefully with its citizens, and on China to intervene to prevent further violence. And please help to raise awareness of the developing situation in Burma so that hopefully we can avert a large-scale human disaster there.
