Collaborators

We haven’t picked on the Fwench in a while. It’s time to pay a visit to Lebanon and Iran and see what the Frogs are up to. Not surprisingly, Robert Tracinski finds the Fwench up to their usual tricks ...

-by Robert Tracinski, The Intellectual Activist

The joke going around the Internet is that it’s not a World War until France surrenders. But I disagree. I think it’s not really a World War until the French become collaborators—a moment that has now fully arrived.

TIA Daily reader Jonathan Cargan sent me a story about an Iranian attempt to draft the French into a scheme in which French technicians would help enrich uranium inside Iran for use by the Iranians—a scheme that, sadly, sounds like one the French might embrace.

Meanwhile, TIA Daily reader Erik Driessens sent me the link below (from DEBKAfile, a site run by folks with lots of contacts within Israeli intelligence), which provides photos of French “peacekeepers” in Lebanon blocking Israeli tanks to keep them from attacking Hezbollah fighters who had just raided an Israeli armory. The French are now acting as allies of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

French Tanks Obstruct Israeli Tanks over Suspected Hizballah Robbery of Israeli Weapons Store,” DEBKAfile, October 3

The south Lebanese village of Merwahin was the stage Thursday, Sept, 28 of the first near-showdown between UN and Israeli forces. DEBKAfile publishes here the first photo of an encounter between 4 French Leclerc and at least 5 Israeli Merkava tanks in that Lebanese village.

Despite the photographic evidence, Israel officially denies the incident. DEBKAfile reports the French force sought to prevent the Israeli unit from combing through the Hizballah-dominated village in search of the raiders who crossed into Israel and broke into the IDF’s Kibbutz Shomera arms store last week. They made off with a large quantity of side-arms, anti-tank weapons, LAU rockets, and hundreds of combat grenades, which the Israeli force was determined to recover.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
