CONCHO, you’re wrong. According to your own link, the French sent ‘4500 including 3500 for the Marine Nationale’, or navy. given that Afghanistan is 500+ miles from any body of water, I’d consider that 3500 less than significant.
Your other link, to the disingenuous ‘we are all Americans’ editorial, doesn’t make it 3 paragraphs before blaming the US for all the sins of the world, up to and including bin Laden.
