France vs. Israel.

This is coolbert:

"Nous considérons que ceux-ci des vols d'excédent constituent une violation de la souveraineté libanaise."

Today in the headlines from the world:

"France calls on Israel to end Lebanese mock raids"

The French are warning Israel against "mock air raids" in the skies over Lebanon.

Here is why!

Seems that Israeli combat jets have been "buzzing" French positions of the UNFIL [the foreign military units separating the Israeli and Hezbollah fighters] force in Lebanon. For some reason known only to the Israeli?

Creating quite a stir.

"French troops responded by readying an anti-aircraft missile, and were seconds away from firing on the warplanes, she said."

She is French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie. She.

[the French were ready to fire on Israeli jets!!]

And why are the Israeli "buzzing" French UNFIL units?

"Defense Minister Amir Peretz [Israel] has made the return of the kidnapped IDF soldiers a condition for stopping the overflights."

Keep the pressure on and the topic alive. Return our troops or the over-flight "buzzings" will continue.

[this all began back on October 31??!!]

Just one little incident and then what?
