French peace keepers in Lebanon are claiming that they were “two seconds” away from firing anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli recon flights that they felt were too close to the French positions. It is also believed they were a mere three seconds away from death.

On the record French officials have stated they believe the Israeli reconnaissance flights are designed to “provoke” Hezbollah.

It should be noted Hezbollah has its hands full at the moment.

The French are taking a hard line with Israel, likely at the behest of their new leaders who control a number of areas in the often occupied nation. I’m sure that the French leadership thinks they can win over their “youth” by helping them fight their common enemies, the Jews. Vichy France lives.
