In reply to Maria.

France recognition of the Benghazi council has nothing to do with the UN no-fly+ resolution.

Why have the others (at least in the EU) not immediately follow France’s ‘lead’?

In reply to Macduff. Planes taking off from aircraft carriers presently at Gaddafi's doorstep do not need to pass through Malta's air space.

Chapeau! France was right to recognize the Libyan rebels. They will be finally, vindicated.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Hah! I'd need to be over sixty, be deeply intellectual, be tall and slim in that French way, or alternately be Senegalese, talk bullshit, be a leftwinger, and be incredibly well-connected. Which of these qualities do I possess? (I can think of one.)

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Baxxter, c'est le temps pour toi de prendre le siege. Pourquoi pas?

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

Ça fait logtemps qu’il vise un siège à l’Académie française. Il s’est fait envoyer à Malte – le Club Med du Quai d’Orsay – par son pote Kouchner. Ce dernier est parti, mais Rondeau, lui, il est resté.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Je ne sais pas ce que vous entendez, mais peut-être vous laissez entendre sur le fait qu'il n'est pas un diplomate de carrière, mais plus d'un philosophe.
