. A French warship arrived off the coast of Lebanon and ten French soldiers got into little boats for transport onshore. Obviously, they're the first contingent of the promised 200 French peacekeepers
.
They didn't appear to be carrying much equipment. It will probably be delivered later.

They were each issued a white flag, which is all of the equipment the French really ever seem to need.

One white flag, one roll of toilet paper and one tube of KY to make getting F'd up the a$$ a whole lot easier.

Meanwhile, the baggage handlers at the Lebanon, Oregon airport are trying to figure out who owns the 200 white flags some idiot misrouted.

What a farce!
Hasn't Hizbullah already reneged on disarming?

The idea that the French will be neutral or at the least not pro-hezbolah is dumb. They will take sides and then protect the terrorist as they re-arm.
I have a photo retrospective of French military uniforms defensive training on my site.
Warning!
Please DO NOT drink milk while viewing!

"They will take sides and then protect the terrorist as they re-arm."
I must disagree with that. France used to be the imperial ruler of present day Syria and Lebanon. Besides, why would they support a terror organization that blew up 58 of their paratroopers? That makes no sense, period.

Yeah - impressive isn't it.. I noted that it was 50, not that it makes much difference.

AM, what in the frenchies' long history of unbelievably poor decisions and betrayals makes you think they won't side with the enemy? They loved Hitler, and were kissing Saddam's ass right up until we invaded, even though they were supposed to be helping enforce the UN sanctions on Iraq. The french are a disgraceful, craven race of gutless cowards, and richly deserve their coming extinction at the hands of the savages they support.

The French arrived with their war equipment. Each soldier carried two pounds of butter, one pound of bacon, one gal of heavy cream, a bunch of shallots and 5 pounds of goose liver.

What doesn't make sense to me is why didn't Israel get any concrete details on who the peace keepers are going to be, exactly from which countries and how many, as well as what the rules of engagement are going to be, prior to any agreement. These things should have been discussed and agreed-upon in advance, as to not introduce any surprises.

I hear these French troops are arriving heavilly armed with sharp baguettes and stale croissants. They even braught a mobile Cheese artillary piece. Those hizbollah mofos better fall in line now.

The froggies have an even longer history of anti-semitism than even the Germans, and have been kissing arab asses longer than anyone else, so I don't think the hezzies have too much to worry about.

Example of a French warcry:

Two hundred sous chiefs against Hezbollah. Ha, ha. They call this the United Nations. What a joke.
