The Wind Beneath Our Wings

The Taliban are happy about France's announcement from their new socialist government that they will withdraw from Afghanistan sooner than they had promised:

The Taliban on Sunday urged all NATO nations in Afghanistan to follow France's lead and pull their forces from the war.

No matter how bad our president is, I guess we haven't hit rock bottom as long as enemies look to the French as the standard for running away.

Our Left must be happy since they always wanted us to be more like France. Now they have the France they want us to be like. But perhaps I'm unkind to the new socialist government. Perhaps France is content to let us shine, that's their way. They always walked a step behind. And now they will again.

I can almost hear the cries of "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" in the air. And here I was almost getting used to the idea that France would fight at our side.
