La Belle France Toujours

Did you see the French "flotilla" on Brit's show tonight, a couple of rubber dinghies to enforce the ceasefire in Lebanon. The WSJ asks legitimate questions:

Given that the French contingent was supposed to be at the vanguard of this enhanced force, it's unclear whether other nations will be willing to chip in with troops of their own. All of this after the French used the promise of a robust, French-led international force to get the U.S. and Israel to agree to a cease-fire and withdrawal. Even less reassuring is the insistence by French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie that her troops will remain in the lead only until February, after which, apparently, it's salaam and adieu.

Perhaps the French are planning on asking the Iranians to take over, since they view them as a "stabilizing force".
