Mali Coddle

Something to watch:

More than 400 French troops have been deployed to [Mali] in the all-out effort to win back the territory from the well-armed rebels, who seized control of an area larger than France nine months ago. What began as a French offensive has now grown to include seven other countries, including logistical support from the U.S. and Europe. The United States is providing communications and transport help, while Britain is sending C17 aircrafts to help Mali's allies transport troops to the frontlines.

We may or may not be getting out of Afghanistan, but there's always trouble.
