Thirteen French Officers Captured by Syrian Army [???]
March 6th, 2012Via: Telegraph:
Thirteen French officers have been captured by Syrian forces according to the Lebanon-based Daily Star newspaper, the first mainstream media outlet to report on rumours of Western troops on the ground.
The French foreign ministry dismissed the report, however, telling the Daily Telegraph that not a single French soldier is on Syrian soil.
But the defence ministry was less categorical, saying it neither confirmed nor denied the claim.
…
The report claiming that French officers are on the ground came from the Daily Star, a reputable newspaper in Beirut.
The Daily Star cites a Damascus-based Pro-Syrian Palestinian source as alleging that the French troops are being held in a field hospital in Homs.
The source claimed officials in Paris and Damascus are brokering a deal on what to do with the French nationals.
No explanation as to why the French troops had been in Syria was given nor was any indication as to whether they had been part of a larger contingent.
It was not possible to independently verify the claims.

Thierry Meyssan has an excellent article about the journalists captured and/or dead in Syria. They were French and British agents.

I forgot to mention that the French constitution does not allow the President war powers without the consent of parliament. Sending in these agents was an act of war and an impeachable offense. Kofi Aman is being sent to Syria to negotiate the release. He has some credibility as he spoke out against the Iraq war.
