Intimidating the French

The Taliban is trying to intimidate the French by targeting them in heavy attacks. But it's not working. The French, under Sarkozy, have "found their backbone" and they killed 13 of the Taliban attackers in a day-long battle. The Taliban managed to kill 10 of the French in the first moments of the surprise attack, by blowing themselves, AND some French soldiers up in "suicide bomb" attacks. But they were largely unable to kill many more in the day-long battle that followed, which shows their incompetence in actual fighting. (Yahoo News)
