There has been a number of comments in the press about Saddam Hussein using the movie Black Hawk Down for his tactics. This was confirmed by Greg Kelly's report for Fox News this morning of the unsucessful use of so-called "technicals" against troops in Bagdhad.
I remember from the movie, however, what made the Rangers vulnerable was the equivocation at the UN troop headquarters to save them. This is the difference here. Thank you, France, for making certain that the UN was not in charge of this. It is also a warning about UN running the peace-keeping.
