I don't believe that or the thousands of other claims they've put out...
I did say it's hard to take him at his word, but France does have a history with Libya.
That makes it hard to understand their politics, because I don't know who is paying who. In the 80's when we attacked Libya, France refused to allow us to overfly their territory and opposed the strike. That was when Ghaddafi was King Terrorist.
Now that he's put aside his terrorist ways, France led the charge to attack and interfere with their civil war.
I'm not following how any of that makes sense unless someone(s) on the take.
