The way I see it, when Obama gave the orders to deploy the troops and
rescue effort, some US general thought it was his chance to "run the
show" and tell those U.N: idiots how things get done... hence the
first thing they did was taking command of the airport´s control
tower, and proceed to give priority to US flights putting the French
at the bottom of the waiting list for landing, raising theire and
formal complaint by France...

That complaint, in turn, seems to have led to Hillary kicking
someone´s arse and now the U.S: troops are "cooperating" and
"coordinating" with the U.N.

...Just my view from afar...
