All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Thanks, Mike. If there was a song about it, I missed it as I was quite young then.

French, Malians seize town from Islamists

Bamako, Mali (CNN) -- French and Malian forces squaring off with Islamist militants seized a key city from them on Friday, a high-ranking French source told CNN.

The city is Konna, located in the central region of Mali, a sprawling, landlocked Saharan nation. That region is the latest front in the grinding fight between the West and al Qaeda-linked militants.

The development is an important advance a week after France launched an air and ground military offensive against a strong militant presence across northern Mali and other locations in the sprawling country. Insurgents advancing south toward the capital, Bamako, took Konna on January 10. They started retreating a week ago after the French and Malian forces pushed back, with air and fire power.



Any time is a good time for pie.

What the heck?  They'd supposedly recaptured Kona almost a week ago.  Did they lose it a second time?  ???

I enjoy Duffel Blog but usually because it is more sophisticated than
"French...surrender...HAW! HAW! HAW!" 
Maybe they are jealous of somebody else blowing up third worlders?
We wouldn't want to turn a stereotype on its head.

It's comedy, Dan. Even the best can't make us belly laugh every day.
