La France a toujours collaboré avec ces pays, qui par ailleurs sont il faut bien le dire, des pays bien plus riches que nous.

Pour protéger leurs richesses, enfin surtout leur territoire. Il y a aussi tout le détroit à contrôler (pirates)

2 BN-2 Islander
7 Super Puma
7 Panther
4 Alouette III

2 frégates type Korteaner (Nee)
2 corvettes lance-missiles type FPB38(All)
6 patrouilleurs lance missiles type TNC45 (All)
6 patrouilleurs types Vosper (Uk)

We “help” the emirates since 1995, this agreement is just officialising the fact.

As the Djibuti base that we kept (since our colony there)is mostly used by NATO and US army forces, the navy part of the french staff will move to the UAE

In two of the largest weapons sales to the U.A.E. in recent years, France signed a $3.4 billion deal involving 63 Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft and a $3.4 billion agreement to supply 390 Leclerc tanks

uh ? how much did Bush anounce yesterday for Saudi ? 20 billions dollars in defence arms

Why is it that while the governments of Europe (Merkel, Brown, Sarkozy, Eastern Bloc) run towards and join with the US foreign policy of the past 7 years, while US Liberals (yes that includes Rue Paul) run away from and even against the US and its foreign policy. Why is it that socialist/leftist European nations embrace American style conservatism and the fight against islamo-fascism while members of our own leadership including those trying to be President blame their own countrymen and soldiers of war crimes just because they wanted to protect us and follow orders that the same people gave them? Thank you for joining us on the frontlines of this battle for civilization Mr. Sarkozy and the people of France. I dearly hope that our nation will continue to stand with you, Britain, Poland, France, etc. But believe this, even if our government reapplies the isolationism that we exhibited prior to WW1 and WW2, we will also resurrect the WW1&2 practice of smuggling able bodies to those in need through Canada. Huh.
