In my opinion, seems Bush might've made this deal previously, to satisfy his needs in Afghanistan. The US doesn't cause a stink about denying Ukraine and Georgia of its NATO MAP aspirations, in order to get the support it desparately needs currently in Afghanistan.
Many would compare the situation in Iraq along with Afghanistan, and conclude there's not much difference. The root of 9/11 was based from Afghanistan, where Bin Laden was based. To have France assist in Afghanistan, I would find it justifiable. But, can anyone understand why after all this time, why would France decide to join the US force's? Is it due to a new French leader? I doubt this is a last minute decision. Is France playing both the US and the Kremlin?
Why would France want to save face after denying MAP entry to these post-soviet countries? There are many question's to be answered. Perhaps these French leader's will be able to clarify their decision.
