US CentCom lists support from allied countries in the current war. Is it just me, or does the phrasing here seem unnecessarily pejorative? “France provided its only Carrier Battle Group to support combat operations in the North Arabian Sea. Aircraft from this Battle Group have flown more than 2,000 hours for OEF to date, supporting the coalition with air reconnaissance, strike and AEW missions. France’s naval contribution to OEF accounts for approximately 24 percent of their entire naval forces.”
