Via Don Surber, more evidence that Sarkozy is not just all talk when it comes to the global war on Islamic Fascism:

No scarf for Sarkozy as he suspends diplomatic relations — over the Lebanese elections.

Nicolas Sarkozy — L’Americain — continues to show more courage in his little pinky than the Democratic Party combined when it comes to the War on Terrorism. L’Intifada sent a message to Sarkozy and the people who elected him president of France.

After meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Sarkozy cut off diplomatic relations with the Syria over Syrian interference in Lebanon.

The BBC quoted Sarkozy as saying: “I ask Syria to… work to create agreement.”

AFP quoted him as saying:“It’s time for Syria to prove with facts what it has not stopped saying in speeches. We are now waiting for acts on Syria’s part and not speeches.”

Xinhua reported:“Mubarak underscored the urgency of Lebanon’s election of a president, which was postponed for the 11th time and rescheduled on Jan. 12, 2008. Mubarak said that the situation in Lebanon could lead to unspecified complications if it continues like that.”

The Jerusalem Post quoted Sarkozy as saying: “France has taken the responsibility of talking with Syria. One must recognize today that we cannot wait any longer, Syria must stop talking and now must act.”
