Anti-Assad allies should boost support in light of Iraq: France

France is becoming desperate for the return to a new colonialism that can rescue their collapsing economy, it seems.

(Reuters) - Countries opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should boost support for groups fighting jihadists in light of the spiralling crisis in Iraq, France said on Thursday, offering to contribute to the effort.

France has so far agreed to provide non-lethal aid to the Syrian opposition but has ruled out providing heavy weapons that could change the balance of power on the ground.
