vote is going to be but thanksgiving day is when david cameron will make that case. meanwhile, look at the schedule for french president francois hollande this week. he met with david cameron today. tomorrow he s flying to the u.s. to meet with president obama. then he returns to france to meet with german chancellor angela merkel on wednesday. then on thursday he meets with the prime minister of italy but only in the morning because thursday afternoon he has to fly to russia to go meet with vladimir putin. that s all this week. that s all between now and thursday. and it s no secret what francois hollande is trying to accomplish with this whirlwind schedule of meetings. the first french air strikes against isis in syria after the paris attacks came just two days after the attacks. french fighter jets dropped bombs inside syria. and they took off from bases in the united arab emirates and from jordan in order to do that. those have been the sort of home bases for french operations so f
