They weren't exactly falling over themselves to assist at the time.
The buyers of the French Exocet stock were us, we paid top whack to ensure we were highest bidder on every missile on the market, the French had their best sales period ever because we knew they weren't keeping their word.
Of course it would have helped if the French hadn't sent the launch data the missiles as promised, but hey can't get that sort of advertising every day.
We could barely mount the op with what we had if we'd been forking out for an EU force it would have been a no-go.
If you want to think the Europeans had our back on that one, good luck.
