France's unpopular Socialist President Francois Hollande is talking tough after the latest terrorist outrage, which makes the terrorist incidents earlier this year seem small by comparison.
His failure to meaningfully fight terrorism is laid bare and Hollande is now struggling in the face of regional elections on December 6th which could see National Front leader Marine Le Pen winning leadership in the northeast of the country and her niece Marion Marechal Le Pen winning leadership in the southeast.
The real story of what's really happening when it comes to terrorism comes from the Obama Administration and its Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter.
Carter's comments on the terrorist attacks included this:
"The United States stands with the people of France and its vibrant, multicultural democracy."
Earlier Friday, Carter and the CINO British Prime Minister David Cameron hailed the targeted assassination of an Islamic State executioner known as "Jihadi John".
Another example of the limited, pin prick approach to dealing with a terrorist enemy capable of such outrages as the one in Paris.
Its sad that in the aftermath of 9/11 America's leaders put the relationship with Saudi Arabia started by Franklin Roosevelt in 1945 ahead of other considerations.
The 'war' that followed was confined to Afghanistan and Iraq, but not to the country which nurtured Al-Quaeda, Saudi Arabia and there have only been drone attacks and targeted assassinations in the country that nurtured the Taliban, Pakistan.
Iran has also gotten a pass with the Obama Administration and Republicans in Congress, not to mention France and other nations.. They all pursued a nuclear agreement with the Iranians for economic gain through the unfreezing of assets, although there has been an attempt to contain the Iranian regime.
Both political parties are committed to a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, Iran's enemy, where the terrorist ideology has been nurtured. Barack Obama has shipped munitions to help the Saudis and Gulf Arabs fight Iranian backed forces in Yemen.
The close relationship with the Saudis and Gulf Arabs has played out in Syria where with those nations and others like France the United States has intervened to overthrow Iran's ally Assad. This involvement ended up nurturing the Islamic State.
Now that Putin has checked the attempt to depose Assad, the Republicans are doubling down on more intervention in the area that is a sham fight at best against Islamic State.
The Republicans are no different from Obama on fighting terrorism and the Islamic State because both are aligned with the Saudi and Gulf Arab nurturers and financiers of terrorism.
And joining the US are the UK and Western European nations like France.
Its about the Arab money and international economic order, its about the 'new world order' and these terrorist attacks are a nuisance because real war would disrupt the economic order the political leaders are building and maintaining so they must wage pretend wars for public opinion's sake.
President Francois Hollande is now waging a war with his lips and may add in some pretend military action.
Before the attack it had been announced in Paris that the aircraft carrier "Charles De Gaulle" was being sent to the Persian Gulf to launch airstrikes on the Islamic State.
What more will Hollande do???? How much drama can he manufacture in the three weeks remaining before the regional elections? Will other leaders join him in the noisemaking. We shall see.....
Politicians are 1) protected ... and 2) paid off.
They are truly behind these murders and are complicit
completely.
Day after day, the world looks more like the fictional Gotham City, where the crooked politicians enable revolving doors for criminals to unleash murder, and the so-called heroes are unable to truly make a move to neutralize the threat.
I’ll bet Barky is waiting until closer to the next election to give the green light to his Islamic invaders to attack so that he can declare Martial Law and cancel the election.
So true; the US itself refuses to address the domestic threats we face from Muslims, but after the “War on Poverty” failure who is surprised by the “War on Terror” failure?
100% correct. If the west is as determined to wipe out islam as they were to wipe out nazis, they can do it. They won’t.
For a brilliant analysis of these events, see Mark Steyn’s essay here:

mostly balderdash
The current attack is an attempt by an ISIS that has passed it’s zenith in Syria/Iraq and is attempting to provoke a war on all Islam to obtain the objectives it is failing to achieve.
Lurking somewhere in the back ground is Iran that would also benefit from a war on Arab Islam by ending up as hegemon over the Gulf and Meccaj
It will be down to US, boys and girls.
We will have to fight with the guns that we have ALREADY LOADED.
Too late to go down to Wal-Mart, fill out all the forms, wait for permissions, get your “background” checks......................................
We need Totaler Krieg! But,the eunuchs of the West will do nothing!
You’re not the only one to think that.
You are right. We have not had leaders willing to win since the 1940s.
I’m not so sure about this. The bombing outside the stadium may well have been an effort to get the president of France out of there, when the real attack would have begun. When these guys start going after the politicians, that may cause an “attitude adjustment”. I’m sure that this was not unnoticed by pols all over Europe.
I anxiously anticipate your comments after the Islamofascists detonate a nuclear device in a city near you.
I believe that Islam should be banned, and mosques closed in the US. Not a compatible religion with American values.
If government wont do it, Americans will need to.
US Moslems must be put on notice.
Silence and acceptance of terror-violence will get you & your family deported and/or killed. Active & vocal resistance to any violent form of jihad & no financial support of terror organizations.
I am with you. Don’t forget to add in the up-grade/hardening of the White House.
From Korea on its been policing the world for the United Nations and so on as far as the US military is concerned.
The flag was waved a lot after 9/11 but the wars fought weren’t the right ones and they were both fought under United Nations authorization or international law with ‘rules of engagement’ and so on.
George W. Bush and Co. hijacked patriotism after 9/11 and Barack Obama buried it in the backyard afterwards.
Yeah, they need to start by calling it Islamic Jihad - the path of Mad Mo’.
I wish that we has stopped isis in the bud when Iraq first asked us for help. But instead, Obama prattled about JV’s and refused to send ground troops, because of domestic political considerations. Now isis’ successes have had a snowball effect.
Better yet, we should have left enough troops in Iraq in the first place. Those troops, sent under the surge, had virtually defeated Al Qaeda in Iraq, which morphed into isis.
Once, right after 9/11, GWB said we are on a Crusade, and then within days, walked it back and said, we are not at war with islam, but they are at war with us.
Show me a 'moderate' mooselimb, and I'll show you either an islamic apostate or a dead mooselimb.
Islam is not a just a religion, it is a political, judicial way of life and death.
In any country where mooselimbs are a majority, and sharia law is practiced, any other religion is banned and persecuted.
The solution to islam is eradication, complete and total annihilation. 1.1 billion dead mooselimbs, may not end all terrorism, but it would be a good start.
