French warplanes struck Islamic State militants in Syria, two days after attackers carried out a coordinated assault on Paris killing 129 people.

Prior to the attack, France had been sparing in its strikes against targets in Syria.

News reports in France said the airstrikes were focused on Raqqa, the city in northern Syria that is the self-proclaimed capital of the Islamic State.

Like I said, hollande said it was a declaration of war.

mobilize the infantry, go in and destroy everything and everyone.

rescue the Christians and other groups.

dont stop until complete and utter victory is acccmplished.

Putin is going to go insane on them after the airplane takedown.

Now France, I hope.

And in 14 months, America will step in.

Obama should amend his will---leave his eyeballs to science.
That jaundiced vision of his means he might have a rare disease---
maybe something he picked up as a community organizer on the
filthy streets of Chicago---maybe gonorrhea of the eye sockets.

PP types would love to have Obama's body parts to auction off.

Think I’ll order some “FRENCH” Fries in their honor.

Glad to see that France decided to ignore Salon Magazine’s advice.

Nothing less than the complete and utter levelling of Raqqa will do. Wipe them out. All of them. WW2 wasn’t ended by surgically striking a porta-john. It was ended by total, horrific destruction and the fear of more to come. I’m not saying we need to go nuclear here, but frankly, I’m tired of hearing about the 247824th second lieutenant to the head of logistical preparations for food supply to ISIS getting tagged in a drone strike. These animals only understand might. It’s high time they were shown it.

Bomb Mecca when millions of those savages are stampeding over each other. Same way you destroy a fire ant nest.

“Bah! Won’t make one bit of difference. They need to bomb the suburbs of Paris.”

And PATTERSON NJ

Per Wiki:

New York City had the largest number of Muslims with 69,985. In 2000, Dearborn, Michigan ranked second with 29,181, and Los Angeles ranked third with 25,673; although Paterson, New Jersey, in the New York City Metropolitan Area, was estimated to have become home to 25,000 to 30,000 Muslims as of 2011. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was estimated to have 30,000 to 50,000 Muslims as of 2012.

Paterson, New Jersey has been nicknamed Little Ramallah and contains a neighborhood with the same name, with an Arab American population estimated as high as 20,000 in 2015.

It was ended by total, horrific destruction and the fear of more to come. Once war has broken out, there is only one proper objective: Victory. And wars are won by overwhelming force.

Half measures are not allowed...
