Anyone seen "Day of the Jackal"? An amazing flick. They would have you believe that the French police are so sophisticated, so competent that they find a needle in a haystack. Combine that with trying to sell Derek Jacoby as a French detective, and ooolllaaaaallllaaa, these Frog morons shouldn't have any trouble finding this guy,...............................unless of course there's a reason why they DON'T want to catch him!!!!!!!HHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

Baked Beans, Onions, and Beer. Mix well in large quantities in an enclosed anal sphincter. Light match at 30,000 feet. Holy Explosion Batman!

He probably joined other terrorists in an unopposed effort crossing our too-open borders. All because Bush wants the Mexican vote.

So, give the Mexican vote to Hillary or Dean then. I think the radical "close the borders" people on the forum need to take a breath. When the solution is something between the two extremes (close the borders/let them all in), everyone seems to get P.O.'d here. I think the solution and the truth is always somewhere in the middle. Earned immigration sounds somewhere in the middle to me.

Makes you realize how prescient Peter Sellers was in portraying French Law Enforcement...

I heard this as a snippet on the radio this AM from Paul Harvey, but am very glad to have the story behind the news.

May our good Lord always protect and deliver our nation from evil people.

A detonator and a way to trigger the detonator is all they need at that point

I heard that they nailed some muslim with firecrackers in his carry on bag last week or so.

RE:

"...Makes you wonder if some of our Sneaky Petes got to him before he got to the airport."

Or so we can hope.

It seems safe to assume that the French would do whatever they could to wave the perp off before he fell into a trap, just as the French "Inspectors" always tipped Saddam's boys off as to the next UN "Inspection" site before the war - so just making him disapear into the shadows of the night would have been not only epedient, but a practical resolution to the matter.

The "Sneaky Petes" used to be pretty good at the fine art of discrete threat neutralization; let's hope some of them remember how it's done, post-Klinton.

We might never know how many American lives have already been spared since 9/11/01 because a few jihadist nazis simply failed to come down for breakfast one morning, and have not been seen or heard from since.

Hopefully, the "suspect" who never showed up at the airport to catch his missile to America spent Christmas Eve safely sleeping with the fishes.
