How do you surrender after you've already surrendered?
To: TexKat
In response, the French government ordered that all French women must now wear scarves.... oh yeah, and report for a clitorectomy.

The militants ought to be a little careful. While it is true France opposed the war to topple Saddam, France is also where most of the Crusaders came from. Don't get them started, militant-man, France is nearly synonymous with Crusades.

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh on this one. How long will it take for France to give in? Less than 24 hours? Shall we place bets?
They don't call them Surrender Monkeys for nothing.

Well, it's good to see that by staying out of Iraq the French have carefully cultivated good relations with Islamic extremists.
See? Talking does work!
To: TexKat
The over-under on surrender is 48 hours.

Nope.
The Islamics (like any sane person) can see through the French charade.
The French ban other markers of Judaism and Christianity at the same time
and say they are being fair...but the real target was to get the headscarves out of schools.
But, the French have to use these machination because they are scared...they've let
their country become so infiltrated by their future masters (now 10% Muslim)
that they don't really know what to do.
While I feel for anyone captured as a hostage of the Islamics...maybe this sort of
event will wake up true France and bring them over to the right side.
But I won't hold my breath.
