"It's probably a good thing they don't have troops in Iraq. They're going to be needing them soon."

Sounds like you might be right. Eighth day. They keep this up it will be like what we used to have in Philly PA years back with, aaaaheeeemmmm PC minorities. Maybe they can make a bigger mess then they had in the LA riots. Socialist liberals seem to breed this final state of despair amoung various type peoples.

If you go back through history, you'll find that France is actually an ancient "Arab/Muslim Homeland". They are just claiming their "Right of Return".

Remaining neutral about the war on terror really protected them, didn't it? Killing them is the only way to stop this. I don't recall anything this bad happening on US soil. So much for their criticism of the US and it's policies. The thing I like about the US is that if the police were this ineffective here, the citizens would take matters into their own hands and cries of vigilanteism be .....

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin

Wasn't he the French minister who, several months ago, was advocating giving nuclear technology (as in weapons) to the Palestinians?

Aye and it's long past time to right the historical indignity perpetrated by the infidel colonizer Charles Martel.

``Perhaps we should be told clearly to stop having children"?



Well, since YOU mentioned it!
Where is the concept that making babies should be linked to the realities of raising them?

Is anyone else struck by the fact that most of this report is old "news" and media spin recycled from the past 8 days of riots, and only the smallest part has to do with what happened tonight. Even that part reads like a government press release.
Are there actual reporters on the scene, or are they holding down barstools in the deuxieme arrondissement, while the suburbs burn?
If there were a decent blog on this, we might learn something about what is happening.

Maybe they need midnight basketball.

[That was x42's proposed solution for violence, IIRC.]

Police have made 143 arrests during the unrest, Interior Ministry Nicolas Sarkozy said.

Sheesh. The Madison Wisconsin police arrested over 400 for rioting on Halloween.

Thanks, Tex.

In reality these French citizens are more representative of an insurgency than what our MSM portrays (lumps together) as insurgents in Iraq.

They can't, and don't have the stones, to kill enough of them.

The French have already lost.

If they didn't quell this by the 2nd night then they have encouraged it

Perhaps they don't dare try because of 9/11, the Cole, Ambassey bombings, the Lebanone Marine barracks etc.. Besides most muslims in this country are probably just gratefull they are here far away from the maddness. Why rock the boat.

If the French had a pair they would round them up and ship them out.

However these are the French we are talking about so they will try to bribe the insurgents. And when that fails they will surender and become the Islomic Republic of France.

>> "Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin vowed to..."
>That is just not going to convince anyone.

I hear, he's standing in front of a full-length mirror with a large, silly military hat on, practicing inserting his right hand into the seam of the shirt, along the button-line, just above the torso, muttering things incoherently under his breath.

But it's just a rumor.
