Wow. I have to admit, I was rather sanguine yesterday amidst all the chatter about a jihad in Paris. And I confess that I called out others here for being 'over the top' and near 'hysterics', given past tendencies for Arab disobedience in the French 'burbs, but given my immense respect for Mark Steyn's analytical and anecdotal intelligence, I have to admit I may have been wrong - that perhaps this IS more than just an opportunistic event, and perhaps something pre-meditated and fomented by Islamists in France and perhaps even Iranian agents.

This is deeply troubling.

Somebody help me out here....I thought the Muzzies considered France to be a safe haven. Now they're burning the house down.

Are they really THAT stupid or is there some other dynamic at work here?

"France is a bit ahead of the rest of the world with its deployment of "nukes", aka nuclear power plants"

Perhaps you should do a bit of light reading. Go back to Oct 1995 (google French Tahiti nuke) and find out that France INDEED posesses nuclear weapons, not simply nuclear power plants.

From Infoplease.com:

Countries with Nuclear Weapons Capability--->

Acknowledged: Britain, China, France, India, Pakistan, Russia, United States

Unacknowledged: Israel

Seeking: North Korea,1 Iran2

Abandoned: South Africa—Constructed but then voluntarily dismantled six uranium bombs. Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine—When Soviet Union broke up, these former states possessed nuclear warheads that they have since given up.

Anytime you hear the often-used term, "nukes"..it means nuclear weapons.

Limbaugh said it best this morning; "These are not French rioters they are insurgents. They are freedom fighters defending their territory!"

Remember the French were at the top of the list of those saying democracy was not appropriate for Muslims. Democracy was not compatible with democracy.

A pity the Pope chose Benedict instead of Urban ...

[bill1952]

opposition Socialist Party and many in the suburbs themselves blamed the hardline policies of Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy for fanning the violence.

LOL! Hahaha! - Hell yes, do less to control illegal immigration of foriegn trash!

opposition Socialist Party = Democtratic Party in the US.

Can you imagine the field day the press and the Democrats would have if this was happening in America?

[mikegi]

I don't think that this is "it" but I do think it's the Muslims' "we're here and we're queer" moment. The question is whether Europe smacks this down hard or appeases them. the real wildcard is whether AQ exploits the situation. Who knows how many weapons they've smuggled into Europe. Right now, it looks like somewhat random rioting (ie. no goal) but a little organization by AQ could turn it into something more.

I wasn't joking when I wrote that we need contingency plans for France's nuclear weapons. A plan developed today might save millions when executed 20 years from now.

It's not that black and white. French intelligence, which is actually pretty good, and French special forces are side by side with us in Afghanistan. France has pressured Iran to come clean on the nuke program. France recently passed stringent (relatively speaking) anti-terrorism laws similar to England's and is now implementing them. France is the site for a number of terrorist cells linked to international groups, most notably from Algeria (the recent busts in Toronto and Montreal were of offshoot cells of that same group). AND notably the French intelligence agency recently broke with tradition by allowing the CIA to open a joint anti-terrorism operation in France - never been done before.

So that's a lot for a terrorist to hate about France.

**Amish and Baptists outta control? Maybe it's a radical sect of Lutherns. You know how they like to hammer stuff on doors.**

LOL...early morning chuckle. Thanks. :o)

"Weakness will only incourage them to push further."

Appeasers just don't get it and never will. The only way to get through to these people is to crush them.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Quagmire it is! A genuine quagmire at that. Chuckle...

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Is the lamestream even mentioning Muslims at all as the perps? I haven't turned on the tv since Sunday...

Yet I do see all the lamestream online outlets leaving out the word Muslims entirely. You'd think it was white Parisian gangs doing the burning and rioting.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

"five policemen were reported injured" and ZERO rioters injured.

Typical French military action.

[Victor]

Well, that explains a lot. Good info, thanks. How do you know about the CIA ops?

[ColdSteelTalon]

The french are reaping what they have sown for their appeasment policies toward muslim terrorists.

[cdbull23]

President Bush: "You are either with us or against us."

Islamo-Fascist: "Either you ARE us or against us."

[NavVet]

The conservative minister, who has ambitions of running for president in two years, has drawn criticism for his tough rhetoric, especially for referring to delinquents as "rabble". Even when Paris is burning the French criticize the prime minister for saying something "harsh" about the people that are setting it on fire. However, did the Germans manage to defeat such a resolute people.

[cblue55]

The French not appease? Remember who the great appeasers were when Bush was making his case for War in Iraq? France, Germany, and Russia. I wonder if France will ever change their tune in light of the increasing Muslim uprising on their own soil. I doubt it very much.

"It is truly amazing that this has been allowed to continue this long."

Well, that's what happens when you've been trained to always surrender. LOL.
