"~~George? C'est moi, Jacques!"
A lot of us said never again to that...
"Dig up your rubbish. It's fouling our soil." Other slogans included: "Death to the Yankees" and "Saddam Hussein will win and spill your blood."

Paris - \'We burned 15 cars. How many do you have?\' A grim contest is under way in France as kids from disadvantaged suburbs vie with each other to see who can riot the hardest.
On Internet websites, young arsonists brag about their successes. Rioting, it seems, has become a trend sport, as youths in immigrant areas of provincial cities begin to rally to the call from Paris.
While political slogans hold no sway among these youngsters, hatred for Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy is palpable. \'Now we\'re the ones chasing you with the Karcher (high-pressure hoses),\' they say, referring to Sarkozy\'s pledge to clean the suburbs of \'scum\'.
What began as pitched battles has transformed into a nightly game of cat-and-mouse with the police.
Two or three people set out armed with mobile phones, crowbars and incendiary material. A quick hit with the crowbar on the windscreen of a police van, a Molotov cocktail inside - and they\'re off back into the sprawling housing estates.
The rioters have also started using motorbikes and mobile phones to trace the movements of police riot squads, in tactics reminiscent of urban guerrilla movements.
\'Each night we turn this place into Baghdad\', says one masked youth in Sevran near Paris. As a political statement, there have been better - but these riots seem to be more aimed at the television cameras than the National Assembly.
\'It would be better to go into Paris than break up everything here,\' his friend says, appearing to consider that the victims of the rioting are predominantly their own neighbours and friends.
\'Why did they set my car on fire, why mine?\' asks one young man as he watches it go up in flames. He knows the perpetrators, he says. They\'re neighbours of his, but he refuses to name them.
\'These are our kids,\' says Mohammed Rezzoug, vice president of Blanc-Mesnil football club.
Every night, Rezzoug is out on the streets talking to local youths in a bid to prevent his own sports hall going up in smoke. \'They answer me: \'Momo, we\'ll fuck them all\',\' he says.
Lurking behind the lines of burning cars is the knowledge that these riots could soon become a matter of life and death.
On Wednesday night, a disabled woman in Sevran barely escaped death in a burning bus.
Youths barricaded the road with burning tyres and threw fuel into the bus. All the other passengers fled, but the 56-year-old, unable to move, was sprayed with petrol and then a burning rag was thrown inside.
The woman survived the attack with second and third-degree burns on one-fifth of her body, after the bus driver managed to pull her to safety.
It's more likely that what is happening now is why Chirac didn't support the Iraq invasion.
yes. the police must be off the streets by 10PM.
France has been invaded by the scum they imported from the Turd World.
And they have NO will to resist the invasion.
France is finished.
Go ahead, cheer for the Muslims. I won't.

Precocious kids! ;-)
Ever hear of Lafayette?

IMO, Le Frogs do even qualify as red headed step children, I could care less about the creeps. If they won't fight for themselves, frig'em and feed'em fish heads.
Maybe Saddam should run France from now on.
No, you are wrong. THe french brought this on themselves and are doing nothing to stop it. Will anyone in that useless country grow a spine? So far it doesn't look like it and I'm not surprised.
It doesn't fit the agenda of the socialists. Things like this give multiculturalism a bad name. - tom
French need to get that old spirit back. Then the dhimmies will be running for cover. Can't wait for a bunch of young French dudes to sack into these rabblemakers with baseball bats.
I was thinking of a call more in an advice-seeking intent:)
To actually fight and die for France again..hard to imagine us supporting such action.
They have sold themselves out- have watched and done nothing as the qualities that were the best of being french have given way to this insane multi-culturalism. ...they do not have my sympathy tonight.
I have a faster solution..tell some of the British Hooligans that England just lost a 1-0 match to the rioters..and offer free transport across the channel..talk about an as*-kicking..
The French are really Anglo-Saxon Protestants who fled from an RC dominated europe 200 years ago?
Why'd they go back?
They are fouling their own nest. It's gauling...
Get ready for a mass exodus of law abiding people from France. The dirty little secret that most French wont tell you is that almost all of them speak English well. Perhaps we know why now. They perhaps knew this day was coming.
The mooligans in France have been burning cars for sport for years. They burn them annually, on New Year's day, in Neuhof. Here's an excerpt from a1998 article
Car burning in particular seems to have become a popular form of expression. In the Strasbourg area, some 500 cars were torched in 1997 up from 400 the previous year. Other cities were not so hard-hit but have had increases."Burning cars has become a kind of ritual," said scholar Farhad Khosrokhavar, who studies young Muslims in the suburbs. "Through this violence, [young people] feel involved in society. They feel like stars.
France is learning that they are hated just because they are a different race. Their big open mindedness (taking money under the table) is not working.
Not none of me...I'm rather enjoying their angst.
