Yeah, action. Right. Looks like Chirac & Cie are waiting for things to cool down before risking their a$$es with anything drastic.

"at the proper time, if he considers it necessary".What's he waiting for? Versaille in flames? The Louvre destroyed? Notre Dame turned into a mosque?

France has a big problem when there is no one to surrender to.

Can you believe if something like this was happening in our country and Bush had not responded for nearly 2 weeks. The press, as well as the American public, would want his head.

Imagine Bush waiting 11 days to react to this type of activity.
Anyone see the major media outlets eviscerating Chirac?
Is the MSM biased? Oh hell no!

The meeting was called yesterday when a spokesman of the Head of the State stated that Mr. Chirac would express himself on the crisis in the suburbs "at the proper time, if he considers it necessary". He's being very French. It's beneath the dignity of the Head of State to worry about petty matters like Muslim riots and killings.
I think the original idea was to let them burn out the ghettos and then blame Sarkozy. But it's not at all certain that Sarkozy is the one who will come out of this looking bad. They thought they could contain the violence easily within the ghetto walls, but now it's beginning to look dicey. Patronizing benevolence from on high may not be what the voters want--especially since Chirac was already unpopular.

Jacques Chirac pleaded that it was the hour of "action". Action - as in Lights! Camera! Action!

The longer the French delay a powerful and decisive action, the stronger the muzzie power gets. In fact, its probably too late for the French to regain lost ground. The time to act was eight days ago.

I'm surprised the government hasn't fallen by now.

Er, about time, no?
But from what I have read, it looks like the only thing they're going to do is can Sarkozy and continue with their Muslim appeasement policy.

Jacques Chirac convened the Interior Security Council on violence in the suburbs in the Elysee Palace late Sunday afternoon. "We've got to protect our phony baloney jobs gentlemen".
From memory: Mel Brooks, the "Gov" in Blazing Saddles.
