French Announce New Terror Alert Levels!

French government announced that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender". The raise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, thereby disabling its military.

"with some resistance in the Paris region"

Why does this strike me as amusing?

TRANSFORM ISLAM!

France has made an utter and complete fool of itself. It can't defend itself, it can't prevent the future....which is an Islamic French State. We had better start worrying now about what to do with it once it does become fully Islamic...

Dang. The French are hurting. Wine sales are way off and vineyards are going bankrupt. I'd expect that tourism will be very much affected. C'est domage!

Sounds like the Gov is banning the crowds gathering to protest the rioters.

[Frohickey]

I think that the supposed decrease in riots is because the French are running out of cars to burn. I meant, how many cars could Peugot have made.

france says rioting has reached acceptable level...

Now they are bringing out the triple secret probation!

Jean Francois Kerry was going to lead a flotilla up the Seine to rescue his allies, the French - but his boat sank in 2004.

"Chirac and the government have been heavily criticised over their handling of the crisis. But an opinion poll carried out by the BVA research group on Nov. 4-5, and published on Saturday, showed 56 percent of French people approved of Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy's tough actions."


Go Sarkozy.

A quiet night in France...

I'd hate to be there on a bad night.

The Muslim youths in Paris have a more depressing future than the Muslim youths in Baghdad.

I think it is no coincidence that the riots began in Paris 2 days after the Iraqis formally okayed their constitution.

Police said 463 vehicles were set on fire across France, a slight fall from the previous night, but the number of vehicles torched in the areas around Paris rose from 84 to 111. "This confirms the downward trend overall, with some resistance in the Paris region," national police chief Michel Gaudin told reporters on Friday.

LOL

I hear that there has been progress in negotiations...
