"Modern day Maginot Line."

My thoughts exactly. No doubt they are waiting to hear the surrender terms.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Two Molotov cocktails were tossed into a mosque in the southern city of Carpentras, slightly damaging the porch, local officials said. It was not immediately clear whether the attack was linked to the unrest that has racked the poor suburbs and towns of France since Oct. 27.

President Jacques Chirac asked that investigators uncover those behind the mosque attack in Carpentras,

A slightly burned porch will get a full investigation, while a multi-week, country-wide riot is completely hands off for the police.

This is BEYOND INSANE!! This makes stupidity look smart. Wild monkeys could run a country better than these idiots.

I'm sorry, I did not mean that, idiots have a higher intelligence than these... people (for lack of a better word).

unrest has forced France to squarely confront the touchy issue of the poor suburbs ringing big cities

Only the French could successfully surround and besiege themselves.

Previously, on As the Republic Burns:

Today, we don’t want an armistice - we want peace,” national police Chief Michel Gaudin told reporters. “An armistice is a temporary halt. What we want is definitive peace for the suburbs, but they haven't yet accepted our surrender.”

"Six hours ago, we listened by radio to the presentation of the surrender offer we sent them. A spokesman for the rioters told Pierre, our representative, 'Ack-ack; ackackack? Ack! Ackack-ACK!' followed by a loud 'Boom!' after which the radio went dead."

"We are still attempting to analyze what it means, as we await his return. He should have been back hours ago, and we do not know what has delayed him"

Tune in for another gripping episode of As Republic Burns, same time, same station, tomorrow.

Yes ... perhaps opening your borders to six million Muslims who have no intention of assimilating was not a very good idea.

I'm so glad we don't have the same problem with the ten million Mexicans that sneak in across our borders. They assimilate quite well with the ten million that came before them who have no intention to assimilate ;-)

President Bush May Send Up To 5 Marines For French Assistance

President Bush has authorized the Joint Chiefs to begin drawing up a battle plan to pull France's ass out of the fire again. Facing an apparent overwhelming force of up to 400 pissed-off teenagers Mr. Bush doubts France's ability to hold off the little piss ants much longer. "Hell, if the last two world wars are any indication, I would expect France to surrender any day now", said Bush. Joint Chiefs head, Gen. Peter Pace, warned the President that it might be necessary to send up to 5 Marines to get things under control. The general admitted that 5 Marines may be overkill but he wanted to get this thing under control within 24 hours of arriving on scene. He also stated he was having a hard time finding even one Marine willing to help those ungrateful bastards out for a third time, but thought that he could persuade a few women Marines to do the job before they went on pregnancy leave.

President Bush asked Gen. Pace to get our Marines out of there as soon as possible after order was restored. He also reminded Gen. Pace to make sure the Marines do not take tooth brushes, soap, razors, or deodorant with them. The less they stand out, the better.

In an unrelated matter, President Bush told reporters that he was considering a "Flu for Oil" Program to ease our country's energy problem and prevent the upcoming pandemic. Nobody had a clue as to what the hell he was talking about.

"On Friday evening, two Molotov cocktails were tossed into a mosque in the southern city of Carpentras, slightly damaging the foyer. It was not immediately clear whether the attack was linked to the unrest that has wracked the poor suburbs and towns of France since Oct. 27."

I love this moral equivalency. The left love to conjure anti-Semitism as the equivalent of "Islamophobia." As if attacking a Jewish cemetary for no reason is the same as the intolerance many French must now feel to the Muslims rioting violently in their midsts.

Intolerance of Muslim rioting is a legitimate and desirable reaction and one that may have positive results. Appeasement will not.

[Tactical]

No matter what the cause, or the real problem, people need to know who they are dealing with, how to put an immediate stop to it before anything can be addressed to make corrections or solve things.

Pussy-footing around any violence will only embolden those being violent. Go for the throat, put the problem down and then fix it.

The French attitude of raising the white flag, talking and wringing their hands doesn't quite work so well. After a few hundred years, one would think they would have realized all of this by now?

Where the heck did common sense go, should we send them some? Naw...

Maybe the French could learn a thing or two from Bush. It's called a pre-emptive strike.

[Neo and the PC Matrix]

Preaching hatred for western culture in french mosques clearly had nothing to do with the riots. When Muslims riot in the streets, political correctness requires that any idealogical basis for this violence be dismissed. This leaves us with blaming the French for being racist and gives Muslims a twofold victory. FIRST, we get to hear the all to familiar "Islam is a religion of peace and this is not Islam" reprise. Naturally Muslims love endorsements of their religion everytime Islamic violence erupts. SECOND, Muslims further intimidate the French and inch closer to asserting their cultural agenda...whether its Mineretting Paris or Hijabing Parisians.

One Marine or Spartan

They need only instruct the French to play the "Call to rear-end smelling" everytime Muslims break out into violence. Once heard, a muslim is duty bound to find a rug and a bunch of men, bend over for Allah, and hit the ground. French can reform in the process, protecting property and lives.

Are ther serious? I thought this came to a halt? So, now the new state of normal in France is waking up to find your car burnt, kid's nursery school burnt or possibly your office? They plan on doing nothing to stop this?
