By WAITING, as the title of this article says? Yeah... um... sure.

The unrest has forced France to squarely confront the touchy issue of the poor suburbs ringing big cities populated by immigrants and their French children.

They are majority Muslims who have FAILED to assimilate themselves into Western society...

[LikeLight]

In your face Leftist Global-Agenda/MSM attempted whitewash BUMP!

[layman]

Authorities have acknowledged the roots of the problem are deep-seated, perhaps linked to the French approach to immigration

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

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

Has he asked that investigators uncover those behind the attacks on churches and synagogues?

France deserves everything it gets.

[Jarhead1957]

This is a tough one; I don't know who to cheer for.

Hope France ask for help, it will be time for the single finger salute!

Some two weeks ago, tear gas fumes that invaded a mosque in northeast Paris suburb, Clichy-sous-Bois, where violence started, inflamed passions and fed what has become the worst ever suburban unrest in France.

The French Muslim youths have been fuming for years, but this large scale rioting began on October 27th.

I think the French youths realized that the French leaders were willing to let Heinous Hussein control the lives of their Muslim brethren in Iraq.

I think the French Muslims were inflamed by the Iraqi Muslims's official acceptance of their new constitution, on October 25th, because they realized that a Muslim in liberated Iraq has more hope for his future than a Muslim in France has.

"Police in Paris await feared attacks amid slight rise in vehicles torched."

If the number had declined by the same amount, would it have been a "slight decline"?

[Rightone]

Anyone know how many cars total have been destroyed since the rioting began back in late October? It must be around 8,000 or so???? Wow. Just incredible to have that much property destroyed. (And, that doesn't include all the other property burned and damaged.)

I guess it means this will be over when there are no vehicles left to torch?

The French sure must think their citizens are really stupid and can't learn to take steps to keep their vehicles out of harms way.

[JamminJAY]

Some 3,000 police fanned out around Paris on Saturday to counter feared weekend attacks on high-profile targets in the capital as the number of vehicles torched overnight rose slightly elsewhere in France, officials said.

Modern day Maginot Line.

[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.

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...

[rfreedom4u]

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.
