And the left would like us to believe that Zarqawi isn't an international threat.

Watch Sarkozy. He may be an even bigger fish in French politics in the future.

This is good. Too bad it seems a big car-burning party was required to get the ball rolling.

"large quantities of military weapons and explosives"

These are nothing but peace-keeping weapons. Don't worry. Muslims are peaceful!

Paris has now become a "breading ground for terrorism". It's time to withdraw immediately.

So...we are supposed to believe that these relatively obscure groups in France have ties to Al Quida...but Saddam Hussein did not?

This is all the more punctuation on the pressing need for us to have taken Saddam down, and gives all the more lie to the liberal/social dogma opposing the war effort.

I never thought I would hear "French police" and "seized" in the same sentence! Whoda thunk it?

"Four people have been released but police are still holding 23 people in custody on suspicion of terrorism-related offences. They include Ouassini Cherifi, 30, who has just served a five-year jail term for trafficking forged passports used by armed militants."

This guy's a terrorist and they let him back into their society after his jail time was up? France is begging for trouble with islam.

I'm sure they are storing those weapons to protect local mosques in event of a western attack. Chirac can sleep comfortably at night, knowing they are no threat. Of course, he has dozens of bodyguards while his citizens possess mostly "locked doors".

Imagine where the real hauls are stored....
I would have to guess the mosques.

This is the same district that started the carbeques last month. From stories i've read over the years it sounds like a perfect place for this type of activity. An ethnic enclave of fellow travellers where the police can't really conduct much in the way of an effective investiagation. Within a relatively short distance to all kinds of wealthy banks or businesses to rob and Lefty charities to solicit.

French police have seized large quantities of military weapons and explosives ...

Have they surrendered yet?

This is an interesting turn considering France had all kinds of illegal weapons contracts with Saddam, which in turn armed al-Qaeda.

It's just French youths acting out. Let them work out their emotions and all will be well.

The world has to come to the realization especially with TODAY'S election that Iraq is now the real deal. So this doesn't surprise me one little bit. The world must have a stable Iraq. So they've all got to step up to the plate and start acting responsible.
