... With his usual killer comedy timing, the "leader of the free world" told George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning, America" this very morning that he'd "contained" ISIS and that they're not "gaining strength". A few hours later, a cell whose members claim to have been recruited by ISIS slaughtered over 150 people in the heart of Paris and succeeded in getting two suicide bombers and a third bomb to within a few yards of the French president.
Visiting the Bataclan, M Hollande declared that "nous allons mener le combat, il sera impitoyable": We are going to wage a war that will be pitiless.
Does he mean it? Or is he just killing time until Obama and Cameron and Merkel and Justin Trudeau and Malcolm Turnbull fly in and they can all get back to talking about sea levels in the Maldives in the 22nd century? By which time France and Germany and Belgium and Austria and the Netherlands will have been long washed away.

"In the end, the decadence of Merkel, Hollande, Cameron and the rest of the fin de civilisation western leadership will cost you your world and everything you love.
So screw the candlelight vigil."
I couldn't agree more

The Barbarians Are Inside, And There Are No Gates Sure there are gates. All the elites live in gated communities, with armed guards.

Now that the Daesh (a.k.a. IS, a.k.a. ISIS, a.k.a. ISIL) has claimed responsibility, a really pitiless war would open with the force de frappe vaporizing Raqqa.

Last night I decided to go back and listen to Steyn’s speech in Denmark back on Sept 26th.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ahFJqOJvck
It’s only 49 minutes and well worth the watch. During the talk, he came as close as anyone has in predicting the Paris attack even if he said nothing about a future event directly... it was embedded in his description of the prevailing attitudes to the cartoons and the massacre at Charlie Hebdo (especially the politicians) that show the table was so set that what happened in Paris was inevitable. The essence of his entire 49 minute talk is summed up in his line of his article today...”So screw the candlelight vigil.” And the thing that I took away from watching it the first time was the look of combined emotions in his eyes...the emotions of despair, resignation and an unstoppable resolve to fight to the bitter end. When I saw it again last night, it was his eyes that spoke volumes. God keep and protect this great man in the palm of His hand!

Here is Steyn this morning:

When the Allahu Akbar boys opened fire, Paris was talking about the climate-change conference due to start later this month, when the world's leaders will fly in to "solve" a "problem" that doesn't exist rather than to address the one that does. But don't worry: we already have a hashtag (#PrayForParis) and doubtless there'll be another candlelight vigil of weepy tilty-headed wankers. Because as long as we all advertise how sad and sorrowful we are, who needs to do anything?
Hey Mark, tell us how you really feel...

Totally agree - I’m tired of hearing about the mourning. If I was one of the dead I’d be screaming “get off your knees and go get the bastards!.”

They are truly enemy #1 - they are worse than the islamists.
Their multicultural, open border, suicidally “compassionate” ideology is worse than islam.

No gates, no guns, no swords no shields. And not even g-damn recognition that islam is terrorism. Islam is jihad, and jihad is terrorism.

Sure there are gates. All the elites live in gated communities, with armed guards. Odd how elites always figure out a way to protect their sorry asses... while throwing us under the bus...
