Also From Reuters:

PARIS, March 16 (Reuters) - An Islamist group has threatened to stage attacks in France, a Justice Ministry spokeswoman told Reuters on Tuesday.

The warning spoke of possible attacks within France and against foreign interests, she said.

No further information was immediately available.

(If it bugs 'em too much, we could send them a fruit basket...)

I think they would prefer:

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE

Keeping with tradition, after receiving the latest terrorist threat, the prime minister of France has announced he has ordered his troops to drop their weapons, they will abolish their government and set up the first Islamic Nation in Western Europe.

That surrender monkey ivory tower idiot proposed that we negotiate with Al-Qaeda. A sit-down and get to know one another meeting is what he had in mind, so we could get an understanding of what they want so we can give it to them so they will leave us along. What an idiot. OReilly and the other guy had a field day with him - they kept asking him why he would want to negotiate with monsters that wanted to kill him.

[oyez]

Looks that are doing the "French Mistake."

[chiefqc]

Don't worrry the fearless leader of france, Jock Strap, is in control.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

But what they really don't deserve is to have us save their bacon. Again. But we will. Grrrrr....

We don't do it because of what they are, we do it because of who we are.

U.S. cities? World cities? On my block?

US cities? Pray for our troops.

World cities? Pray for their troops.

On my block? One shot, one kill.

NEW TERROR THREAT AGAINST FRANCE

What??? Someone is going to make them take a shower?

I suspect that the Madrid bombing was a strategic error in that the deaths and the throwing of the election are at a new level that is far different than before. My estifmation is that many AQ are going to die in order to "decrease our exposure". I think it was a very bad, probably terminal error for many of the dudes in huggies.

[Eaker]

On my block? One shot, one kill.

Yes indeed!

"I hope they won't be too upset if we sit on the sidelines and watch...."

Be careful, we'll be sending troops to protect the unprotected very soon. By the end of the year we should have at least two battalions in country.

relax.....there has been so much downer news lately that we are just having a few laughs....no one actually wishes anything bad on the French people.....

however, I do wish their economy would tank.....as a direct result of true Americans spending their time and money on American products....

If we would only buy AMERICAN, and take our vacations in this wide, open country, and avoid Europe all together, than that would send a very quick message...

[glock rocks]

It would occur to me that you have some degree of confidence that the islamists won't try a spainish style pre-election operation on our turf. That's somewhat comforting, considering their local rat allies.

Short of that, to hell with france, I'm concerned about our good allies in Great Britain.

[ladyinred]

France can't blame President Bush if they are indeed attacked since they do not support our war on terror. I do expect the left to find someway to spin this into his fault, but this will clearly show the true colors of the terrorists. They didn't attack Spain because of us, they attacked them because they are on a mission to take over the world.

[glock rocks]

Don't you think the french got the message after they put our men and women in risk in Iraq? If they didn't get it then, they aren't going to get it now... further, the islamists have put a distinct scent in the air over we Americans traveling to spain this spring, have they not?

"On my block? One shot, one kill.

Yes indeed!"

Y'all are too conservative..
Fire as many times as you feel like.. whatcha think those mags hold 40 rounds for anyway???

Not that one shot is insufficient, but psyops comes into play as well.

Watch for collaterals and see 'em scurry!

The letter linked the threat to the French ban on headscarves in state schools, the deputy editor of daily Le Parisien Jacques Esperandieu told Reuters.

Look what not standing up to terrorism gets them.

Silly France, the terrorists only want blood, even if it has to be over headscarves.

[stands2reason]

THX for the new tagline...

[glock rocks]

whatcha think those mags hold 40 rounds for anyway???

*G* ...those 500m shots get kinda unreliable after the barrel gets just so hot...

[stands2reason]

This is the first time terror really worked. So some groups are banking on the threat to get results (appeasement) as well. Not surprising, really.
