Looks like Spain opened the door for Islamists to take over Europe. Congratulations Spain you just joined Al Qaeda. Looks like France is next!

Has France Surrendered yet?

[cajungirl]

I feel so ashamed of myself but this is giving me a major chuckle. I am a very bad person but I just can't help it.

[tiamat]

And the next sound we hear will be the riffling of bank-notes as the Froggies try to pay off the terrorists.

[finnman69]

I thought France was insulated from terror attacks because they were against the War in Iraq.

[mewzilla]

Uh oh! Guess the check didn't clear...

[mhking]

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

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

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

The world will mourn the loss of snooty waiters, unshaved women and l'acadamie francaise

[HELLRAISER II]

You know I don't wish harm on anyone, but if I did then France definately deserves the wake up call that it will surely be, if and when this happens. Then they won't be talking so much crap when it happens to them, they'll just be crying about us helping them and when they do I hope we hike up our middle finger and tell them to rotate on it.

Franco-Arabia here we come.

Meanwhile the French help China threaten Taiwan....

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1098448/posts

FRANCE IS JOINING WITH CHINA in an effort to intimidate Taiwan:

China and France will hold rare joint naval exercises off the mainland's eastern coast on Tuesday, just four days before Beijing's rival, Taiwan, holds presidential elections.

China's official Xinhua news agency made no link between the exercises off Qingdao -- about 780 miles from Taiwan's northernmost point -- and the election.

But the show of military strength and solidarity signaled China's desire to isolate the self-governing island before the vote and its first-ever referendum, which Beijing views as a provocative step toward independence.

Don McArthur observes: "Either the world is insane, the French are insane, or I've gone insane . . . the French are joining the Chinese Communists in an attempt to intimidate a Democracy?!?!"

There's apparently no limit to what the French are willing to do in order to feel important on the world stage. That's a form of insanity, I guess, though I suppose it's possible that these exercises were entered into without thought of the Taiwanese elections, at least on the part of the French.

Of course, it's unclear how intimidated the Taiwanese will be by the French navy. I wonder if the Charles De Gaulle will be there. . . . Heh.

My favorite photomontage of Bush reposndint to Chirac in this situation.

Don't blame spain for this one. The smelly cheese eating surrender monkeys have been ready to appease from day one. I hope Chirac is spending lots of francs for new surrender flags for all of his smelly electorate.

[Rutles4Ever]

This is not going to be pretty.

The factionalizing of Europe will only lead to one end. Human history is littered with the blood of Europe.

Britain will need to crack down hard on their resident terrorists. Heck, this may eventually lead to the cooperation of longtime enemies (i.e. England and Catholic Ireland) should the threat of Islam reveal itself in a tangible way in the U.K.

Zaropeta's inflammatory language isn't helping, either. If Europe becomes an "us" and "them" continent, the prospect of another war in Europe is not far-fetched....

Leave it to al Qaeda to divide and conquer...

[Savage Beast]

So after subduing Spain, they're going to attack at...let me guess...Poitiers?

[Semper Paratus]

Looks like Spain opened the door for Islamists to take over Europe

The Islamic wave broke going against the Franks 1200 years ago don't look for a repeat.

[conservativecorner]

I also should mention that I think Chirac is playing "Wag The Tail of The Dog" on this story. Why would they be attacked when they are currently ready to surrender.

[mtbopfuyn]

FNC is on this now. Never before heard of group Servants of Allah sent a fax.

Yeah, sure. Probably some 14 year olds out on spring break. Come on, AQ and France are best buddies so why would attack France?
