Attorney General Eric Holder is in Paris this week to attend a meeting on fighting terrorism, but did not participate in a march with world leaders Sunday to honor the 17 people killed last week in France.
More than 40 world leaders marched arm in arm through Paris to rally for unity and freedom of expression and to honor the victims of the three days of terrorist attacks.
The leaders headed a demonstration of at least tens of thousands of people who converged on the capital after three gunmen last week attacked a newspaper office, kosher supermarket and police.
Among the world leaders attending the event are French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

“US at war with lone wolf terrorists, attorney general says in Paris”
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/11/eric-holder-paris-unity-rally-war-against-terrorists
Speaking to NBC from Paris, where he was attending a counter-terrorism summit and the march, Holder said: That is the thing that I think keeps me up most at night, this concern about the lone wolf who goes undetected. Questioned by CNN about how the Paris attackers were known to authorities but still managed to act, he said such people float under the radar screens.
I certainly think we are at war with those who would commit terrorist attacks and corrupt the Islamic faith to try to justify their terrorist actions, he told ABC during a tour of Sunday talk shows as he led the Obama administrations response to the attacks. Thats who we are at war with and we are determined to take the fight to them.
The White House said on Sunday it will host a conference on anti-extremism on 18 February. Holder said: We will bring together all of our allies to discuss ways in which we can counteract this violent extremism that exists around the world.
Speaking to CNN, Holder said: Were horrified by what happened and we express our condolences to the French people. What we saw in France over the course of this last week is unfortunately what were going to have to confront into the future.
We have seen these kinds of attacks or attempts to have these kinds of attacks certainly in the United States, in the United Kingdom, weve seen this in Nairobi, in Australia and in Canada. This is the nature of the new threat that we must confront. We can I think successfully confront it if we share information in a way that we perhaps have not in the past.
Who is the black dude in the hat. He is front and center. Is he the next president of France?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Italy Prime Minister Matteo Renzi were among 44 foreign leaders marching with Hollande. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu - who earlier encouraged French Jews to emigrate to Israel - and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas were also present.
Immediately to Hollande’s left, walked Merkel and to his right Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita. France has provided troops to help fight Islamist rebels there.
Meanwhile, Blarney Obama is headed to Iowa to speak about his plan to mess up the Internet. Hmmm, let’s see, which is more important - messing up the Internet or showing the world the US is really in with battling Islamic terrorism? Well, this is an easy question. Under Blarney we’re NOT into fighting Islamic terrorism, and another campaign speech, regardless of its utterly ridiculous main theme, is Blarney’s bread and butter.
The absence of Eric Holder made the think of the "Where is Waldo?" books and "Look and Find Elmo." And "Where Was Barack Hussein Obama During Benghazi Attack?"
Eric Holder is in photo on a balcony from before the march, a little before halfway down the page:
Holder is in Paris to see how many Radical DOJ Lawyers are needed to defend any arrested Terrorists
What the hell is Holder doing in France? I thought all the attackers were killed. There are no prisoners to exchange.
I assume he is the muslim leader of Mali, home to the terrorist who shot up the Kosher shop.
He was being interviewed by CNN, a fluff piece as usual, instead of marching against Islamic terrorism. This was a shameful day for the USA.
Damn! That makes me so happy. There will be no decisions made until after the end of the first term of the next President if the Keystone deliberations are anything to do with it. It's a typical bureaucratic move - "Let's have a meeting" - doing anything useful be damned. Once again the Administration proves that it is made up of low level functionaries and not leaders. Sophomoric radical idealists with no real world capabilities, with Obozo at the front, but definitely not leading.
Speaking of which. What are the odds that the guns the “activists” used were from Holder’s Fast & Furious operation?
Thanks for sharing. No doubt it angered him if he ever read it. Which would then lead to him finding a way to punish the writer. Its the Chicago way. Btw, Do Chicago politicians ever reach maturity ?
Would not surprise me.
Deaths caused by Tea Party Members in past 10 years - ZERO
Deaths caused by Radical Muslims - HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS...
Obama, Holder and liberal elites can't do math... or they're nuts.
Bernard Henri Levy ( I think that is his name) was on CNN was so delighted with Kerry’s speech in solidarity said in French. He traced back the last time someone of note from the US addressed France was Roosevelt circa WWII.
Wonder where the “activists’” rocket launcher traces back from?

The Stingers of Benghazi: Was the U.S. engaged in gun-running?
If they wanted a march of international persons in solidarity against terrorism, they ought to send about a thousand legionnaires into the “no go” zones of Paris.
He’s there for one reason....Looking for information to bring back to Obama....wants to know what these folks are saying about him. It’s all about him.
