Hollande: 'We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless'
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/13/15 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 11/13/2015 7:52:05 PM PST by markomalley

French President Francois Hollande promised early Saturday morning that France would respond to terrorist attacks that killed more than 120 people with a "pitiless" war against the group responsible.

"We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless," he said at the Bataclan, the site of one of the attacks, according to the Guardian.

"Because when terrorists are capable of committing such atrocities, they must be certain that they are facing a determined France, a united France, a France that is together and does not let itself be moved, even if today we express infinite sorrow," Hollande added.

Hollande's remarks came after what appears to be the biggest terrorist attack ever on French soil, and some emerging signs that the Islamic State is responsible.

They also may pose a challenge to the Obama administration, which has faced increasing criticism about whether its plan to "degrade and ultimately destroy" ISIS is working fast enough. Secretary of State John Kerry was in Vienna Friday for more talks about how to handle the Syrian civil war, which has been credited with creating the conditions for the Islamic State to thrive there.

"These are heinous, evil, vile acts," Kerry said in response to the attacks. "Those of us who can must do everything in our power to fight back against what can only be considered an assault on our common humanity."

Don’t underestimate the European capacity to engage in genocide when provoked enough. Muslim areas of Paris are off limits to local law enforcement because the inhabitants adhere to Sharia Law (in other words they are lawless).

Will this latest example of Muslim savagery lead to France policing these enemy enclaves? I’ll be watching closely to see if French actions meet French rhetoric.

3 small words.

Hot air and does he identify the Enemy. If the Enemy cannot be named then the war will be fought blind and will be lost. Europeans are facing cultural, economic and maybe even physical extermination and they cannot bring themselves to identify the enemy that is destroying them. We suffer the same blindness in our own government and throughout the Liberal society, Hollywood, the Schools, the Media, the government and the whole political class. The 2nd Amd needs to be spread to those states and cities that fear armed citizens. Eliminating free fire zones aka gun free zones would go a long way to preventing this kind of attack in America.

The enemy of France is the Muslim 10% of France.

France must expel the Islamic hairball that currently resides in its belly.

Madame Hollande the enemy is in your cities, walking your boulevards, on your trains, eating a croissant in your cafe, praying in a neighborhood mosque, burning your cars at night, raping your women, plotting the next massacre. You and your left wing agenda invited a mad dog into your house. How are you going to get rid of them???

France is the European country most apt to do what needs to be done i.e. expel all its Moslems. That seems to contradict everything we have come to despise about France but I believe it is true. I don’t really expect it to happen at all but if it does in one of those countries it will be France that does it.

find out who they were and go after their families

Isn't that kind of what the Russians used to do? Maybe they still do, especially after that airliner went down. I heard they would send body parts from family members to the terrorists.

I wouldn’t. They are suicide bombers. They will sacrifice as many as they need to in order to further the cause. Narcing out a muslim simply puts more of them in prison which fills the recruitment agenda.

Believe nothing a muslim says or does. Ever.

France has countless “Islamic No-Go Zones”. Let us know when those are shut down and the terrorists running them are exterminated.

Things might be different this time. Usually leaders are well protected from the pains they inflict on the people. Hollande was at the site of this attack when it happened.

Who's got a copy of that iconic photo showing the Parisienne man weeping as he watches the Nazis marching down the boulevard in WW2 Occupied France?

France should provide arms to Muslims to show how much they trust the Muslims. Furthermore, French citizens should be forced to appear in buildings which are rigged with explosives that Muslims can detonate at any time.

This is how you deal with threats—you show them you deeply care about them, their ideals and their methods. You show that you are bigger than them by giving them your own head to chop off.

You change people by changing their hearts by letting them kill you and rape your children. You willingly disarm and show them you never meant to be a threat.

Prior to being beheaded in your own home, you show them how to work your entertainment system and you leave a Jerry Lewis movie playing in the background.

He means a war against the exact dozen people who did these acts... Not going any further on those who are like minded.
