Situation in Paris

If you haven't noticed yet... 3 (apparently) coordinated attacks in Paris - one at a soccer match, one at a restaurant, one at a metal concert. Currently the stadium is still pretty locked down, and the rock concert is a hostage situation. Um, make that 4. Add a shopping center to the list. LeHalle. Happens to be at a major rail hub. And it's in an area known to be an al queda stronghold in Paris.

Once again... Radicals V. Rationals. And the US hides its head in the sand, asking for more refugees... so we can be as European as Europe. Um Hmm...

    H2ungar: Yes. I understand your reference now! I think we all have arrived at our limit of these years of Islamic Terror Raids and it is time to stand our ground. It is though, unfortunate, that we have this particular President in which to face this challenge.

    Translated to the real meaning - "I cannot oppose them and their holy mission to make it a truly islamist world, so I will do a smoke and mirrors show to appease the American Citizens while we allow them to infiltrate"...

    This was in answer to your comment to
    Susanne that "maybe this tragedy will prevent
    another one - here." We should be so fortunate
    and that's what I meant by "from your lips to
    GOD's ears" = and hope HE hears you!!

    I originally read this as: "I think for a while he was trying to make sure they were Buddhist monks attacking Paris or he was looking for an angel to blame it on..." It made sense that way too...

    Jan, lookin' fer angels now

    Not only that. Just read where the WH Demented Dude notes "ISIS is not getting
    stronger.....we have contained them." If anyone should be contained, it's him, in a
    cage!!
    h WH demented dude

    My first thought about all those poor souls gunned down in the theater...if only concealed carry were allowed in the progressive French regime. The populace has been neutered defense-wise, and the barbarians encouraged to move in and out-breed the French natives.

    I think for a while he was trying to make sure they were Buddhist monks attacking Paris or he was looking for an angle to blame it on climate change. After all, that's the biggest threat in the world from his point of view.

    US aggression, a Ron Paul pointed out, will invite all the peoples of the many countries that we have offended with our aggressive interventions to pile on big time. Retaliation will be vicious. All in the West (who have been pressured by the US to form a "coalition") will be blamed and “punished” even though the tragic mess was orchestrated by the few who manipulated foreign policy for their own benefit.

    ISIS is saying that the attacks were in retaliation for intervention in Syria and Iraq. Victims have long memories. Now France and the US will gear up to intervene even more, and we get into a situation where WWIII starts.

    Even the worst dictators convince themselves that their war mission is justified, if not noble. The talk of compromise between two versions of government intervention is only a matter of “my authoritarianism” versus “your authoritarianism.”

    I think the US needs to get its nose out of the 900+ military bases it has in 140+ nations and let the folks in those places go fight among themselves. After all, reports are that ISIS and Al Qaeda.are already fighting each other.



    But, I bet this will escalate and the top 25 military equipment supplier will love it. Retaliation will come to our shores again. Time to move to some place safer.

    this is an excellent first pragmatic step. Eradicate ISIS? we have been at war with Islam for decades. remember Iran and the hostages 1979???!!!! barbary pirates??!!! military is not enough. this is a war of ideas. Islam must be decried everywhere and at all times.But that does NOT mean you may stop every person is Islamic at the border. Or that we start throwing all muslims in jail-or even using military force before defining the ideas-or we will be in a Christian Holy war! We must first define our Ethics and separate it from the political (walls, war). Until we stand up and decry the ideas and we are clear that Islam is the enemy not just jihad, we will never win

    since 1979 when the muslims took the American hostages and every hostile act that has taken place since in the judeo Christian world perpetrated by muslims against us not one word of anger has come from the "so called good muslims" saying that this has to stop. that said if we make the desert into glass which will eliminate those who the isis group is supposedly holding hostage will not matter. if they are unwilling to fight for themselves and they therefore support the bad guys they too are the enemy. the only way to end the attacks is by eliminating the muslims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are in my opinion the missing link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after 911 we saw thousands of young men volunteer to go to war. is that happening in france? maybe they should ask putin to step up his raids since both countries have lost the lives of citizens because of muslims. he would probably do it and he would call them terrorists versus what comes out of the mealy mouth of 0!!!!!!!

    For everyone's information: Les Halles is more than the kind of shopping center you and I are familiar with. Les Halles is the largest open-air marketplace-within-a-city in the world. Les Halles is famous for never sleeping. You can buy anything there. Even, shall we say, companionship. I would imagine the attitude of the police is just as lax as that depicted in Jack Lemmon's motion-picture project, Irma la Douce.

    I would also surmise that of course ISIS would regard Irma as anything but "sweet," and would seek to kill her, and all the other Irmas.

    That's why they struck Les Halles, in addition to its sheer size and, more to the point, the size of the crowds it regularly draws.

    Right on! As my sister said, "ISIS a threat...Ha, not when you have climate change to worry about."

    Churchill said after Chamberlain’s appeasement:
    ‘You were given the choice between war and dishonour.
    You chose dishonour, and you will have war.”"

    A prediction? Not really.

    An educated guess, extrapolating from facts I'd say. At least if you are working under the assumption that all these "random" and "isolated" incidents really aren't.

    I'd say your "prediction" is right on the money.

    I agree with you on the National Guard.
    The DOHS has not been really tested yet but I don't have a very high opinion from what they have done so far.

    Uuh Shu Rel. In Rumanian phonetics means calm calm down sweat the small stuff. But on the other hand I thought you posted in a very calm manner. No one's head got ripped off...so far.

    More objectively as long as our government subscribes to never letting a good crisis go unused they will do little to prevent good crisis from occuring especially when the blame will attach to someone or something else. I really don't have a warm fuzzy feeling knowing my National DOHS is on the alert. I'd rather have the National Guard.
