Quagmire: Paris

American Conservative Calls For End To Brutal Occupation of France By French; Demands Divestiture In French Industry, If There's Any Of That Left

Okay, this isn't really funny at all. The seventh night of the Intifada-On-The-Seine is the worst ever.

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's government has promised to restore order but is battling to paper over differences between ministers over the best way to tackle the unrest.

French officials are torn between the difficult choice of cowardly surrender versus craven appeasement. "They both have their pros and cons," an aide to the Minister of State remarked.

And the violence is spreading into other neighborhoods:

But on Wednesday night young people threw rocks at police in six suburbs in the Seine-Saint-Denis region north of Paris that includes Clichy, police said. About a dozen cars burned in the Le Blanc-Mesnil suburb and residents - some in bathrobes and slippers - poured into the streets to watch.

Weakness encourages violence? Nahhhhh. How silly. How simplissime.

We've already lost this war.

Our governments are more concerned with not offending muslims than defeating them

Islam has never been defeated, only pushed back, Islam was never pushed back with platitudes, pontifications, "ideas," "tolerance," inclusion, democracy, or any other non-lethal method. Islam has only ever been pushed back when we were killing their asses.

With our own governments welcoming Islam with open arms and legislation, this war was over before we knew we were in it. America will be Islamic.

On a brighter note, if we all 'Go Islo', I'll learn how to do that ear piercing sound arab women make and blow every ones ear drums out. :)

Why does everyone keep saying this isn't funny? The thought of these wuzzies running around trying to find the "root cause" of the yutes anger while at the same time trying not to hurt their feelings as various Citroens and Puegots light the night sky is Hi-Stare-I-Cal!

I spent months getting increasingly pissed off listening to de Villepin and Chirac tell us that we were misguided, if not criminally stupid in our approach to Iraq and Islam in general. Well bite me Jacques. Spend some of that money your skimmed in the Oil for Food debacle and build a wall around Paris. You've apparently already lost the suburbs.

That Interior Minister (Sarkovy? something like that) seems to want to kick some ass.

Now wait one damn minute here, folks. Who ever said these were Islamists rioters? All the news stories I've read never mention this.

Then you clearly haven't been reading enough. Here is just one of many. From ABC New no less.

I kid, of course.

But seriously, the MSM took a long time to acknowledge the Islam angle.

I wonder why?
