| #10 YNET NEWS > AL-QAEDA FORUM SITE > JIHADIS = MUSLIMS NOW INSPIRED TO REINVADE/CONQUER FRANCE AND CONVERT IT INTO A MUSLIM COUNTRY [Islamist Sharia]. FRANCE is "second stop" on the march for conquest of all [continental?]Europe after the liberation of ANDALUSIA, SPAIN = SPAIN/IBERIA. |

| #9 Barbara, of far greater importance is rolling back its intensely damaging Eurabia Pact that France has implemented over the last few decades. Severing close ties to the Islamic world will help abate a stupendous amount of very damaging triangulation against Western interests. After that, neutralizing the internal Muslim threat is a cakewalk. |

| #8 #6: "Maybe they're ready to start acting like, you know, real allies again?" I'd be satisfied if they'd just start acting like they have some balls and stood up and jailed or kicked out the "youts" that are intent on destroying their country. |

| #7 "A French E-2C Hawkeye from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier French navy ship Charles de Gaulle" They managed to get it out of port? And it floated? |

| #6 It looks like the French are going to elect M. Sarkozy by a pretty wide margin. Maybe they're ready to start acting like, you know, real allies again? |

| #5 Those are stunningly gorgeous pictures. I have camera (and skill, darn it!) envy. So the French are out there supporting the troops in Afghanistan too, are they? And if I recall correctly, their special forces are wandering round the Afghan landscape, doing what exactly? or is it best that I don't ask that question... |

| #2 Well, 'le Francaise' wanted at sea practice on a ship that actually goes to sea. By the way, "Marine" is 'le Francaise' way of saying "Navy." That's why they speak in that outrageous accent. |

| #1 Marine = navy. French marines used to be colonial trops, now they're marine (IE navy) troops. |
