File under: Islamic State

#1 ~1,700Frenchmen have joined the militants in Iraq and Syria. French government officials have estimated that hundreds of those men have either died in battle or returned home.

Seems like a part of a viable strategy to thin out the herd. France better root out those who have already returned home. They should not be allowed to come home. Maybe for those who have already returned home, Devils Island could be re-activated.

#2 Better if they started in several Paris no-go areas.

#3 While the French do receive some well-derserved chiding, they do bring the heat. They just do it w/o much fanfare.

Yes, a hat tip to the Frogs. Less "fanfare" is a good thing. I doubt they'd tolerate the likes of a Robert J. "Rob" O'Neill.
