“Instability. The intensity with which they are held does not prevent nationalist loyalties from being transferable. To begin with, as I have pointed out already, they can be and often are fastened up on some foreign country. One quite commonly finds that great national leaders, or the founders of nationalist movements, do not even belong to the country they have glorified. Sometimes they are outright foreigners, or more often they come from peripheral areas where nationality is doubtful. Examples are Stalin, Hitler, Napoleon, de Valera, Disraeli, Poincare, Beaverbrook. The Pan-German movement was in part the creation of an Englishman, Houston Chamberlain.”

You accuse the French of surrendering but you’ve already psychologically surrendered half the West in a self-righteous fit of myopia, pessimism and misanthropy.

If you actually knew French history you would all feel like ignorant dorks.

But we all need whipping boys.

Sounds about normal for the followers of

. They seem to be confused about what it means to live in the “enlightened West” versus the medieval, barbaric sandbox from which they emigrated. Their desperate attempt to hang onto the lifestyle of 680 AD has put them at odds with the country they freely came to.

Their diehard single mindedness has led them to attempt to destroy many symbols of other cultures, including the Afghan Buddhas, many temples in India and even their attempts to destroy the Pyramids of Egypt (although that didn’t work out so well as they were to well built and took to much labour).

Having been given a free hand in Europe (since the 73 oil embargo) by the apoplectic Liberal do-gooders, Islamists have been slowly taking over many areas of Europe. Now they feel that since they own the place, might as well do some interior decorating. This type of behaviour will only continue to get worse, until the rightful landlord puts them back in their place.

But to get back to the original thread here, I think the Gaulies just might surprise us if their monuments are taken out.

Knock, knock. Hello? Can you please help me? I am looking for my favorite site: HotAir.com and seemed to have made a wrong turn somewhere. I’ve inadvertantly stumbled into the “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?/DaVinci Code Mash-up blog”…

Napolean was Corsican, actually. The French only win when they’re not being led by Frenchmen.

Yeah, the last truly phenomenal native-born French General was Vicomte de Turenne, who fought on the Thirty-Years War, and some of Louis XIV’s early wars. Marechal De Saxe was actually a real Continental mutt (Polish & German extraction, I think), so he’s out. I’ve also thought Tassigny was okay (WWII with Ike in the ETO, and Vietnam), but I’ve never heard much in the way of accolades for him from historians. Maybe Generals need time to get proper appreciation.

Funny, but I thought they used the same quotes in “Red Dawn”, not just “Longest Day”.

In the end, the French will do what the French ALWAYS do: throw up their cheese and wine filled hands and surrender. The women will don burquas and the men will drop to their knees and convert. Frnace is over. France is done. Kiss it goodbye. England will follow, then Belgium, the Netherlands, etc…

If you want to see Europe, get going, because in a few yrs, it will be as unsafe and unwelcoming as Saudi Arabia or any other Islamist state.

All we can do is sit back and decide whether or not we want to welcome the Euro post-christian refugees or send their boats to Canada and South America.

Les services de la direction de la surveillance du territoire (DST) are looking to identify the authors of a troubling message captured Thursday, January 10 by the Portuguese civil aviation controllers. It deals with an intercepted conversation which took place at dawn on short waves, which stated terrorist threats in Paris. The protagonists of this “vague and confusing” exchange referred to an attack against the Eiffel tower, according to a police source. Very rapidly, the Portuguese authorities alerted their French counterparts, who have been trying to find the source.

This new message did not “cause panic” – as a policeman termed it – within the French counter-espionage unit. It is however added to other threats emitted in these last few days on internet jihaddist sites that call for “brothers to hit Paris”.

The security measures put in place in the capital a few months ago have not been reinforced. “It was not deemed useful to do so, since we have been on a red level of alert for many months”, stated police, “it is the highest level of alert before the scarlet alert, which is put in place when there are [terrorist] attacks.”

Spared of islamist terrorism since the wave of attempts from 1995-1996, France seems to be taken as a target again. On the internet, islamist forums, clandestine or not, proliferate anti-French diatriabes. A message, posted January 3 in Arabic, projected to “end president Sarkozy’s ambitions in the Maghreb countries” and to provoke “a meltdown of the French economy at an international level”.

PRELIMINARY INQUEST

On January 5th, an American center charged with the surveillance of communications of Osama bin Laden’s network found on the internet threats “against Paris and against its mayor Bertrand Delanoe” in order to bring about “Nicolas Sarkozy’s fall”.

Aside from these individuals and the Eiffel tower, the operations that were brought up targeted sites that are “popular and of high economic value”. As in the past, when such threats are detected, the originators talk of the Champs-Elysées, the Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport or the Defense [Department]’s business sector.

These calls, launched on the most part on the salafist site Al-Ekhlass, by someone using the pseudonym of Murabit Muwaded, led to Paris authorities to open a preliminary inquest. The police force and the state department reinforced Mr. Delanoe’s security detail.

These threats are taken seriously. Especially since they follow the execution of 4 French tourists by an Al-Qaida linked salafist group in Mauritania on December 24. This attack, followed by explicit threats against French interests in North Africa, forced the Foreign Affairs Ministry to request (for the first time since its creation 30 years ago) for the cancellation of the Rallye Paris-Dakar, which was to borrow tracks in the Mauritanian desert.

It’s in this context that – according to Le Figaro on January 11 – French police went to many Maghreb countries in order to reestablish anti-terrorist cooperation.

Remember Napoleon? The French can be mean when they want to.

Techie on January 11, 2008 at 10:24 AM

Napolean was Corsican, actually. The French only win when they’re not being led by Frenchmen.

Outre des personnalités et la tour Eiffel, les opérations évoquées viseraient des sites “populaires et à haute valeur économique”. Comme souvent lorsque sont proférées de telles menaces, les auteurs parlent des Champs-Elysées, de l’aéroport Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle ou encore du quartier d’affaires de la Défense.

They’re thinking about hitting the Arc de Triomphe or other sites, too, apparently. This would be much worse; it would at least double the casualties. Good thing Chirac is outta there, he’d probably close his eyes and pretend nothing was happening.
