Our own leadership both current and previous seem to not be making progress despite the huge resources at our disposal.
Honestly to prevent the middle east from becoming such a cluster**** means you'd probably have to travel back in time to before WWI and somehow prevent the collapse of the Ottomans.

More like 118 dead as of now. It took them forever to storm that theater. I don’t understand this mentality. Columbine all over the again.

You're right, they'll probably increase the quota, with the foolish thought that "they're fleeing oppression"

Bunch of sitting ducks.

Death toll up to 158 now: 118 at the Bataclan concert hall, 40 elsewhere.

Another note on Belgium: While the reports that the Belgian borders were shut are false, the country is tightening controls at its borders.

Attacking a hostage situation where there is a potential dozen of assailants armed with rifles cannot be well engaged by patrol men armed with sidearms. Patrolmen need carbines, they dont here in Boston and it looks like they dont have Paris either.

The best protection from this is armed civilians.

Try this in Dallas islamofascists, oh that's right you did, and it didn't turn out well.
Yea, I actually thought that was pretty cool! I'm totally convinced that the Texans were laying in wait for those savages to come.

Thank you for that one.
You think I am kidding? Give it 24 hours. The usual suspect will come out and accuse the rest of us of racism. What do you think George Bush did after 9/11? Went to a DC Mosque, took of his shoes and admonished the nation to be nice to them.

Merkel may want to hasten German's fate by adding more Middle Eastern diversity so as to match Paris' level of high couture (burkas) and high culture: burning cars, riots, hoodlums, jihad attacks from the banlieues.

What utter nonsense are you talking about? This is coordinated attacks throughout Paris, not something in a school done by school kids.



Analogy to Columbine? Ridiculous if ever there was such a thing.
