"'Among the thousands of Islamic fighters who fled Afghanistan after the U.S.-led war against al-Qaida and the Taliban there, many found refuge in the Persian Gulf and Iraq,' he said."

French intelligence has over the past 18 months monitored "a surge in strength" by terror cells that have no organizational links with al-Qaida but which "exist all over Europe,"

In short, terrorism is a central aspect of Muslim activism throughout Europe.

French Intelligence" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- roflmao... pmp...

That's funny? Did 3000 French citizens get killed in a coordinated terrorist attack on one day?

Is their President a laughing stock and object of scorn and disgust all over the world because they invaded a nation on intelligence about WMD's that was "mistaken" at best?

Do French intel agencies point fingers at each other and "leak" stories against each other to cover their beaucratic behinds?

Since 9/11 and the "mistaken" WMD intel- not one resignation in any American intel agency or for that matter any Federal beaucracy whatsoever.

I wouldn't be laughing at French intelligence. I would be crying over American.
