Hollande: 'We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless'
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/13/15 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 11/13/2015 7:52:05 PM PST by markomalley

French President Francois Hollande promised early Saturday morning that France would respond to terrorist attacks that killed more than 120 people with a "pitiless" war against the group responsible.

"We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless," he said at the Bataclan, the site of one of the attacks, according to the Guardian.

"Because when terrorists are capable of committing such atrocities, they must be certain that they are facing a determined France, a united France, a France that is together and does not let itself be moved, even if today we express infinite sorrow," Hollande added.

Hollande's remarks came after what appears to be the biggest terrorist attack ever on French soil, and some emerging signs that the Islamic State is responsible.

They also may pose a challenge to the Obama administration, which has faced increasing criticism about whether its plan to "degrade and ultimately destroy" ISIS is working fast enough. Secretary of State John Kerry was in Vienna Friday for more talks about how to handle the Syrian civil war, which has been credited with creating the conditions for the Islamic State to thrive there.

"These are heinous, evil, vile acts," Kerry said in response to the attacks. "Those of us who can must do everything in our power to fight back against what can only be considered an assault on our common humanity."

Precisely...and he won’t be doing that. As a matter of fact, their votes are important to his base.

Convert to what? A hedonist? That is part of the problem...Roman Catholic France vanished two generations ago.

Kerry should have been hung for treason forty years ago.

France is the European country most apt to do what needs to be done i.e. expel all its Moslems.

How so? Evidence? Argument?

That seems to contradict everything we have come to despise about France...

Right, it does.

...but I believe it is true.

Why? Do you merely have a "hunch," or can you in any way substantiate what you've just written?

Regards,

The French once had a reputation for being ruthless and determined militarily. May they regain that reputation.

I’m with you on this, Jarhead. [The enemy of France is the Muslim 10% of France. It is time for the 90% to turn on the Mohammedans with a ruthless vengeance.]

These Muslim terrorists I think can only be reached one way. For example, in Paris there were those terrorists who blew themselves up. I think that a video should be made showing their salvageable parts being fed to feral pigs. If the attacks continue, I would then show terrorist cadavers of Muslims being fed to pigs. Still if it continued, I would show videos of live Muslim terrorists fed to pigs.
With all this closeness with pigs, upon assuming room temperature (or pig anal temperature) would they still receive their 72 virgin sheep or goats?

Can you say Presidente LePen? I knew that you could .

What you've said is similar to what I said at work. Folks were watching on the tube, and I stated what they were seeing was Marine LePen winning her election...

"A lot of hot air, I'll believe it when I see it."

Yep.

I predict about five days of harsh words, PERHAPS a few bombs dropped on mostly empty desert, then everyone goes back to their tacit dhimmitude. Not just France, but the whole western world.

“Don’t underestimate the European capacity to engage in genocide”

I agree.

One would think that people would remember the Holocaust and it happened because at some point the Europeans thought (mainly the Germans) it would be a great idea to systematically murder the Jews and look at how methodically it was carried out. It’s not like it was done on a spur of the moment act of rage. It was so carefully mapped out and I do think the scum are going to end up suffering painfully.

I don’t believe Hollande is the type that is a firebrand, but not every firebrand is as crazed as a cool, collected, methodical type when inspired to genocidal mania.

Dear Francois,, our Muslim president armed AlQaida to start Arab Spring, that just hit your city.

He says you can kiss his Islamic Indonesian ass.

Agreed. For the sake of humanity, Islam needs to be set on fire, all of it burned to the ground.

Francois will probably have his head cut off by a Muslim whom he refused to deport.

Husseins Obamas Arab Spring smells like shit in France.

Until we see them loading box cars with all muslims and maybe all arabs sending them back to wherever they came from or just drop them off in Africa for all I care; I won’t believe a word he says. There is no other way to deal with this there and here.

All muslims must leave now. If someone who appears to be muslim can prove they are not muslim we can make exceptions.

Only by using drastic measures like this can this problem be solved internally. Then we still have to deal with the muslims wherever they live.

All mosques must be shut down and probably destroyed. It’s the only way.

Unless he means shutting down the border to all Muslim immigration, and deporting the ones already there (yes, even babies),

Yep, its time to get medieval with this evil religion.

There is one thing that stands against your proposal:

The First Amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ...

It leaves no apparent way to discriminate against Muslims. But, somehow, we're going to have to figure out a way around it. Or, put another way, figure out a way to discriminate against Islamic terrorists...
