NBC Terror Expert on Paris: This Seems To Be Ratcheting It Down, Not Ratcheting It Up
RealClearPolitics ^ | January 1, 2014 | RealClearPolitics

On MSNBC this afternoon, NBC terrorism expert Evan Kohlmann said the terror attack in Paris today seems to signal terror organizations are "ratcheting it up" and not "ratcheting it down."

Kohlmann was very doubtful that these terrorists who had an elaborate escape plan are connected to any major terror group like al Qaeda and ISIS.

"It is not clear these individuals are operating under orders or guidance or instructions from anyone, other than what's in their own heads," Kohlmann surmised.

Later in the segment, Coleman lamented France has a "historical problem with Islamophobia."

Be my guess, these three will be killed by their
handlers before the day is out to break the trail.

I am sure that it is very comforting to the shades of the DEAD and the wounded that these attackers, shouting “Allah Akabar”, were not part of a LARGE Islamic hate group!

The difference is what?

That’s right - all these killings are done by isolated mussies with no connection to any larger group. Got it.

Dumbassery on parade

All jihadists are inspired by one source. It's been that way since 700 AD

I wonder what that source could be?

you do know the frence saved Europe from being conquered by islam?

The battle of tours was a last stand battle against the umyad invasion of the gaul and charles the hammer Martel outmaned with a inferior army crushed the ummyad caliphate army on a ratio 10-1

IF battle of tours had gone the other way, Europe would have been conquered by the muslims and usa would most likely be islamic as well

“France has a historical problem with being populated with girly men!”

The same could be said of NBC.

These Quisling fools just don’t get it do they? If the terrorists operated under some central command, we could attack it and destroy it. But, they operate under general orders to just commit mayhem and kill. The fact that they do operate as “Lone Wolf” attackers is proof that the entire “religion” is an enemy of good people everywhere.

Maybe. What's the difference? Frankly, I'd find that to be a much worse possibility. Decentralized groups are MUCH harder to crack.

Well, go out and buy a clue! Small, autonomous cells, guided through internet web sites, are HIGHLY effective and extremely difficult to eradicate! We will see an increase in such "random attacks" for years to come!
