Yeah the Arabs and Russians would like to blow up NATO and a large percentage of the World would like to blow up EU headquarters. Stock up on chocolate, waffle mix, beer, and ammunition.

Glad to hear from you Denis. Stay safe

I'm seeing stuff like "okay, this is the tipping point," etc.

I'll believe it when I see it. If I had to put a marker down, I'd put it down on turning Paris into a Londonesque Panopticon with CCTV on every corner, more Security Theater, and more therapeutic smoke being blown up all our collective asses.

I wonder if their president will blame a video?

Now it's looking like one of the jihadis came in to Europe through Greece. Time for the Western world to close their borders, for a few decades.
Buy ammunition and magazines.

You'll shoot your eye out!

I'm with the wait and see crowd. My own predictions on political action have been pretty much a bust over the decades. What I've been seeing looks like the Democrats death by a thousand flaming farts. You light one its funny, after a while it get smelly, dangerous, and you wish the people doing it would go away.

Hopey-Dopey issued a statement. No mention of islam. No mention of muslims. Surprise!
I don’t want to speculate at this point in terms of who was responsible for this. It appears that there may still be live activity and dangers that are taking place as we speak. And so until we know from French officials that the situation is under control, and we have for more information about it, I don’t want to speculate.
I'm betting there's good information available at his daily security briefing. Which is why he won't attend. Again.

I'll not link the White House site where his statement is.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D
