Video: Soccer Fans Sing French Anthem as They Leave Stadium
2015-11-15
[PJ Media] It has become familiar to us in the Age of Terror to see the worst of what humanity is capable of doing bringing out the best in us. Think of that incredible moment in the early evening of 9/11 when about 150 congressmen stood on the capitol steps, holding hands, embracing. And then, at the conclusion of Speaker Dennis Hastert's brief but eloquent remarks, a completely unscripted moment occurred when members broke into a heartfelt rendition of "God Bless America." I was watching NBC News at the time and reporter Judy Woodruff broke down in tears describing it.

One of the targets of the attack in Paris was a soccer stadium where a match between France and Germany was going on. Following the game, fans were delayed in exiting by authorities who sent them back inside where they milled around on the field.

Finally, the police allowed the stadium to clear. And as the fans marched out, many of them began to sing the French national anthem, La Marseillaise.

#8  Good.

Espec iff the Frenchies don't wish to see their Nation or the EU fall to Radical Islam's Jihad, or at least preempt or avoid Tom Cruise's + Emily Blunt's 1960's-1970's = 2014 "EDGE OF TOMORROW" failed = catastrophic beach invasion.

* FYI FREEREPUBLIC > [Daily Mail] OBAMA MEANT TO SAY THAT ISIS HAD ONLY BEEN CONTAINED GEOGRAPHICALLY, SAYS HIS ADVISER [Ben Rhodes].

Like 1940 Nazi Armor at the Maginot Line, Belgium, + Dunkirk = Fall of France.

* CNN AM > POPE FRANCIS = LABELS PARIS ATTACKS ARE PART OF A "PIECEMEAL THIRD WORLD WAR " = "CREEPING/LOW-INTENSITY WORLD WAR".

But a "World War" nonetheless, just as Global Jihad is a Global Jihad.

#7  Sarkozy crawled out of his grave recently "We need everyone in order to exterminate Daech, including the Russians. There cannot be two coalitions in Syria," Sarkozy, told journalists after meeting President Francois Hollande.

#5  WSC learned from his mistakes and kept practicing.
When the time came in WW One the RN was at full strength and on battle stations, on assuming power in WW II he offered France everything but the last 5 fighter Wings.

If that drunken SOB crawled out of his grave I can can tell you his plan.

Form a national government
Parly boo with France.
Parly voo with Putin
Wait until November 2017.
Discuss targets and who shoots first.

#4  I learned a lot from reading Winston Churchill's books. Like any of us, he had his foibles, he was full of himself, and he made mistakes, but he had the basics right. All throughout his life.
