There are other ways to fight effectively the terrorists. France prove it before the 11th september 2002 and tried to warn USA of the threat before, and help USA after.
But for some here, all that count is GI Joe. on the field (even the wrong one!).

Others know better.

PS : 1/3 of american citizens don't remember the year of the WTC attack... Wonders wonders.
What year? 2002 is a wee bit late to do any warning.

Well, with the latest happenings as well as the sudden entry of the Pope, things might get a little hot, - also for the French.



11 sep 2001, what a day. I remember exactly what I was doing...

Isn't this sort of like a white supremicist prison gang joining the KKK against non-white people?  Seriously, Al-Qaida is against pretty much anything remotely related to western civilization, and France arguably *defines* western civilization to a great percentage of the world, so... duh of course Al-Qaida is against France.

Tsss Tsss, Ouaibe...

If France warned the US of the 9/11/2001 attacks sometime in 2002, that would seem just about right...:rolleyes:

"1/3 of american citizens don't remember the year of the WTC attack"...make that 1/3, plus 1 Frenchman.  France had better tend her own gardens these days, as radical, murderous extremist Muslims seem to be falling out of the woodwork and into the streets with regularity.

Let's hope France never has to suffer with what happened here....

Angus...I, too, remember what I was doing then.  Watching it with my own two eyes...

15% of Americans are under 9 years old. so they were either under 4 years of age, or not born when the WTC happened.  

And of those who don't remember the year, how many you think don't remember the event?

I remember the deaths Libya caused to our people, and France refusing our aircraft overflight permission to respond.  Our strong response humbled Gaddaffi  and brought him into line.

Ooops, funny keyboard mistake ;) I shoot my own foot.

And for the record, the DGSE (french CIA) warned the CIA of a soon to be made action on the USA soil.
But you know the story right ?

Actually, yes, I do.  And France was not the only one...and we were not ignorant of the same rumblings, either.

However, warnings of attack, sedition, spying, etc... has been information shared among allies since the dawn of time.

Historically, it was hard for anyone (France would have been no different) to truly understand the scope of possibility...to even believe that such an extreme thing could be contemplated, let alone accomplished.  

It's easy to say the US Govt was lazy, inattentive, whatever...but who truly could have believed such a thing?  And how does one effectively respond to warnings of 'something significant' in the 'near future', anyway?  It sounds good to say 'you were warned', but these warnings were entirely impractical and nearly impossible to respond to.

Yup, they sucker punched us, and thousands of us died so a pack of butchers and animals scratching sand out of their shorts can chest-thump and tell each other they 'won a victory' over the Great Satan.

Others have made that mistake...

(PS..To be fair, I assumed it was a typo, but don't think I won't defend my country and countrymen just as you would yours.)

There is turmoil in France right now over the Al Queida threat, they can't agree on whether to capitulate or collabarate.   :rofl

Stick to this though, my dear Americans.
France declared war on Germany in WW2. Ok, they got beaten, but at least they had the balls for it.
The US didn't recognize Hitler's threat in the same way as the French and English.

But times change.

Yes. They stepped up with the Brits and got stomped while the Brits survived.
The Americans sat by, somewhat understandably because of the losses of WW1, but also because they hadn't quite made up their mind about the whole business.
Which is a little parallel to the French today.

The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn from history ;)
