  Massive French intelligence failure

BMFTV: According to French officials, gunmen are still at large in Paris attacks. Five suspected attackers have been "neutralized." Watch live on CNNgo.

Massive and that's absolutely MASSIVE intel failure.
There exists a possibility of coordinated attacks --> which points to pt 1. But it is also more sinister. Coord attacks need some kind of signaling and it means the traces and trails weren't picked. [Which further points to the fact that militancy as a living system is possible. Which needs human and digital support. A few locals should have supported and coordinated. Unless the terrorists were pure bred in the ghettos and the rues of France]

One would have assumed that they will have learned from the Hebdo attacks. Its likely that they did but got carried away, though. Difficult to keep at a high state of alert for ever. Nerves fray.

Yes - France is attacking ISIS. They also sent a warship recently?If it were IS, then its likely that these are retribution attacks.

ramana wrote:While at outset looks like Mumbai but has crucial differences.

Similarities:

- Multiple gunmen
- Multiple targets ~six locations
- Over 150 killed majority in one place Concert hall vs CS Station.
- Cafes attacked Cambodian vs Leopold Cafe

Crucial differences

- No suicide bombers in Mumbai
- Attackers trained in Pakistan Army camps
- targets recced by US DEA agent David Headley
- David Headley was chaperoned by Rahul Bhatt
- Attack coordinated from Karachi Pakistan by cell phones.

So State sponsored terrorists attacked Mumbai.
We don't see that in Paris.

arun wrote:Excerpt from an Asia Times Jan 9, 2015 column by David P Goldman aka “Spengler” (?) that was reprinted after the Friday Nov. 13, 2015 Mohammadden Terrorist attack of Paris that killed 150+ people:

“The means by which France, or any other nation, could defeat the terrorists are obvious: to compel the majority of French Muslims to turn against the terrorists, the French authorities would have to make them fear the French state more than they fear the terrorists.

That is a nasty business involving large numbers of deportations, revocation of French citizenship, and other threats that inevitably would affect many individuals with no direct connection to terrorism. In the short term it would lead to more radicalization. The whole project of integration as an antidote to radicalism would go down the drain. The effort would be costly, but ultimately it would succeed: most French Muslims simply want to stay in France and earn a living.

There is no good outcome here, but the worst outcome would be the degeneration of France into a hostage state. We refuse to be hostages.”

This despite news about terrorists blowing up in suicide vests and crowd saying the terrorists shouting AoA while shooting people. Amusingly, similar consideration wasn't given to Russian plane incident despite repeated requests to everyone by russians to not speculate till the investigation is over.

Hollande then visited the Bataclan music hall, where armed assailants stormed the venue and more than 100 people died. His remarks:

“To all those who have seen these awful things, I want to say we are going to lead a war which will be pitiless. 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.”

After the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January, he delivered this statement:

"But even though she is aware that she has faced up to this situation and her security forces are composed of men and women who are capable of bravery and courage, France knows that there will be more threats targeted against her."

vijaykarthik wrote:the same turds speculate about bombs that could have hit a Russian plane even when before the time when there was no confirmed evidence.

Ombaba dripping with hypocrisy here!

All attacks on SDRE sponsored by TSP are dress rehearsals to attack the west.

terror attacks are never confined to one country so that powers be can wink wink nod nod.

All democratic plural libertarian countries are vulnerable and will be attacked if unchecked.

This is moment truly to recall

"all for one, one for al " solidarity

recently A TSP origin litigant won a court case for complete burka in all public life..... against majority peoples opinion....
