Those are probably their SWAT/Quick Reaction guys....
I think it was last year's toy drop jump that had a bunch of fit and rough looking paratroopers from around the world- German and Polish on my plane. Who did we have working with them as jumpmasters? The most annoying and fat little female Psyoppers we could find.

i think when our enemies see who we have defending our nation it might actually inspire them...

On another note- I wonder if the "micro-agressed" don't feel as if their complaints are a little less important today. Bet not.

The French have been dealing with this issue for a number of years now. It has finally reached a tipping point and how they deal with it will say a lot about their character and their resolve. I am with those who predict a similar event taking place in our country, this is a wake up call for the world.

This WILL happen here! The genie is out of the bottle. The best (strike that, THE ONLY) solution is to not allow ourselves to be disarmed!

Students are complaining that the media is using the Paris attacks to sweep their plight under the rug...

This is a game-changer. The reality that this is a war unlike any we have ever known is beginning to sink in. It is not about politics, economics, nationalism or any of the things that have constituted a basis for war in our life times.

It is very, very simple; it is binary; it is ideological; it is good vs evil. No middle ground! I for one stand with President Hollande in absolute solidarity - it is time for a pitiless war against Islam until such time that Islam capitulates, unconditionally surrenders, reforms itself or is wiped from existence.

This is a game changer for sure and this will not end until one side prevails.

France is a nuclear power.
They have made statements in the past about their use against terrorist.

Not to worry.....Why just yesterday before this attack, Barry made a statement on TV that ISIS was shrinking...What a F****n moron.

He also said we all share the same world morals. Since when is cutting off the head of your daughter as an honor killing because she converted to Christianity a shared moral with any western culture

So far ISIS has brought down a Russian civilian jet and now executed hundreds of innocent civilians in Paris just this past week. Pretty soon they aren't going to have any friends in this world.

Time to be vigilant because it's coming to a town near you....

I hate to be the one to say it, and it's been said on these boards in the years past, it's only these attacks that cause U.S. and the west to act. Given a bit of time the tune will change back and the cycle repeats. In watching SecState Kerry right now talk about how we must do something in Syria?! Holy Fucking Shit!!! Who has the over under on how long the coalition to fight these groups stays together? Or how long before an intifada in Israel has them talking about failed policy?

Looks like the explosives and grenades used in the Paris attacks may have been obtained in July of this year.

I agree, this will happen here soon I'm sure and our "TRILLION" dollar intel agencies will not have a clue until they strike.

I hope all the sheeple enjoy the brief calm. Stay out of gun free zones. Arm yourselves, we are at war with islam.

Americans open their homes to stranded French travelers

Our fellow Americans have big hearts and are stepping up to help those stuck in the U.S. due to cancelled flights to Paris.

(CNN)Hundreds of Americans are offering their homes to French travelers who are stuck in the United States.

In the aftermath of the Paris attacks Friday, airports in France remained open, though some airlines reported canceled flights.

Americans have turned to social media, using the hashtag #StrandedinUS to open their homes to people who are having trouble getting home to France.

From Los Angeles to Hawaii to New York, Americans are flooding the Twitter feed offering a place to stay, transportation and food.

Info trickling out...

Paris attacks: 'Three teams' involved - prosecutor Molins
BBC
28 minutes ago
Europe

Three teams of attackers were involved in the Paris attack in which 129 people were killed and more than 350 wounded, France's chief prosecutor says.

Speaking in Paris on Saturday evening, Mr Molins told reporters: "We can say at this stage of the investigation there were probably three co-ordinated teams of terrorists behind this barbaric act."

He also confirmed that one of the dead attackers had been identified as a 30-year-old Frenchman who had a criminal record but had never spent time in jail.

The man came from the town of Courcouronnes, 25km (15 miles) west of Paris. He had been identified by the security services as having been radicalised but had never been implicated in a counter-terrorism investigation.

Mr Molins said all seven militants had used Kalashnikov assault rifles and the same type of explosive vests.
