Some French Really Are The Enemy
This Newsmax blurb makes for very interesting reading:
U.S. forces are holding three French nationals who were captured in Iraq fighting alongside insurgents loyal to terrorist kingpin Abu Musab al Zarqawi - a development that could complicate attempts to thaw relations between France and America.
"I can confirm that we are aware of the existence of these three people of French nationality who are being held in Iraq," French Foreign Ministry spokesman Herve Ladsous told a press conference in Paris last week, in comments first reported by Reuters.
The French fighters were detained by a U.S. patrol during fighting in the city of Fallujah last November, Ladsous explained.
Iraq's human rights minister, Bakhtiar Amin, confirmed the detentions during an interview last week on France's Europe One Radio.
"Two of them have admitted they came to make jihad against the Americans. ... They will be tried in Iraq," Amin said. "They are criminals and we are here to see justice is done."
The Iraqi official said also that he believed there were up to a dozen French citizens fighting U.S. forces in his country.
U.S. military sources in Iraq told Reuters that the three French fighters are currently being detained at Iraq's Camp Bucca.
A Paris-based Islamic network is suspected of having recruited them to fight in Iraq.
This is a fascinating complication for a number of reasons. One is the disinclination of the French government to get control over its rebellious (and growing) Muslim population, at least the extent of disrupting jihadi networks and preventing French nationals from ending up in combat against Coalition forces. The other is what response Black Jacques Chirac will come up with via-a-vie the disposition of these three Islamofrogs. Does he want to "thaw" relations with the Bush Administration? Has the murder of Theo Van Gogh in neighboring Holland last year opened any Euro eyes to the Islamic influx that is threatening to overrun the Continent over the next few decades and transform it into a de facto caliphate?
The time to get a handle on this troublesome trend would seem to be now, while there's still time. But then that is a, well, American perspective. Europe is so far down the perditious road of left-wing/multicultural brain rot that its leaders will most likely commit cultural suicide rather than concede that George Bush could be right about anything.
These three detainees have been under lock and key for several months, so perhaps Chirac is trying to let this incident blow over. But something tells me this isn't the extent of the French contribution to the Islazi "insurgency," or the last such prisoners that will be taken.
