War on France

The French suffered two attacks this weekend. Both attacks were part of the war against radical Islamists that France has so far failed to acknowledge is under way.

In one attack, a small ship laden with explosives was set off next to a French oil tanker in Yemen. Nobody will admit that it's exactly like the USS Cole bombing. Yemeni officials denied everything. This however does not give us any new information. The French were hesitant to give a final statement that yes, of course, ships do not suddenly develop huge gaping flaming holes in their side, unless explosives are floated up to them and detonated.

In another, the mayor of Paris was stabbed by a man who told officials that he was a devout Muslim and acted out of opposition to politicians and gays. The first news report I saw on this came from a national news report. They called it "homophobia related" and did not mention that the man was a Muslim.

Why France?
