Poll: French want war with ISIS
Yeah, I know, it shocks. According to Reuters, the French Sunday newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche reports that more than half of the French polled support the war against the Islamic State;
The survey showed 59 percent of the 952 people interviewed supported international intervention, whilst 53 percent were in favor of French military involvement.
French jets struck a suspected Islamic State target in Iraq for the first time on Friday, expanding a U.S.-led military campaign against militants who have seized a third of the country and also control large parts of neighboring Syria.
Two French Rafale fighters carried out a further mission early on Saturday, looking out for possible targets in the northwest Baghdad region, although no strikes were made, the Defense Ministry said.
So, our President is going to the UN to ask for more support according to ABC News;
President Obama will appear in front of the United Nations General Assembly this week as he attempts to strengthen his case for international action against ISIS. Power told Stephanopoulos she believes the U.S. has the legal basis it needs to go forward with action against ISIS without a U.N resolution – one that Russia could potentially veto.
Yeah, well, if the French want war, the UN should be no problem, they’ll also be no help – the UN thinks it’s job is done once they vote. Same with the French.

But Ban Ki Moonbat is outraged. That should account for something. Between he and the French being outraged the ISIS folks must be quaking in their man dresses.
That’s binki-moon! Spelling!
The only way to get the UN to really knuckle down against a country is to:
1. Directly threaten the illegally produced money stream that dump into the personal pockets of the UN’s movers and shakers ala The Oil For Food Scam in Iraq.
2. Demonstrate that there is a solid potential for trafficing in sex slaves, ala Haiti, much of Africa.
3. Name your country Israel.
Lex crapeaux veulent lutter contre ISIL? Sacre coeur! Quel fromage! Quel vin! Quel poisson! Quel merde!
Oooo-la-la-la-la! Maintenant, je comprend tout!
I wonder what Isis is going to name France after they win.
When do we see photos of Frenchmen crying in the streets of Paris?
Fran
Sacrebleu!!!
Stupid phone…
France has an excellent military tradition. They got dropped quick in WW2 as a state but the French fought hard. Plus, they saved our fledgling nation in the revolution. I don’t get the hate on France.
10thMountainMan….I think what you are reading here is not about the French Resistance of WWII or the Revolutionary War. It is about French policies towards the U.S. especially through the UN and NATO in post WWII and the cold war. Then they seemed quick to forget the Americans who liberated their country in two world wars and financially rebuilt them. Just some left over resentments there. If they are truly onboard to all out fight and destroy ISIS with us, then welcome and bring your guns.
“…Welcome and bring your guns.”
Try not to drop them this time.
The Other Whitey…Coffee in my nose…thank you I needed that this morning! Yea I’m all for the French helping, just bring your weapons only please. They’re the only military with an MRE that says, “White Cream Saute’ Sauce”. But then again they haven’t committed troops yet, just airstrikes, so we’ll see how far they’re willing to go in this “fight” they want.
France also threw the muslims out of Europe. See Charlemagne and Roland.
Now they contend with Muslims from their former colonies that demand their own laws in the form of Sharia. Remember the street riots a couple of years ago?
Could it be that the Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys have finally developed a collective set of balls? Are they finally fed up with the slow invasion of sharia in their immigrant communities? Are they finally going to change their status as the only supposedly-First-World country to have lost wars with both Algeria and Mexico?
“Could it be that the Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys have finally developed a collective set of balls?”
As long as it’s someone else’s balls and not theirs.
I see heavy usage of the Foreign Legion if they do.
I thought that it was pretty funny that 6% of the people polled wanted war with ISIS, but not with French troops.
What do you expect Jonn? The French can’t even win a war against themselves…
The first French Bakery becomes a casualty will change their minds, hear me now and believe me later.
The French liberal intellectual (self-presumed) crowd is not all that different than our so called liberal elite….
I like to poke fun at the French because they often have that arrogance that is so undeserved, but in my personal experience the regular French folks I’ve met seem to be like regular folks here. They don’t want to put up with external threats and they want those threats extinguished so they can live their lives comfortably with all that really great bread, cheese, wine, and truffles…the lucky bastards.
We’ll see which France shows up, the fighting French or the fleeing French. I hope we see the former for a change.
I swear I saw this on eBay once:
“For sale … French infantry rifle. Only dropped once in surrender.”
With the world (well, the non-Muslim world, anyway) drwoning in political correctness, I’m begging you not to take away Froggie jokes. Gosh.
Funny. The majority of Frenchies want war with IS. But notice the 6 point drop when asked about direct French involvement? Seems like a lot of those folks want to see blood, but don’t want to be the ones to draw it.
They should start in their own borders frankly.
Isn’t that the French Battle flag up top, yeah, a white cross on a white background!!
