ANTALYA, Turkey — French warplanes launched a ferocious retaliatory assault late Sunday on targets in Raqqa, Syria — the Islamic State’s de facto capital — after coordination with U.S. defense officials who helped with the targeting.
The French Defense Ministry said that 10 aircraft dropped 20 bombs on facilities used by the militant group, which has claimed responsibility for Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris, striking a command center, a militant-training facility and an arms depot.
Opposition activists reached in Raqqa said they counted at least 30 bombs, which they said had hit, among other things, a local football stadium, a museum and medical facilities. They said the strikes had knocked out electricity in the city of about 200,000 people.
The French statement said the operation, launched from bases in the United Arab Emirates and Jordan, was conducted in coordination with U.S. forces, which have compiled an extensive target list in Raqqa. American officials, speaking at the G-20 summit here that President Obama is attending, said the French operation was discussed between the two militaries, as well as in telephone calls Saturday and Sunday between Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and his French counterpart.


In Iraq on Sunday, Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jafari said Iraqi intelligence had obtained information before the Paris attacks that the Islamic State was planning an imminent terrorist strike overseas that may have been aimed “in particular” at France, the United States and Iran.
“We notified these countries and warned them,” Jafari said in a statement, which did not include specifics of when the Iraqis acquired the information. U.S. intelligence officials did not confirm the report.
Administration officials said the United States would not alter its strategy against the Islamic State in response to the Paris attacks, despite evidence that the terrorist group was expanding its ability to hit Western targets. In recent weeks, Obama has approved the escalation of airstrikes in Syria and Iraq and has authorized the deployment of 50 Special Operations troops to assist Syrian Kurdish and Arab forces pushing toward Raqqa.

Hollande's vow: France's response to terror attacks will be 'merciless'
Long live the Republic. Long live France.

France more active than rest of the west in tackling Syria



The Isis claim of responsibility for Friday’s Paris attacks referred directly to French aircraft “striking Muslims in the lands of the caliphate”.



Earlier this week, French warplanes attacked oil and gas installations in the Deir ez-Zor area, describing this as part of an effort to destroy Isis infrastructure and undermine its financial resources. President François Hollande also announced the deployment to the Gulf of France’s only aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, to support operations against Isis in Syria and Iraq. French warplanes struck their first targets in Syria in late September.
On 8 October, France attacked an Isis training camp in Raqqa, capital of the group’s self-proclaimed caliphate in north-eastern Syria. It was believed to house foreign fighters, including French nationals, but Hollande denied they were targeting a specific individual.





In all, France has carried out about 1,300 sorties in Iraq, with 271 airstrikes destroying more than 450 terrorist targets. Only a few strikes have been carried out in Syria. It is using six Rafale multi-role fighter jets stationed in the United Arab Emirates and six Mirage 2000 fighters deployed in Jordan.
France was the first country to join the US-led coalition in Iraq and has provided logistical support to anti-Assad Syrian rebels it considers moderate, including Kurdish fighters.
The only aircraft carrier in the French Navy’s fleet, the Charles de Gaulle, will leave for the Persian Gulf on November 18, to join the fight against Islamic State in the region, Paris has confirmed.
“The naval group will leave Toulon (a major French naval base) in a few days, on November 18, to arrive in the Persian Gulf in mid-December,” government spokesman Stephane Le Foll said, as cited by Le Figaro.
France announced the deployment of its only aircraft carrier against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) on November 5. [one week before the Paris terror attacks]
“The deployment of the battle group alongside the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier has been undertaken in order to participate in operations against Daesch [ISIS] and its affiliate groups” the French president’s office said in an issued statement.
“The aircraft carrier will enable us to be more efficient in coordination with our allies” President Francois Hollande said, adding that it will“bolster Paris’ firepower in the region amid international efforts to launch Syrian peace talks.”

The governor of Alabama has said he will resist any attempt to resettle Syrian refugees in his state, Buzzfeed reports.
Governor Robert Bentley said in a statement on Sunday night:

After full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the US refugee admissions program.
As your governor, I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way.








​

President Barack Obama has previously called for the US to resettle at least 10,000 refugees fleeing Syria.
Bentley’s intervention followed a demand this weekend by Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal to the White House to know how many Syrian refugees had been housed in his state, information he said was essential “in hopes that the night of horror in Paris is not duplicated here”.
The state department said the answer was 14.

Toulouse, where raids are being carried out overnight, was the site of a terror attack in 2012, in which Islamic militant Mohamed Merahkilled three Jewish children, a rabbi and three paratroopers.
Merah was killed in a shoot-out with police.




Lest we forget
Four people died: 30-year-old Rabbi Jonathan (Yonatan) Sandler; his two oldest (out of three) children Aryeh, aged 6, and Gabriel, aged 3; and the head teacher's daughter, eight-year-old Miriam Monsonego, the girl shot in the head. Bryan Bijaoui, a 17-year-old Jewish boy, was gravely injured. It was the worst school-related attack in French history.
The bodies of all four dead were flown to Israel on 20 March, accompanied by French foreign minister Alain Juppé. They were buried by family members at the Har HaMenuchot cemetery in Jerusalem. The two deceased children of Sandler were dual French-Israeli citizens, as are Sandler's widow and surviving child.

Five people have been held in Lyon, say French media, as the country's PM says 150 searches are carried out across France.
Among other areas where police are known to have taken action are Toulouse, Grenoble, Jeumont and the Parisian communes of Bobigny and Saint-Denis.
Thirteen of them took place in and around Lyon, according to TV station Bfmtv, where rocket launcher, a flak jacket, pistols and a Kalashnikov assault rifle were found and five people were held.

The terrorists Obama said are contained just said they are going to hit Rome and Washington, DC.

 

[SheriffJoe]

How the hell do you "contain" terrorists anyway?

That quote was just more political bullshit to mask a totally failed foreign policy and presidency.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump Nov 14
President Obama said "ISIL continues to shrink" in an interview just hours before the horrible attack in Paris. He is just so bad! CHANGE.

TRUMP: We need to look at mosques in USA...

Consider shutting them down...

[SheriffJoe]

Hey Donald, I have a better and more fun idea.

Instead of shutting them down or burning them, just release a team of pigs inside each mosque and watch the boy-fucking goat-herders run for their lives screaming!

What do you think?

Obama just finished speaking.

A absolute clown in action

He said ISIS are" killers with fantasy of glory and a good grasp of social media"

He said no change in strategy, the strategy is working.

In contrast to Hollande who said he wants to talk to Obama and Putin to join our forces.

[h=3]Obama speaks out for Syrian refugees[/h]Ruth Sherlock writes that Obama has spoken passionately about the need to support Syrian refugees:
"The people who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism, they are the most vulnerable as a consequence of civil war and strife. They are parents, they are children, they are orphans. It is very important that we do not close out hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorist."
He said the idea of only bringing in Christian refugees is "shameful".
"The values that we are fighting against isil for are precisely that we dont discriminate against people because of their faith. That is what separates us from them. If we want to be successful against Isil that is a good place to start"

"We will pursue airstrikes in the weeks to come. Our enemy in Syria is Daesh (Isil): it's not about containing but destroying this organisation."

He said that he plans to change article 36 of constitution to allow France to take exceptional measures without declaring a state of emergency, and strip people with dual nationality of French citizenship if they commit a terrorist crime and ban them from France.

[h=3]Obama: Isil is the 'face of evil'[/h]Harriet Alexander writes: Remarkable press conference happening in Turkey now.
Obama looks quietly furious at criticism that his inaction has caused this, and the fact that in the US press this morning he is being attacked for not doing enough.

He said: My only interest is to end suffering and keep the American people safe. And if there is a good idea out there then we’ll do it.
I don’t think I’ve shown hesitation to act, whether in killing Bin Laden or sending additional troops to Afghanistan.
But what we do not do is take actions because it will work politically or in the abstract make America look tough, or me look tough.

It could be part of the reason because every few months I go to Walter Reed (military hospital near Washington DC), and I see a 25-year-old kid that has lost both his legs in battle, where I sent him.
Folks want to pop off and have opinions? Present a specific point. If they think their advisers are better than my chiefs of staff or the people I have on the ground, then I want to meet them.
What I am not interested in doing is posing or presenting any idea of American leadership or America winning, and no notion of protecting the American people or protecting our allies like France. I’m too busy for that.

Compare:

Obama: "If you have a handful of people that don't mind dying, they can kill lots of people."

To:

"We will eradicate terrorism," Pres. Francois Hollande vowed Monday: “Terrorism will not destroy France, because we will destroy it.”

What a complete joke Obama is.
