It turns out that the French have been working with Al Qaeda all along, or at least enabling them:
A French intelligence service learned as early as January 2001 that al-Qaida was working on a plot to hijack U.S. airliners, and it passed the information on to the CIA, a news report said Monday.
Of course the French SAY they passed the information on to the CIA. Being unadulterated liars and miscreants, it’s in their best interest to obfuscate this issue. But the underlying point is, the French knew about terror plots 9 months before they happened, yet did nothing to stop them. In my mind, that makes the French government complicit in 9/11. They may or may not have actively worked on the planning with AQ, but the fact that they allowed the attacks to go foreword at all renders them nearly as awful as those 19 hijackers.
If you ask me, Afghanistan needed to get taken out. But when we get a minute, I can think of a certain country in Europe that needs to experience the shock and awe of the consequences of its ingratitude to America, its liberator in more wars than I’d care to count.
Update (by Psycheout): Here’s another take: France Warned Clinton CIA of Al Qaeda Hijack Threat. Hmmm. No wonder we haven’t heard about this until now.

I’m skeptical about this. There are terrorist threats all the time. Why tell us about this now? What does France expect to gain in exchange for this now useless information?
I think France is best seen and not heard. Better yet, they should be ignored.

I see France as an active threat. Our true enemy has finally revealed himself.

“They” informed the CIA, now if the CIA had done it’s job right…
Then again, maybe the information was not specific enough to prevent 9/11, either way blaming France is wrong, they told the CIA what they knew, they did their duty by helping an ally.

As a european, I´d actually not like to see you invading France. Nuclear wars tend to cause a lot of collatteral damage, you know. And I´d like to visit Whashinton before the French´s retaliatory strike turns the city into nuclear flinders.
Oh, and of course there´s something called NATO. Mess with one european country and you mess with them all. Baaaaaad idea!

When the yanks show up invading our European beaches we’ll just let the Germans do what they’re best at!

That´s an ugly thought, Sceptic. 🙂
But for me as a german soldier in reserve, it´s somewhat amusing. Did you know that the good ol´ MG42 (aka Htler´s buzzsaw) is still in service in a modernised version called MG3? I´ve actually shot that bugger and boy, I´d not like to on the receiving end of 1200 rpm of 7.62 NATO goodness.
