duuuude.... that's serious.

but better than "fighting them over there" i guess...

Makes you wonder if "fighting them here", where we have more control of the environment, might be better.

I remember this incident. French intelligence had human elements inside this terror group, and knew they had plans to turn a plane into a flying bomb by refuelling in Marseille and then crashing it into the Eiffel Tower or the Montparnasse Tower, also in Paris. This is why the decision was made to storm the plane, rather than try to negotiate further.

It makes you wonder if a US intelligence community which hadn't abandoned human intelligence after the cold war in favour of technological gadgets would have been more alert to the possibility of an attack such as 911.

upvote for the dude that nearly falls on his head when they enter.
(insert french gign joke here).
