<<One would have thought that they would have tried to avoid European targets. Maybe they're just not very bright about Western politics.>>

What are you talking about? It would be THE perfect target. Which European country has 5 million un-assimilated Muslims? Yes, you got that right: France. Where do you think the "Arab Street" is located? Saudi Arabia? They know how to patrol the streets in Saudi Arabia. Nah, the Arab Street you need to worry about is right in the heart of Europe.

I can already see the report "sur la deux": French Army fights Muslims Freedom Fighters in Middle East. Now that is sure not to get a certain minority excited (remember the Paris metro blasts?).

BTW, did you watch the BBC last week-end?

"It is interesting that a French target was picked, whether they meant to or not."

Even if our intelligence services are not flying blind as Stratfor says, why would we alert the French? They want to paddle their own canoe. Let them.
