I find it ironic how so many conservatives are rallying around France, yet when France refused to join the Iraq invasion fiasco they were conceived as surrender monkeys and scoffed at as being weak. Now, we must send boots on the ground! Boots on the ground! Which is exactly what ISIS wants.

I mean, it's always been pretty fun to ridicule those ignoramuses (France actually has one of the world's most successful military histories), but them adding a big dose of hypocrisy to the mix just makes it more satisfying.
