Although in an ideal world we would have expected a Grand Alliance against the threat of ISIS and international terrorism it was clear that nothing was going to change.
Perhaps the most apt comment is the French expression
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
"The more things change the more they stay the same"

Dear
friends,
While
it is way too early to come to any conclusions about what really
happened in Paris, I want to share the following thought with you:
President Hollande has just declared that what took place was an act
of war. This, in turn, means that the entire NATO alliance could be
called in to respond to this (under Article 5). As for the
attackers, already one Syrian passport was found, and witnesses say
that one of them screamed “for Syria” before opening fire. In
other words, this attack has just given NATO
a pretext to intervene in Syria. Last, but not least, the
only French aircraft carrier was schedule to leave its port this
Wednesday. For the Middle-East, precisely.
Coincidences?
You
tell me.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls: France in War With Terrorists
Prime
Minister Manuel Valls stated Saturday that France is in the state of
war with terrorists.
French
Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Saturday during his interview to TF1
television that France will continue airstrikes in Syria.
Nous sommes en guerre. Nous prenons donc des mesures exceptionnelles. Et cette guerre, nous la gagnerons.
He
also added that France is currently in the state of war with
terrorists and must be ready for new attacks. There is no such a term
as a zero risk in this situation, he stated.
Speaking
about the upcoming regional elections Prime Minister noted that they
will be held according to the schedule, on 6 and 13 of December.
"I
understand that French people can be intimidated but we have to stay
strong and refer to our values," said Valls.
Je comprends que les Français puissent avoir peur, mais nous devons être forts et faire face avec nos valeurs.
There's a military-industrial complex that has to be supported. The faux- "war against Terror" is simply insufficient. The targets will remain the same
