Sorry did he say foreigners? What foreigners? Isn't this a revolt of the downtrodden who have been mightily wronged these last 3 decades by French Racism? Thats the narrative that everyone wants to believe, people like, Belgravia Dispatch, Strategy Page, Instapundit
Adloyada and both National and International MSM have been pushing hard to feel their pain.

Occured to me that Osama should have found his hijackers from amongst the poor then we would not have had the stones to call them Radical Islamicists. Cause you know if you are poor you have the right to any action, we will understand while disagreeing with your methods. Not to say that all of the rioters are Islamist (whatever that is supposed to mean) but that believing they are all driven to madness by the conditions has now been discredited by the foreigners being expelled.

So imagine my surprise when I find out that hey wow what do you know we have some foreign instigators. Al Queda? Radical Islamicists? Regular Pissed off Muslims? Who knows but we do know that there are hundreds of them. Imagine that. How did they get so pissed off at French Racism and lack of jobs when they aren't even from France? Anyone? Anyone?
