Unusually tough talk

The implication of this statement seems to be that you think France is somehow 'soft' on terrorists.

I think this is a misconception.

It needs to be pointed out that France was attacked by Islamist terrorists before either the US or Britain - and beefed up its security arrangements accordingly.

And many of us will remember the prompt and courageous action of the French special forces some years ago in dealing with a hijacked aircraft.
 
"Soft" on terrorism is one thing - stating they are ready to go nuclear is something completely different.

As vocal supporters of UN negotiations/inspectors, threatening nukes seems a bit inconsistent.
