These Jihadis are about a bright as Momma Moonbat. Source WND. I'm assuming this is not a hoax.

French hostage 'shown in video'

A militant group in Iraq has threatened to kill a French water engineer seized three weeks ago, unless France ends its "illegitimate presence" in the country.
A video apparently showing hostage Bernard Planche held at gunpoint was broadcast by Arab channel Al-Arabiya.

The channel said the previously unknown group had demanded French troops leave Iraq. France has no forces in the country and opposed the US-led war.

Why did they take a hostage? If they have no presence in Iraq, France could report that it preemptively decided to surrender before committing troops, so as not to offend anyone.

Look on the bright side. At least they aren't holding and threatening to kill another GI Joe doll Rolling Eyes Wink

Seriously, I hope he gets released soon. I guess this shows that even the jihadi's have their morons.
