I've heard the police have ID'd the 2 suspects after the 3rd suspect turned himself in (and the police found a suspects ID in a stolen car).

Couldn't the ID be planted by the suspects and be fake AND the suspect who turned himself in be lieing and misleading the police?

Is there a way to verify that eh ID is authentic and the testimony from the third suspect is correct?

This is my thinking. The bad guys delibarately left their ID in the car and robbed that gas station just to lead the police into a confrontation. If they were pros, they wouldn't have that.

That doesn't really make sense. If they wanted confrontation they would not have run and tried to hide. the dropping of the id card was a mistake.

But on some level the terrorists craved attention, they revel in notoriety. They are narcissistic, they want to be famous, they want an identity. If that were not so then the supermarket hostage taker would not have made a video of himself to be discovered later. All of them also called in to radio stations to talk live on air.

What I don't get, though, is why french police claimed that there were three gunmen when only two are visible in the video.

Oh come off it. We all know very well how it was they found the id right away. Otherwise it would seem odd that the authorities could have known almost immediately who did it without -supposedly -knowing who was
going to do it.

Kind of reminds me of something, can't quite put my finger on it..

What would be the purpose of a false flag operation of this nature?

It would gain the terrorists more publicity. But CNN is doing a good job at giving them more as much publicity as they need. I don't know which is worse: al-Jazeera English or CNN.

^ Exactamundo. Now, apply this formula to matters such as immigration, banking, and foreign policy and the world you live in might actually start making sense.

So the Israelis wasted some Jews in a deli ( and some cartoonists ) for the purpose of ...... impressing a continent consistently noted for Anti-Semitism?

The Israelis can get on the scoreboard without any help from the Europeans .... Most adults have already made a decision as to who they believe are the most at fault ( Personally, I blame the British ). But it seems like a guy named "Jihad" might be a good place to start.

Ten characteristics of conspiracy theorists

No.8 Leaping to conclusions. Conspiracy theorists are very keen indeed to declare the "official" account totally discredited without having remotely enough cause so to do. Small inconsistencies in the account of an event, small unanswered questions, small problems in timing of differences in procedure from previous events of the same kind are all more than adequate to declare the "official" account clearly and definitively discredited. It goes without saying that it is not necessary to prove that these inconsistencies are either relevant, or that they even definitely exist.

I admit that my theory of the Paris terrorists planting the ID card in the car was wrong. It seems this ID has led to identifying them which they didn't want to happen. This identifying has led to the poilce raiding that safe house in Belgiam (wasn't it?).

But it did seem sloopy for professional terrorists to miss such an important detail.
