BIEN FAIT POUR LEUR GUEULE!

My wife is French. When she saw that the journalists had been kidnapped, she exclaimed "c'est bien fait pour leur gueule", which translates roughly, but without the profanity, as "serves them right".

She was not referring to the journalists, but to the French governments policy towards Arab countries. Look where it has gotten them.
