France pledges to shoot down private pilots in D-Day air space
May 31, 2004
BY BEN FENTON [Ad]

ARROMANCHES, France -- Private pilots who stray into Normandy air space
during the 60th anniversary of D-Day next weekend will be shot down, French
officials said Sunday.


Finally, something the French can handle....unarmed private pilots.


Cheap shot. The French are trying to protect the thousands of American visitors
they expect for the DDay celebrations from attack from the air by loony Muslims
who have already demonstrated on 9-11 their capability of performing such
outrages.

Knocking their efforts only makes us look stupid.

And another thing the French managed to do recently is avoid helping
to create another terrorist state in the Middle East.

The reference is obviously to Iraq, where many people expect that, since the
Shiite faction comprise a majority of Iraqis, a fundamentalist Islamic nation
will eventually evolve from our ill-considered efforts to create a democratic
form of government in the Middle East.

I'll have to do some checking. Would this be the first time the French
have managed to shoot down any plane, anywhere? :-)

An odd thing for someone with a last name like Gaquin to be saying.

The French would obviously have much preferred to keep on doing
lucrative business deals [1] with the, shall we say, "pre-terrorist"
state that Iraq was prior to our "ill-considered efforts" [2].

[1] Lucrative for French businesses and French politicians, as I think
we now are aware.

[2] "Ill-planned" or "ill-implemented" or "ill-carried-through" efforts
might be a more accurate description).

France pledges to shoot down private pilots in D-Day air space
May 31, 2004
BY BEN FENTON [Ad]

ARROMANCHES, France -- Private pilots who stray into Normandy air space
during the 60th anniversary of D-Day next weekend will be shot down,

French
officials said Sunday.
With at least 16 heads of state, including President Bush, attending the
ceremonies, organizers are guarding particularly against an al-Qaida

attack
from the air.
It is one of the biggest security exercises in Europe since the war.
An enormous network of radar equipment has been stretched between

Deauville
and Cherbourg, with early warning aircraft already in the skies.
The aircraft will be joined this week by small, remote-controlled drones.
Advanced Crotale anti-aircraft missiles have been primed, and two

squadrons
of Mirage 2000 fighters are stationed nearby.
The French ministry of defense has spared no expense. It has established a
temporary air base at Carpiquet, outside the city of Caen, as the hub of

its
defenses.
There, more than 800 soldiers will maintain round-the-clock surveillance,
backed by more than 50 military helicopters.
A spokesman for the 120-acre camp said: "The dangers are multiple, from a
hijacked airliner being crashed into the stands at the main international
ceremony at Arromanches to a tiny bomb being detonated remotely.
"But we are stretching an impenetrable fabric of protection above

Normandy."
At sea, fishermen and pleasure craft have been banned from the Seine Bay
that stretches along the beaches code named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and
Sword on June 6, 1944.
A French carrier, Charles de Gaulle, and an American carrier, George
Washington, will be patrolling the bay, which will also be swept for

mines.
On land, more than 9,000 French troops are arriving this week,

supplementing
the 6,300 gendarmes and 2,300 police officers already on duty.
Arromanches' 534 residents have been told that they must either stay

indoors
throughout next Sunday or leave the area.
