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. 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). mean like Cheney giving Billions of dollars of business to his chums at Halliburton, whets the difference apart from Cheney is ripping off the US tax payer. |

The French "invented" air to air kills with the shoot down of a german on
the 8. october 1914 The french pilot was Sergant Frantz. So... No it it would not be the first kill.... Second perhaps ? :-) "John Gaquin" skrev i melding ...

A bit on the side but a small reflection:
Is not France a member of the International Crime Court ? Do they not have an obligation to arrest suspected warcriminals like Bush and Blair ? So should they not simply stay at home to avoid a moral problem of NOT arresting them? They should after all be arrested... but in the real world this would start WWIII... ? G "HECTOP" skrev i melding . .. I know this is gonna start a riot, but... http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-dday31.html 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. Daily Telegraph HECTOP PP-ASEL-IA http://www.maxho.com maxho_at_maxho.com |

On ne dit pas "con vous êtes", mais, "vous êtes con". Il est vrai qu'en toute matière, la subtilité fait défaut à l'anglo-saxon. C'est curieux, je pensais les slaves plus futés.

[1] Lucrative for French businesses and French politicians, as I think we now are aware. "No more persuasive is the widely voiced (in the U.S.) argument that the French were defending wide-reaching and profitable commercial relationships with Saddam's regime. The truth is that France enjoyed minor economic ties with Saddam. Under the United Nations' now-defunct Oil for Food program with Saddam's Iraq, the French were only the 13th-largest participant. The U.S. under that program bought more than 50 percent of Iraq's total oil exports, the French 8 percent."

"France was the only country, other than the United States, to conduct air strikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan, with their Mirage jets and Super Etenard fighters hitting more than 30 targets during Operation Anaconda in March 2002. The French enthusiastically backed the Afghanistan war, breaking with Washington only on the Iraq question."
