Greasy Rider @ invalid.com wrote in message news On Mon, 31 May 2004 15:18:41 -0400, "HECTOP" etched the phosphur particles on my screen with the following: 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. 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. George Z. |

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.

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. tim gueguen 101867 |

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].

That's funny, the French shoot at somebody. Hmmmm, let's see.Guns, where
are the guns? "HECTOP" wrote in message . .. 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 |
