Viva Le France!

I think most of the hatred being displayed is because a lot of French really do look down there noses at America. We are the cowboys, the bullies. I dealt with it while I stationed in Europe. I even had a couple of French exchange pilots (Army) tell me about how babaric we Americans are. Well we aren't the boy scouts that's for sure. I bet they loved those babarians on Normandy beach. So you have a nice trip over there to France and while you're at it why don't you stop by one of these tourist attractions.

I have been to Epinal, my grandfather is buried there. You pointing out the thousands of American soldiers that died defending Europe has absolutely no relavence to this issue. That is quite a cheap shot. The petty cultural wrap a flag around your head rivalries are simply fluff that are distractions from the real substance of the consequences of war.

As for the other folks with the "if you don't like it, leave" attitude, you haven't the first clue about the USA.

Just as American as any of you.

To the original poster: it's actually La France...

Viva Zapata-

Doubtful you are a pilot. I think you're just here for flamebait. If that was a sincere post, you are woefully underinformed. France stands to lose billions if hussien is deposed. They care nothing for peace. They are currently fighting in the Ivory Coast. Did you know that? I bet not.


350 Driver-
Do you have enough room for Alec Baldwin Barbara Streisand, Jeanine Garafolo, and Martin Sheen, and enough Jet A to get you to France? Bsuh-bashing is a pursuit for trendy pseudo intellectuals. You've made your fashion statement. More brie, anyone? Non?

Supporters of France are dupes of the first order.


And by the way, eighteen, yes EIGHTEEN (18) European countires support the US position. France, germany and belgium do not. You are in fantastic company.

What about the support we have in several Arab countries? They could stop this cold if they wanted. Do some reading.

Fortunately it isn't really working at all as evident all around this country ......

Right......30% evident

Wow. Attacking your fellow Americans for thinking for themselves and speaking about it. The first poster sounded the most American to me. Let us all think what being American is really about. It seems like a lot of people are forgetting what this country is supposed to be about. Soon everybody will be afraid to say what they think. Sounds like one of those 'bad' countries I learned about in history class when I was a kid.

Everything some people have accused the French Government of doing, the United States Government has been guilty of also. We don't need childish finger pointing.

Can we PLEASE get back to aviation on this "AVIATION BOARD."

[100LL... Again!]

So my right to free speech is less noble than Viva la dufus's?

Mickey - your PC crap won't sell here - typical leftist thinking.

Chirac has been in bed with hussein since the 70's LOOK IT UP.

And look it up in FRANCE. You guys most both fly out of SFO.

French Military Foresight - Unlimited

There was no need to worry about the Nazis. After all, the French had erected the colossal behemoth known as the MAGINOT LINE - Talk about your monuments to the stupidity of mankind.

Chirac has been in bed with hussein since the 70's LOOK IT UP.

Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

France's position is based on nothing but pure financial interests.

Viva and 350

I fully agree with both of you. You should go to France and join the anti American bashing. Dont worry about the door on the way out as I will personally get that for you. Enjoy life there in Frans. I spent several months there and was never so glad to get back to the U.S.
P.S. Forgive me for not getting the door for you when you try to return. Good riddance!

I was with you untill the last part

Instead Reno focused on deporting a six year old Cuban boy back to his prison and jailer Fidel Castro....

While I loathe to give any credit to the worthless prior administration, Reno did need to step in.

You're saying that a woman, who entered the country illegally, kidnapping the son from the father who had custody should be upheld by our laws?

I'll bet if the kid was a Hatian you wouldn't of heard one word from the morons in city government in Miami. Reno got involved because the local government in Miami was openly abusing INS law as well as State and federal statues.

By the way, the father has rights as well. Just because he lives in Cuba does not negate the fact his son was taken here illegally, against his wishes and in contravention to an order of a Cuban court granting custody to the father.

I spent several months there and was never so glad to get back to the U.S.

My first priority every month that I bid is to delete all trips with Paris layovers.

There are tens of thousands of illegal aliens filling up Texas and Florida prisons or on the run... who have commtted violent crimes like rape murder and robbery...

So, they are where they should be. What is your point?

Elian Gonzalez's case did not merit the attention of the Attorney General. The threat to US national security did not exist.

The attorney general had to get involved when the local government and politicians were openly disregarding and flouting Federal and State laws. Not to mention basically they were inciting near riots for what I believe was pure political gain.

Not while Al Qaida and Iraq were building a terrorist network to destroy this country and our economy. MS Reno and the Rapist in Chief were derelict of duty.

No doubt, but still does not change the mandate of the AG. You're trying to argue two points within the same context. They are both separate issues.

Besides... its an unfit father that would take his son away from the Land of the Free to the Home of the SLAVE.

Oh I see. So we as a country should pass judgement on others choices of the way or place they want to live?

Elain wasn't free. He was being used as a tool for the anti castro community. I am not in any way a supporter of Castro, but we have no right to decide when and where laws from other countries should or should not apply. The Elian case was a classic example.

What is some woman took your son to another country based on her opinion of "freedom"?

P.S. The mother sending her kid across 90 miles of open ocean, with no provisions or life jacket, with her criminal boyfriend was fit? Please, spare me.

I know most pilots are right wingers...what I can't figure out is why our industry is fanatically supporting Bush. The Pro-American right vs. Anti-American left argument is horse$#it. There are many high ranking officials in the US military who are questioning Bush's true intentions for launching a war in Iraq. Bush should be focusing on the economy.

I made a loads of money during the Clinton Administration. My airline was looking at two year upgrades and the economy was is great shape. In a matter of less than 2 years my stocks are wiped out (I had conservative stocks) and now my regional is facing the possibility of furloughs. Things are not getting any better with the Bush Administration in power.

Arguing about France is a moot point. The way things are looking, our Anti-French, Pro-War, Furloughed, a$$es will be arguing about this in-between taking orders at the local Burger King Drive Thru!
