O/T French finally sending troops to Iraq!

[Phil Orenstein]

Evidently a very huge stash of exotic truffles was just found buried beneath one of Saddam's former palaces.

 

On the topic of fun before the weekend!

They better have enough wine and cheese for the French Elite Fighting Forces >>> or, they'll bail out in no time flat.

[Phil Orenstein]

Also they had to ban fireworks at Euro Disney World. Evidently the French Air Force seemed to be running for cover and taking a lot of hits on recent flyovers.

I was just reading about you. I used to live in Woodhaven, went to Queensborough, and recently installed a cnc router provided training and wrote their post at POP displays.

Small world it is. What happened to their Phoenix 9x5 table cnc routers in their wood shop? I used to program them when Victor Coty was sick. Are you working for POP now?

 

Phil

[George_Gerhard]

The Phoenix was taken out of service, as for me I am an engineer for Alltech machinery we are a dealer of cnc routers in the northeast and a mastercam router reseller.

 

BTW did you work at POP when Arthur Seder was there?

Thought this was a "French" topic thread!!

 

See that proves it, "the Frenchies get no respect."

 

Kidding... Have a good weekend guys.

 

Our large world made smaller thru the internet!! The French invented the internet, you know. They teamed up with Al Gore.

Who's side are they going to be on?

[Phil Orenstein]

Yes I was there way back when Arthur was working there. I think he's over at Display Systems now in Bklyn.

 

Now back to the French. I will say something to their credit though. You can get a really great buy on French rifles. Evidently they've never been used, and only dropped once!

I can never get enough of the French, NOT!

 

I was fortunate to be serving in the US Army in 1967. I was stationed in Germany with an engineer batallion. The French "asked" NATO to please leave. Unfortunatly for me I was TDY'd for 6 weeks to help move stuff out of the Nancy area. The total time there completly sucked,I was never treated so badly in my life. Well, that is not exactly true. When I got to San Francisco in 1969 on my return from VietNam, those xxxx made me feel quite unwelcome too.

 

Anyway, I have hated the French and all things French ever since.

jenks,

 

It's too bad that you received better treatment in France than you did in our own country. If it means anything to you, I support all US troops and the work they do. God bless you and your family.

The French have never forgiven us for liberating

them from th Nazis.

[Phil Orenstein]

Jenks,

 

It the soldiers, those brave men and women who give their lives so that we can live in freedom and prosperity in this great country. You deserve all our gratitude.

 

Meanwhile, back to the French. In light of the terrorist bombing in Madrid, Paris is raising it's terror alert level from 'hide' to 'run'. In addition the recent failed bombing attempt of the french rail system almost caused the level to be raised from 'surrender' to 'collaborate'. (I don't find it funny - it's sad and shameful.)

Today the Spainish learned the cost of appeasement. After the Madrid bombingss they threw

out their tough on terrorist government.

The new government promised to pull out of Iraq on June 30. Early this week they found

a misfired bomb under the tracks of a high speed rail line. Today they recieved a comminique from

the terrorist. June 30 is not good enough. They now have 1 week.
