Relevance to anything? A 'witty' observation or more racism?

But since you mentioned it...

Who said they were?

Chirac's adminstration are another bunch of arms-dealing money-grabbing backstabbing double-dealing tossers, just like Bush's.

I would say like Blair's too, but at least the UK's governments have had the sense to sell small arms and cattle prods, rather than anthrax and nuke components, and have actually fired the people who have tried to breach these rules, instead of enshrining them in successive administrations.



On a lighter note, the article can't have been comparing them to US commandos cos they managed to get out without shooting any of their own men! :p or anybody for that matter... Job done. Maybe we should hire these guys to take Hussein out?:p

Yeah, what is the relevance to that story AND what does that have to do with kung fu?

Most people wank when such scenes are story lines in Hollywood films.

on a side note, something struck me...Fresne is NOT near Disneyland Paris, it is NOT in the east of Paris (rather in the south-southwest). It is only "near" to the extent that you can be there after a 30 minutes ride on a freeway at 90 mph...they don't even have the location correct...I wonder if all pieces of news you can find is that "rigorous" :rolleyes: which would explain the current world situation...anyway...

the guys around Paris are quite used to using rocket launchers...most of the time they use them for blowing up money transfer trucks...or just threaten them...but they still got AKs, and usually the operation is a lot less smooth and harmless than what they did at that Prison :(
