" ... canceled at the request of the U.S. embassy in Paris."

Atleast the U.S. is on their toes. The French could care less. I'm just thankful that they agreed to the U.S. request. That country is crawling with Muslims and French who despise U.S..

Probably didn't want to see which would prove the better...a French built Airbus or an American made Patriot.

There's no reason to thank them, since they had no choice but to abide by the U.S. request. If they refused, these flights would not have been permitted to enter U.S. airspace -- and it's a long way back to Paris from the east coast of the United States.

You're right. They are known for harboring terrorists and islamofacists. The Ayatollah(Iran) and many other Ayatollahs, lived in France for many years before coming back to Iran and upstaging the Shah of Iran. This, IMO, is when the suicide bombings and all the other terroristism grew to where it's at today, thanks to the mentality of Ayatollah Khomeni and France(harborer of Islamofacist terrorists).

Hmmmm? According to FOX, France was told .. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LAND HERE! .. end of conversation. France cancelled the flight because we wouldn't let them land, not because France was being so concilliatory toward us.

Also .. the French arrested 6 (I believe) .. whom they have already released and now the French are saying we over reacted. The French will do anything to make us look foolish.
