SSAF CANCELS ALL CONTRACTS WITH THE FRENCH
SSAF ^ | 3-10-03 | dfu

Posted on 03/10/2003 1:55:19 PM PST by doug from upland

I work with a company that protects buildings from terrorist bomb blasts. Although my own area of concentration is dealing with buildings in the United States, the company has business all over the world.

I am very proud that our president, Nick Ashton (who has appeared twice on the DFU radio hour) has severed all business ties with the cheese eating surrender monkeys. Let them eat cake. We will not protect them.

SSAF.

AWESOME...........!

Bill O'rielly had a lot of talk this morning regarding this very subject......Right now the " Cheese Monkeys" are {+} 9 billion US$ on us in trade and business.

Even if we can cut 25% of our relations we can kill an already declining French economy.........

BOYCOTT

Hmm, maybe I didn't understand this but the only harm done is to an AMERICAN company. This is reverse boycott hurting american business.

Yes, very good! I too would like to stop buying anything from the French, but therein lies the problem: I can't think of anything they make that I would buy anyway. Their films are pretentious and boring, I prefer tap water to bottled water, I always choose domestic camembert over imported, and I'd have to be truely insane to buy a French car.

Can someone help me out here? What is an ordinary American likely to buy that's French? If I could only figure out what that might be, then I can make a point of not buying it.

Great, this does my heart good to see this. I emailed the company with the following;

You cancelled your contracts with France over their position? GOOD FOR YOU. It's great to see some companies stand tall and do the right thing for a change. Keep up the good work.

We have plenty of business. We don't need to help protect the French. It will not hurt SSAF.

Refuse to fly on AIRBUS equipment when making reservations with the airlines.
All you have to say is " What equipment is on that flight?" If they respond "AIRBUS XXX" say you want to be scheduled on a US manufactured aircraft.
If the airline says they don't have US equipment , book with another airline.

The harm is to them. We keep glass from killing people inside buildings in bomb blasts. Our SSAF EXTREME Fragmentation/Blast Security Window Film is the state of the art in the world. It sustains a 500-lb car bomb from 111 feet.

Hey, Mr. Frenchy, would you like a nice shard of glass in your head along with another glass of wine?

Americans should really keep the pressure up on the French boycott. It is starting to work! Chirac is already beginning to make noises, that sound like he is not so sure of his cause. His latest statement that Saddam Hussein is not cooperating with the UN MOVIC Inspection Team, coupled with the revalation of Chief Inspector Hans Blix's attempt to conceal knowledge of unmanned Iraqi drones capable of spraying chemical weapons over areas of combat or target areas shows that the moral position of France's opposition to the War on Iraq is weakening.

Saddam Hussein, a monster in a league with Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and Mao, must be taken out. We appplaud America and her President for her valour, determination and leadership in standing for world peace, freedom, and democracy.
