I posted earlier on this subject. Now the plot starts to thicken a bit.

I just cannot, just cannot, really I cannot believe that the French government is mixing itself up in this matter! Sar off

How many orders have they lost this quarter?

You'd guess they'd take a different direction.

The French have always called the shots, and the Germans went along because French sponsorship helped wash away the guilt of the Nazi past.

But now we're talking about big money in two failing economies, and possibly the future of industrial Europe.

So, the French are most interested in regaining control, having just used the crisis to push a German out of the driver's seat, the Germans are most interested in getting things straightened out, and Daimler Benz just wants out of the whole mess.

What do the A350 & the Mexico Border Fence have in common? Both have been approved, but neither has been funded. Any bets on which one has a better chance?
