[Gorons]

Local news just flashed that an Egypt Airliner has crashed in Egypt...

Reporting majority of ~135 passengers are French tourists....

How would the Egyptian official have any real idea this soon that the cause was a "technical fault" and not terrorism? Have folks forgotten the SAM shot at the charter plane full of Israelis leaving Kenya? That was only a few months ago.

With that recent crash in Africa, there's been too many crashes lately.

That is the original El Rushbo clip but they reduced the size to convert it to .gif format and chop the bytes down to reasonably uploadable bytes and a quick connection time.

There was a large horizontal border about 1/3 way up from bottom where scrolling text had been and had just been "painted" over with a wide ugly pink band.

I cropped of the bottom, added the text on a black bg to inform those who have no idea what the video is, and resized it larger.

Resizing a tiny animation always causes loss of resolution as the pixels start looking spotty and odd, but in this case I usually resize it using HTML code when I post it.

Slick Willie really gets caught there and is kind of off guard when he spots the camera before he goes into his traditional sob sister routine.

If you did not notice, I linked the vocal song "Changing Partners" in .wav format to that graphic.

The Klintonistas "Changed Partners" quite often.

I am after a Vince Foster video walking with Hillary to convert it to .gif format so it can be used on FR and elsewhere for now and for many years to come.

Linked to the right .wav or .mid it should be a real instant winner.

The AF1.gif is pretty idiotic too.

How many people perform on live cameras and expect nothing to leak out?

France asks that manslaughter inquiry be opened into crash

The Eqyptians never have recovered from the last plague of frogs.

I've always thought it very telling that the guy walking next to Sniffles maintains his smiling, jovial demeanor throughout the walk. Someone forgot to tell him to cry on cue too.

[little jeremiah]

IIRC from the previous Egypt Air crash before 9-11, (the one with the pilot praying to Allah before the crash) the Egyptian officials were not only uncooperative but denied from the outset that it was deliberate. So I doubt it they are to be trusted in investigating this crash either.

Thanks for the ping. This crash has been dismissed so quickly, I might have missed it. 137 people killed, and it gets just a shrug. Amazing!

Iran faithful shout 'death to France'

TEHRAN - Thousands of Muslim worshippers shouted "death to France" during weekly prayers in response to a sermon denouncing a proposal to prohibit Muslim schoolgirls in France from wearing headscarves.

Ayatollah Ahmad Janati called on Islamic countries to "threaten France with cancelling contracts and to reconsider their relations with France" over the issue.

After months of heated debate, a committee of French experts recommended in December banning "conspicuous" religious insignia from state schools, which are secular.

This would include the hijab, or headscarf; the Jewish kippa, or skullcap, and large crucifixes.

In a subsequent speech, French President Jacques Chirac came out in favour of the ban, which he wants written into law by the start of the next academic year.

But Janati assured worshippers that all that was necessary was "a roar from Muslims, and the French would back off."

He called on the French authorities to "let Muslim women express their freedom and carry out their religious obligations."

His comments were welcomed by shouts of "death to France."

Ever since Chirac spoke on December 17, Arab and Muslim countries have been voicing outrage, even if a few intellectuals dispute claims that Muslim women are bound by duty to wear the headscarf.

Numerous Iranian officials, including reformist President Mohammad Khatami and nearly 200 members of parliament, have already called on the French authorities to reject the ban.

"I hope the French government, which claims to be avant-garde in liberty, equality and fraternity, will cancel this wrong decision," Khatami said last week.

He said the "hijab is a religious necessity and its restriction is a sign of a kind of extreme nationalistic tendency."

On Monday, around 150 conservative students, including women wearing the head-to-foot chador, demonstrated in front of the French embassy in Tehran shouting "death to France" and "death to Chirac the Zionist."

France wants formal probe into Red Sea crash

January 03 2004 at 03:39PM

Paris - French Justice Minister Dominique Perben on Saturday asked prosecutors to open a judicial inquiry for manslaughter after an Egyptian Boeing 737 crashed into the Red Sea, killing at least 133 French tourists.

A justice ministry spokesperson said the step did not "prejudge in any way the causes of the tragedy", but said it provided a legal framework within which French and Egyptian investigators could work together.

France earlier said it wanted to help Egyptian authorities "shed light on the situation" by sending a team to identify bodies and investigate the causes of the crash.

A plane crashes into the sea with so much force that all the passengers are broken into pieces, yet no communication from the pilot of anything being wrong, and the Egyptian officials are quickly certain that it was a technical error?

Yeah right.

But hey, obviously God killed all those on board to send a message, since someone saw the Virgin Mary appear in her oatmeal 2 times this morning, while holding her 2nd(left) hand over her eyes and squinting, and passing gas twice during this revelation. If you draw a line from the crash site, to the airport, to the pyramids, to the Taj Mahal, to Oprah's house, to the Jefferson Memorial, to the New Madrid quake site, to Ms. O'Leary's barn in Chicago, to Dennis Rodman's house, and to the center of highway 666, you get a picture of Moses scratching his forehead(if you turn it sideways and squint.) Clearly a sign. Thank goodness for Freeper prophets, so God can communicate with us. I guess the Bible isn't enough...

[bluefish]

The communication by the sender is efficient but ineffective in that the response by the receiver (ie, me through my posts) is not the desired response. Even though no response was wished by the sender, the fact that I did respond makes his message sent ineffective, again, since, no response was expected.

Hogwash. That is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. If the message did not come through clearly, it was the fault of the receiver, not the transmitter. The rest of us got it just fine.

I could forgive you for the original misinterpretation. Hoever, your statements blaiming the "sender of the message" for your inability to understand, even though all the rest of us understood perfectly, is disturbing.

Would you have us dumb down the entire forum just so you don't misread anything?

Anybody been on the big terror threat thread in the last few days?

A new graphic was posted (at least 24 hours before this crash) from a Jihadi website with a bloody hand rising out of Saudi Arabia with a map of the RED SEA area.

I'll find the link. It's too coincidental for me.

Just like the calendar that came out before 911 with the plane going down in NYC.

One Moroccan tourist? Wonder what was in his luggage?

Then go to post 4703, to see the graphic posted by LayoutGuru2 on 12/31/03 and tell me if it doesn't make you concerned? (maybe someone can get the pic up on this thread - I am too dumb to do that)

[jjbrouwer]

"Ever been to France?"

I've been to France plenty of times and I wouldn't describe the French as "lower beings" who "reap what they sow".

I can picture you sitting in front of your computer munching Doritos and high-fiving the screen just because a bunch of innocent people have died.

You are one sick puppy.

Great job on the video!!
