Perhaps France should invest its defense dollars in urine bombs, since that is what their troops leave trails of as they are running away from their enemies.

Perhaps the French should invest their defense budget in a large supply of MIL-SPEC diapers!

"What about the other stuff , like high unemployment and low growth and stagnant productivity and and actuarially unsound pension plans ?? Oh, yea, that will have to wait."
The French probably view high unemployment as another measure of how they are "better" than the U.S., because they have a shorter average work week.

Never mind productivity, or the lack thereof!

One day, a French spy received a coded message from an American spy claiming it came directly from President Bush. It read: S370HSSV-0773H.

The spy was stumped, so he sent it to his boss at the agency. His boss was stumped too, so he sent it to the Russians for decoding.

The Russians couldn’t solve it either, so they asked the Germans.

The Germans, having received this same message during WWII from the Americans, suggested turning it upside down.

"EuroMALE"

The perfect name for a French unmanned aircraft...

Are the French too afraid to man a warplane...
Why would the surrender monkeys invest in weapon systems, if they don't intend to fight anyone?

Semper Fi

Great picture, but where is the Frenchman's white surrender flag?

Or will he use a white table cloth which is not shown in the picture?

Did the French invent or adopt the use of white table cloths, so they are always close to a surrender flag while they are eating?

France to spend $200m on UAV 'know how'

June 25, 2004 05:14 PM

France will spend $200m on UAV technology 'know how' with Israel Aircraft Industries. They plan to produce Eagle unmanned aerial vehicles based on Israel Aircraft Industries' Heron/Eagle.
"As part of the agreement, the French defense industries, Dassault Aviation and European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company EADS NV (EADS) will develop a UAV, called Eagle, based on Israel Aircraft Industries' (IAI) Heron/Eagle (Mahats) long-endurance medium-altitude UAV. The French military already uses IAI-made Hunter UAVs, which it purchased six years ago in a smaller $30 million deal, as well as Heron/Eagle medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) type UAVs which it purchased three years ago."

The one short day we spent in Paris, all we saw were red table clothes.

Of course we mingled with the street people not the elite scum.

Thanks for the info.

Perhaps my theory about white table cloths was wrong ...
