Flights From Paris to U.S. Cancelled
MSNBC | December 24, 2003

Posted on 12/24/2003 10:41:16 AM PST by cyncooper

MSNBC just announced that three flights from Paris to the U.S. have been suddenly cancelled due to "security concerns". The first flight was scheduled to depart Paris heading for Los Angeles.

I could not find an article yet.

Bill Kriston on FoxNews saying the flights were probably cancelled due to "specific information" and not just general alarm. He said the US insisted that the first flight of the 6 not be allowed to take off from France.

I did not see the statement on the DHS website; it must have just been faxed to the media.

And your point is what? That, but for the few hours' margin Lafayette had to escape his own country wearing his head on his neck, the French are a great and noble race?

There are two words that capture France well, both today and in the history books. The Terror.

Literally millions of people on the fence will take it very, very personally.

True, but if a terrorist attack is prevented, people will say the Alert Level was hyped. If a terrorist attack actually occurs, they'll say it was the fault of the Bush administration. Darned if ya do and darned if ya don't.

The Terror was an invention of Republican France. Lafayette was an officer of the king of France. It was the French monarchy that played a key role in establishing our independence.

The same # flights 068,069 cancelled tomorrow and this time # 071, today it was #070 and of course it took hours to convince France we will not let them in our airspace

We're probably obliged by reciprocal rights under treaties to let them in, so no doubt that would require argument.
