southsider2k5 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Apparently the Pentagon was never hit by a plane on 9-11... http://www.nationalreview.com/robbins/robb...bbins040902.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 You have to be f***ing kidding me. Do they not have video proof of the plane? The French are always against us, what a bunch of pricks. All we do is bail them out of wars. I'll never understand French people. I think we should stop including them in all we do. They are not a good ally. I'd take the Austraillians or some other country over the French anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I'm beyond done trying to figure out France. I hope and pray that if that piss-poor country is ever invaded again, we just sit back and let it happen. I know we won't let it happen, but we should. :fyou France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 correction: that article offers an opinion by one French writer, not the view of France. we can post any number of articles by looney Americans and win the loony contest. that article also comes from the National Review, hardly a credible source when they attempt to heap derision on someone. I give the NR the same degree of credibility as I give that french writer. Reality is France has been a valued ally on sharing of intelligence information.

I'm French, so I usually don't like it when people gang up on the French, but I have been disappointed with their performance in the post 9-11 world. They seem to be more inclined to do nothing than to help us in Iraq, until we win then they want to get in for the oil. and btw what do you call 100,000 French men with their arms in the air?

1549 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Also, one of the funniest things I have seen was when Robin Williams made fun of the French during his "Robin Williams Live on Broadway" HBO special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 You have to be f***ing kidding me. Do they not have video proof of the plane? The French are always against us, what a bunch of pricks. All we do is bail them out of wars. I'll never understand French people. I think we should stop including them in all we do. They are not a good ally. I'd take the Austraillians or some other country over the French anyday. Interesting enough there was no actual footage of the plane hitting the pentagon. They only released still images, which recorded shots at a intervals. BUT what was missing from the clips (and fuelled conspiracy theorists) was the one frame that would of identified if it really was a plane that hit the pentagon. It would show the elapsed time of the crash in hundreths of a second (relating to minutes, hours, ). There was a few pictures before the crash, and some afterwards showing a huge fireball. What others seem to argue (which convinced me) is that the plane is flying over 200 miles into the pentagon; there's going to be a good chance a camera that takes still shots might miss it. And, don't forget the hundreds who witnessed the plane fly over a major highway before crashing. Its ridiculous to write an entire book about this, but people who are looking to blame Bush will make it a best seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM23 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Actually, this is nothing more than regurgitated material from several American conspiracy theorists that have been circulating since rougly September 12, 2001.'

I agree that the French people as a whole are not saying this, but the fact that this book is such a big seller does serve as a sort of indictment of the French people. I, personally, think the French are worse than useless. But I guess being the butt of many a joke is enough to give a nation an inferiority complex.

Soxplosion Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Maybe so Flash, but like the writer of that article said, what happened to flight 77 and all its passengers? No footage, yeah, but no plane or passengers either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 The French Army? ding, ding, ding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Psssssssst. There are french military fighting alongside the US in Afghanistan. That aside, this is the army that hasn't won a war since Napoleon. They even lost a war to GREENPEACE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Of course they won under Napoleon. They were fighting themselves! Actually, I saw that on a link that was posted here. Some site was joking French military history and noted the only war it won was its own Revolution cuz they were fighting themselves...

IlliniBob72 Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 I don't know. Maybe they consider us even for the help they gave in the American Revolution. I'd say saving their asses twice in the last 85 years more than makes up for it though. Three times if you want to count Vietnam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
