Airbus Chief Probed

Noel Foregeard, co-chief executive of Airbus parent company EADS, has admitted knowing about problems with the new superjumbo A380 for months before the public announcement that sent the price of EADS tumbling 26% when announced earlier this week. He maintains, however, that he only learned of the problems after he sold shares of the company in March.

French regulators are "probing" into the matter. Why does that sound so dirty?

Speaking about how dirty are the french.
Now that everybody knows that the war in Irak was to overthrow the guy who wanted to start an oil market in Euro, it would have been a clean stuff to send french troops getting killed for the defense of the petro-dollars.
They almost went these suckers.
Well, we will get them cleanly another time!

Rather than dirty, it sounds uncomfortable and yucky.

I even remember.
I use to live in this country of slimes
with my wife and children in 1995.
I was in that dirty city of Paris.
At the time our dear beloved president's father George the first was trying to get some democracy going through the world. He was ashamed of the french attitude towards a democratic islamist group named IAG (GIA in french); the islamist armed group who had won the election in algeria.
Well; believe it or not, these bastards french refused to accept the poll result and backed up the moderate party in charge at the time.

Our president father who knows very well the algerians because he was just dealing in some kind of a gas fit with them was just ashamed. So were we!
Are dare they step on democracy like this.

Well! the IAG started putting bombs in Paris in the market places. Bombs filled with nails and screws to have more effect.
I used to sympathized with these ideas (as they were backed up by my country)and I used to stroll with my kids in the markets, hoping that they could be killed or better, defigurated as many did, for the good cause of democracy.
I know how much our president father loves the kids. So I was so proud of these innocent martyrs.

And now, they are after the son.
Poor Georgie boy; these filthy bastards are really after him.
The rats!

This is an answer to a previous post


I don't call that a technically failure jackass.

A commercial failure, certainly!

The first prototype was rolled out at Toulouse in 1967.
One crash in 33 years.
An Unparalleled Safety Record.

The same democratic islamist group that our dear president father was backing up (not for the gas deal he could not make with the moderate party in charge before, but for pure democratic purposes - that would be too yucky coming from us), well!, that democratic islamist group had already attempted in 1994 to throw a plane on Paris. The attempt had failed and the french army had dirtily slaughtered our democratic friends in the plane before they could make their glorious democratic show.

Bummer!

Another dirty (yucky) attempt by the villainous and dingy french to put a halt to democracy.
