magritte-airbus.JPGNoel Forgeard is still fighting to keep his post at troubled planemaker Airbus, Bloomberg reports.

Noel Forgeard co-chief executive of Airbus's parent, said he won't quit following delays in the delivery of A380 superjumbo jets and questions about his sale of shares, resisting pressure from the group's German shareholder.

Forgeard, 59, responding to questions in a closed-door session of the French parliament's finance and economic affairs committee, said there was “no question,” of him resigning, according to Pierre Mehaignerie, the committee's co-head.

Insert joke about the Germans not seeing this much French refusal to surrender since the first world war here.

Yeah!
It is not like chickenhawk surrending in front of a bunch of Iranians and North-Koreans.
Too afraid to get a beat-up like in Irak.
Did you say Vietnam?

What about getting nasty on Grenada again.
That would be a great easy war.
We could be proud of our men and make another movie with Clint.
Hell! this was the good old time!
When we could beat off some tough guys "mano a mano".

In the meantime Lets these airbus guys fight between them.
We will do like in WWII. We will wait that the all fight gets done and we will step in as heroes, put some kind of Marshall plan with boeing and get all those contracts.
The hyena way, you know!

Yeah!
The american way.
The only way!
With all the lip service that's building up.

Don't get me wrong twerp!
There are still some men in your country.
The big problem is your kind.
The kind that fights behind a desk.
The Canis aureus type.

The new rulers of america:
The one that pretend to have qualities or beliefs that they don't really have.
The bathetic mongrels that hit low.

Do you want to know why I don't read CNN anymore; because they have replaced Captain Ted courageous with people of your type.
Scum money bag twerps!
Yuck!
Ugh!

LOW BLOW

PARIS (MarketWatch) -- French luxury goods company LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA (12101.FR) Wednesday said the Paris appeals court has increased a fine previously levied on Google Inc.'s (GOOG) French unit for trademark violation, to EUR300,000 from an initial EUR200,000.
LVMH, which is fighting to prevent on-line searches using Google from displaying advertising for competitors or counterfeiters, said it was "satisfied" by the decision.
