As a New Zealander, I remember the Rainbow Warrior affair well, although it was an inept act of sabotage by the French Intelligence Service (caught by the NZ Police soon after), not the GIGN, who I have respect for.
Okay, I understand now. Can you imagine what they would have sent in if the Rainbow Warrior had been armed?

CH-46 is a Boeing product. Like I said there are many FReepers who are better than myself at answering that kind of question.
What a horrible cruel evil mean thing to say. (don't collect $200 - go straight to court-martial!)

I was in France when the GIGN dispatched the Islamic wacko hijackers in Marseilles.
My ship had a port visit in Cannes for the Christmas holidays. Several shipmates and I were the houseguests of a French family (Jewish, fwiw). When we saw the reports of the hijackers landing in Marseilles, our host assured us that " the hijackers won't get away with this, the GIGN will kill them".
Turns out she was correct. The hijackers, btw, wanted to crash the airliner in Paris, they speculate the Eiffel Tower was the target. Hmmmm... Imagine that, Islamic terrorists using planes as weapons, way back in 1994.
The GIGN and the FFL have been routinely been used to protect French (and only French) interests world-wide from terrorism.
The Rainbow Warrior was "scuttled" (albiet sloppily) because Green Peace interfered with the French interest to remain an independant nuclear weapon-producing nation. With GP meddling with French nuclear testing in the Pacific, they couldn't maintain that independant status and *gasp* may have to rely on another nation for nuclear testing data. If another country attempted the same act of overt sabatoge, they would be promptly scolded by the French in the UN Security Council.
Anytime someone, anyone, anywhere, kills Islamic wackos, it's a good day.
"Don't forget the french. Remember their little commando raid on a Green Peace ship...one unarmed environmental wasko dead, one unarmed ship sunk.".. Finally, a French victory!

I like your site - especially the straight forward declarations in the disclaimer. I also appreciate the fact that you keep the navigation easy by keeping the site links in the left-hand column on each page. I agree that ignorance breeds fear and I'm glad that someone with your technical and personal expertise is hosting such a site. Good luck with your endeavour.
Unfortunately, this is the only news source on all cruise lines.
Most of us were constantly turning this channel off as we couldn't stomach the blatant hate-America bias. Folks, it is sickening. No wonder a good portion of the world hates the United States. The owners and operators of CNN are treasonous, traiterous scum of the earth. They are fifth columnists and should be regarded as such for our own safety and that of our children.
If you think domestic CNN is bad, you should view its international programing. Your hair would stand on end. CNN is crafty enough to tone things down quite a bit for domestic viewing.
I'll be posting more about this on the apres-cruise thread when unpacked. I'm sure other freeper voyagers will also.

I wonder if the rhetoric has gotten worse since Turner lost control?
Good points. I wonder why the French/Iraqi oil ties aren't being played up more, especially in light of Monsieur Kerry's international connections.
It's actually a KV107. The airframe pictured is a Japanese license-built (Kawasaki) version. The markings are Saudi Ministry of Interior.
French IntelligenceOkay, I understand now. Can you imagine what they would have sent in if the Rainbow Warrior had been armed? A surrender team?
