#3 CESM - I can't read French - but I think that's funny. Besides, I think these blackmail threats are just Jacques latest way of sending the terrorist cash.

#5 Update from al-Guardian: French train employee found an explosive device buried in the bed of a railway line heading from France to Switzerland on Tuesday, the Interior Ministry said Wednesday.
Bomb disposal experts neutralized the device, which was half-buried under a track in the village of Montieramey, on a train line heading from Paris to Basel, Switzerland, the ministry said in a statement. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The Interior Ministry said the device did not resemble bombs described in threats by a mysterious and previously unknown group calling itself AZF. The group claimed to have planted nine bombs along the country's rail network and has threatened to explode them unless it is paid millions of euros (dollars).

So, did it or did it not resemble a AZF bomb?

#7 You can sign me up. I'm a Rantburger too. I agree with the premise of this site. Your intimidations don't mean squat to me pal. So don't forget to add mine to your hate mail list.

#10 As an Ex in country NAM vet I take exception to that. However, thast's not important. I'm part of a larger patriotic group called an American
Veteran, that would also include my brothers in Iraq, Afgahnistan and elsewhere. I've a lot more friends than enemies like your kind. Out of curiosity would you be an anti war protester. You know the kind that burns American Flags? If so, some of my buddies would like to meet you sometime.

I almost hate to say this but, has anyone checked out the guy who "found" the IED?

#15 It shouldn't be hard to get Boris to respond. He is basically a coward. Trying to pose as a man.

#16 Bill, Boris is too low to warrant being called a coward.
