You want your very own Chernobyl?

I'm in favor of nukes, I know they can be operated safely, but I'd be cautious who I bought them from. As much as I hate to admit it, the French seem to have been the most successful at building multiple cookie cutter plants.

The French are the guys the Israelis steal from when they want to steal the very best not made in the USA.

Rumor has it the Israeli nuclear program, as well as some of it's aviation, was built on French designs.

First the V-22 admission now bowing to the frogs, are you sufficiently patriotic? I have my doubts.

What V-22 admission? Are you disparaging the Marine Corps...punk.:p

We never had a chance to build cookie cutter plants here because every plant built was to a different set of rules. The US powers that were, kept changing the rules.
France set a design and charged ahead, just making minor upgrades instead up major redesigns as they went.

Of course that may be why the french people are so wacky but that wouldn't be a problem for the Aussies.
