Sounds like a play for more Aid to me.
Has anyone pegged this on Bush, Cheney and Halliburton yet?
I suppose none of Europe's precious international environmental treaties cover this.
Ah ha, now we are finding out where Russia is dumping all their obsolete nuclear subs.
Just the war lords trying to cash in on a piece of the action. It beats eating lizards and bugs.
Huh? People in Somalia? I thought they were all driving cabs in San Diego and contributing to cultural diversity.
In related news, a crate of the unsold autobiography "My Life" has also cracked open and been washed to shore. Villagers report outbreaks of rampant vacuity and bleeding eyeballs in all literate inhabitants.
Actually, I am not surprised! With all the arrogance of the Europeans about recycling, it didn't take long for us to realize, after we moved to Europe, that they were shipping the stuff to other countries. I don't know how much they pay the country it is dumped in, but this has been going on for some time...a couple decades, if not longer. I'm not sure that most Europeans are aware of this, as the press is controlled by the government. When I brought this up in tea group (German-American) they ladies were shocked, but I'd seen the stuff first-hand. They have strict laws about dumping things and burying things here. You cannot just flush out-dated medications down the toilet here either, and they hate bleach, so you have to sneak it into your house.
But as one of the other commentors said, it will be Bush's fault somehow, if not here, in the USA amongst the dims & libs.
I would be surprised if the usual suspects didn't try to seize on this story as "proof" that the tsunami was deliberately caused by an underwater Israeli nuclear blast.
