Greenpeace 'to blame'
AFP...News 24...South Africa ^ | 11/01/2006 | (SA)

Posted on 01/11/2006 6:55:01 PM PST by george76

Japan on Wednesday released a video in a bid to prove Greenpeace targeted its whaling ship in an Antarctic collision this week and accused the environmentalists of violent tactics.

Japan's main whaling body put a video on its website that showed Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise moving steadily forward before hitting the whaling ship Nisshin Maru, whose movement was impeded by another whaling vessel nearby.

"It was a deliberate action to get media coverage," Japan's Institute for Cetacean Research said in a statement.

"The Arctic Sunrise could have avoided this collision. Instead the skipper turned the boat into the path of the Nisshin Maru and rammed us at our weakest point," it said.

"This cannot be called a peaceful protest," it said in the statement accompanying the video at www.icrwhale.org.

"The Japanese are showing extraordinary restraint here, and should be commended."

I would be firing the ship's guns at the Artic Sunrise's conning tower.

What was the name of that imbecile terrorist sympathiser in Israel, that played the same type of "chicken" with a buldozer on shifting rubble? Racheal Something-or-other?

St. Pancake....and please speak in muted tones when uttering the name of The Flattened One.

Oh, and pass the damn syrup...

Is there a bag limit on Greenpeace functionaries?

Hey, it's an honest question the Japanese government is asking.

If I were the captain of the Japanese vessel and I were not carrying weapons...

I would have one of our high pressure fire fighting pumps attached to our fuel supply and at the next close approach of either the mother ship or the smaller zodiacs, hose them down and send a volley of flares into the diesel soaked boat.

There's not a chance I would allow these bastards to hit my boat and not send them to the bottom with all hands.

Greenpeace need to get its comeuppance.

The Japanese Maritime Self Defense Forces should ambush the Greenpeace nuts and tow their stupid wacko ships back to Japan as a prize. They are Pirates. Treat them as such.

I guarantee you the ecowackos will have most of the sass taken out of them by a couple of years in one of Japan's prisons. In Japan hard time is still hard.

Any ship with a rainbow painted on its bow deserves to be scuttled.
