Talk about a major FUBAR..

[Doogle]

she snipered it

[brivette]

indeed; I used to make coolant for the fast attack sub I was on.

[El Cid]

Another Winning The Future moment?

What did they do, drop it off at the wrong place?
The Secretary of State was just wrong (again)?

Yup, Winning The Future - certainly an appropriate acronym for this administration.

Democrats are incompetent for any crisis except handing out welfare checks paid for by us the working taxpayers.

Fire them all in 2012.

[Logical me]

This whole bunch of jacka$$es noses must be at least a yard long by now. King Obama would probably reach the moon.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier had said that U.S. Air Force "assets" had delivered "some really important coolant" to a Japanese nuclear power plant.

She'll clarify that statement after she gets a fresh bottle of vodka.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Is this the same Hillary Clinton dodging bullets while landing in Afghanistan?

[ScreamingFist]

The smartest women in the world doesn’t know coolant from generators.....we’re screwed.

[jersey117]

She totally FUBAR’d the middle east. she’s just trying to be relevant. She is as clueless as her leader.

[bcr100]

Hillary is an idiot, but since she is a democrat, the MSM would rather label Palin as an idiot instead and any other woman republican. Pelosi also says stupid stuff all day long, but she’s a genius.

[EGPWS]

Talk about a major FUBAR..

That's okay as long as she is monitoring the situation and is deeply concerned..

[micmac]

Hillary Clinton lied????

[Ev Reeman]

Since Japan is an island and prone to earthquakes, large and small, it should have been better prepared for emergencies. Granted earthquakes do not give much in the way of warnings. Still given Japan’s history of natural disasters especially earthquakes, it should have been much better prepared. Also, there are many low lying areas in Japan that are especially vulnerable to tsunamis. Another problem is the densely populated areas which many are huddled together. This also poses quite a problem in the event of a natural disaster. My heart goes out to the people of Japan. Having said all that, I can see the late night guys poking fun of this by incorporating footage from the Godzilla movies.

US did not deliver coolant to Japan nuclear reactor...

But had it been Iran.........?

[BluH2o]

Hilldabeast is an idiot, that we know here at FR.
The coolant story seemed bogus right from the start ... there was no way we could react that quickly. Coolant that nuclear reactors use is not lying around stockpiled for emergencies by the U.S. anywhere close to Japan. Guam possibly but unlikely. Hillary is on one of her fantasy flights ... i.e., the dodging bullets story at the airport in Bosnia.

[for-q-clinton]

Sorry but you’re wrong. Today’s taxpayers aren’t paying their welfare checks...the yet to be born taxpayers will pay it.

[jonrick46]

This is indicative of the poor job the State Department is doing under the Hildebeast. No way is she up to the task of POTUS.

[Hot Tabasco]

The Japanese physics guy on GMA this morning said that it was a failure of the back up system to release coolant water whose sole purpose is to absorb the heat from the reactor.....

There is no magical chemical used, just plain old water - H2o. The stuff fish swim in and the stuff that falls from the sky just when you start your annual family picnic..........

[ScreamingFist]

Apparently we’re smarter on FR that all the combined might of the US gov.......
