    You mean where they still were giving us static about Hiroshima and Nagasaki a few years ago or that we had to bomb them at all?

    The a-bomb sucked, but they started that fight.

    Man, a day later in my return to the U.S. and I would have been stuck in Narita.

    We should have dropped a third just to make sure they got the point.


    ....oh hell make it 4. Might as well be an even number.

    Sad, I wouldn't trust what he Japan gov't is saying just now, saving face and all. Hope the radiation leak isn't bad and hope the thing hasn't started a melt-down.

    That saving face deal really gets them in a pickle.....you think they would learn from all the movies we've done about it.

    Let's see, they are saying now that in order to cool down the core, they are going to inject seawater. According to this nuclear physicist CNN hauled in to comment on it, no nuclear facility in the world has an emergency plan to inject seawater to cool down a reactor i.e. this is a last ditch measure because they got nothing left to try. Also note, the evacuation ring was expanded to twelve miles. Might as well have made it a hundred and twelve if this is as bad as they are not saying . . .

    It's good that they didn't ask us to send Coolant immediately

    They should try to reach the Enterprise and Captain Picard on a secured channel and ask for help. Gordi would have this type of stuff covered.

    Two was enough, we barely had the resources for that those and were kinda unsure if they would work perfectly. Good thing they thought the two meant we had more. I don't think they would have surrendered so easily if they knew we were done.

    There was a Hillary hater on here...no names....and he was unhappy with Hillary's response of the Air Force sending assets and another report said that the Military had no information on being asked to send coolant. That said another Spokesperson said Mrs. Clinton simply wasn't informed, in an effort to try and at least answer the reporters. Then it was all about what an idiot she was and blah blah blah. Later Japan said that indeed the Air Force had been asked to fly in powerplant generators in order to help keep the coolant flowing. Hours later we now hear they needed coolant and it seems a bit little to late.

    I know many folks don't care for Hillary or any of her views but I think in this case....she was indeed a lot more involved than anyone ever gives her credit for and she tries to solve problems first and satisfy reporters later. IMO....that's how Condi Rice did it too and every other Sec of State previously to her.

    I found it funny that people can be so blind that they can't see even a person like Hillary is eventually either going to disappear or rise to the occassion during a crisis. In this case....I have no idea whether or not she did everything or anything right......but it seems she tried to help Japan and they failed to treat that Nuclear Plant Plant with a Worst Case Scenario plan.

    Anyone using the news these Days to make judgements on peoples character probably ought to stiffle their opinion for a bit and in case of a crisis....give the ones in charge....no matter who they are....a chance to do the right thing. It's why they got elected whether we like it or not.

    Isn't that how Aquaman got his powers? I think he was swimming in the ocean one day and he accidentally got scooped up by a helicopter and got dropped into a nuclear reactor.
