"Nice try but no cigar --and no earthquake!" Right. So let's get this straight. The world according to Gus. The United States planted a couple million nuclear bombs deep under the ocean southeast of Sumatra for the sole purpose of swamping some Asian beaches. No matter that we could have basically wiped the globe clean by just dropping those bombs straight from airplanes. No, we had a much bolder plan... inject them into the ocean floor so we could take the Asian beachfronts by surprise on Christmas. Then, we'd cover it up afterwards with financial aid and pallets of bottled water. Are we clever or what. We also paid off every seismographic station around the globe to get them to declare they didn't see the pattern of a nuclear explosion, but to get them to print out some bogus earthquake patterns for the press. Sounds good to me. Puff Puff

U.S. ups tsunami aid from $35 million to $350 million cnn.com Not to mention the 37 million donated by the American people as of last night which doesn't include corporate donations. People are so quick to criticize Bush because they hate him....they wont even give him a chance. I'm surprised someone hasn't said we set off a Nuke in the ocean to create the tsunami. As usual we'll give the most from our Government, People and Corporations....just like I said days ago! Now they'll say we didn't announce fast enough LOL!! So now its not the amount....its the speed and time of announcing

The earth's axis didn't stir... Indonesian islets didn't budge... From the very source that you quoted here: Message 20909515 ---------------------------------------------------------- Q: How large was it? A: It was the largest since the 9.2 quake in Prince William Sound in Alaska in 1964 and the 4th largest in the century. The quake moved the entire island of Sumatra about 100 feet toward the southwest and even disturbed the Earth's rotation. It was the first tsunami in the Indian Ocean since 1883. Waves of around 30-40 ft in height and even greater were widely reported. ---------------------------------------------------------- Personally, I don't find very credible a "freelance journalist" who claims the US must have caused the deaths of 150,000 people by planting nuclear bombs on a fault line. Really. But you seem to find her credible, so I thought you might like to revise your assessment of "islands didn't budge" etc based on what her little Q&A soliloquy says...
