Russian Sub Safe

1. It always seems that when anyone gets into trouble like this it’s the English or the Americans that ride to the rescue. Good for the Brits. While the scum of the earth are bombing them in planes, towers, busses and subways they always find the time to help out in a situation like this.

2. That’s very true, John. And tomorrow the moonbats will bash away at them anyway…

3. Amen to that John & Candace….
   Shows the world who the good guys are even with the crap they gotta take from the scum of the earth….

4. It’s small acts of kindness like this that bring the world closer together. While terrorists from the dark ages ply their trade from shadows and alleyways, may the rest of us continue to reach for the stars, together.

5. It is action like this that makes every one feel better. You can bet there is a wide ranging expanse of positive vibes from all the realatives, the extended families of those rescued and much of the general public as well.

   Saving the Russians
   By: Nick Danger � Section: News
   Those of us who grew up with air raid sirens going off every Tuesday at noon; with classroom drills in which we got under our desks, covered our heads, and awaited the bright flash; with the spectacle of Khrushchev pounding his shoe on the UN podium while promising to “bury us,” can only marvel at the events of the last 48 hours.
   We, the Brits, and the Japanese � another one-time enemy � have all rushed to the aid of seven sailors trapped under the Pacific Ocean in a mini-submarine belonging to what we used to call the Evil Empire.
   The Russians are our friends now. We join with them in cheering that the men are alive and well. Just as we joined with them in weeping as events unfolded in Beslan.
   I will confess that I did not expect to see this in my lifetime. It is a bit like my father’s reaction to seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the Moon.
   I’m not sure what the lesson is here… but I am certain it is something we need to keep in mind as we go about the War on Terror. The day will come when we will all rush off to aid Iranians trapped in a mine, and we will cheer when they are rescued.

7. It would be interesting to learn what generous acts of help and kindness have been given to the world by fundamentalist countries like Iran and Syria who have billions in oil riches with which to help in times of disaster. 73s TG

8. The “Bear” salutes the “Lion”.
   Bear: “We bow before the experience brought by the sailor-rescuers of Great Britain’s Royal Navy.”

   The key to the submariners’ rescue from the seabed roughly 70 kilometres from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, was the arrival of a British navy team with a sophisticated Scorpio underwater robot.
   Using powerful cutters, the Scorpio slashed through the cables of a coastal defence antenna and a fishing net, in which the AS-28 had become trapped. The submarine was able to surface within six hours.
   The commander of Russia’s Pacific fleet saluted British expertise in the dramatic rescue.
   “We bow before the experience brought by the sailor-rescuers of Great Britain’s Royal Navy,” said Admiral Viktor Fyodorov, describing the British team as having “good technical equipment” and “the highest professionalism”.

9. A Canadian sub rescued by a “more powerful American tug”>>> US Navy tug, that is!
   Did the Librano$$$$$$’s Canadian Beaver thank the American Eagle? This is a rhetorical question: the answer is: Yes/No/Maybe???????

10. If the moonbat Russian government would just steal more money from its own impoverished people and spend it on the military these things wouldn’t happen.

    Without an anonymous phone call by a tearful woman to a local radio station, the world may have heard too late about the Russian submarine stranded in the Pacific to save its seven crew, the journalist who took the call claimed.
    Guzel Latypova, a journalist in the port city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, says the mysterious caller shattered an official silence and in doing so pressured the authorities to look abroad for help in mounting the rescue.
    The telephone rang at Radio 3, where Latypova is news director, about 24 hours after the AS-28 mini-sub became trapped 190 meters (625 feet) under the Pacific.
    “A woman called in tears. She was saying that a mini-sub had got stuck with seven men aboard in the Bay of Berezovaya,” Latypova, 32, recounted to AFP. The mystery caller said she had got the news from “someone” in the military.
