2003 -: USS Connecticut attacked!
 
I went looking on Wikipedia and found this under the USS Connecticut article

Alert Secret Service agents grabbed the bear and wrestled him to the ground.

This is clear evidence of hostile intent from polar bears. This is an act of war.

Someone should call Colbert. The drive-by media will just ignore this.

hoagiedriver is right, we need to get Colbert on the case.

He's the last man in the media to truly have America's interest at heart!

No, those were taken with the periscope camera. It would be nice if there was one, though...

I think the creature was a bi-polar bear,hence the behaviour!
