US jets 'bombed' Great Barrier Reef
 

I wouldn't be too bothered if I were the US...Australia is in a similar financial mess to the UK so probably can't afford to go to war :)

The list of countries that have been bombed by the Americans grows ever longer :har::har:

... bombed?!

THIS. IS. AUSTRALIA!


:stare:

No real foul, the bombs were not deliberately targeted at the reef or detonated, impact damage would be minimal.

Just watch out for all those green lawyers preparing a case on behalf of Nemo:Kaleun_Binocular:

We're not going to tolerate Australia having that reef anymore. It was a threat to the US and suspected of having ties to Al-Qaeda. :har:

Blame it on Abu Qatada.:03:


@ Garren,

You're only half-way to hell?

What happened? Your hand basket break down?:03::haha:

Something like that. :shifty:

No matter...I doubt Flipper was amused :)

"Mr. Rudd, Tear down that Barrier [reef]" :D

"If they land on the beaches we'll take care of them Skippy"

I read this story on the FOX news site, and people in Oz were "outraged" because they allowed a "foreign power" to destroy thier reef.

Remember, you let us practice there. Pay your fair share in the UN, 1k troops in rear areas is crap in my book.

You can always defend yourselves? Pay your fair share to the UN, develop your own weapons, rather than sucking off of our massive military budget like leeches. Discount planes, your nominal effort in UN wars compared to the USA.

Float your fair share, then bitch about the stupid coral.

For your information, harriers cannot land with bomb loads, and the site you guys let us use, was not clear of hazards forcing them to abort bombs, or eject.

The only other option to a few 2 ton bombs falling outside the reef area, is 2 harriers falling into the reef area and a few dead pilots, because they lacked the fuel to land, and cannot land with ordinance.

Your politicians really piss me off, as much as my own do.

:har::har::har:

Are the fish petitioning to government?

In breaking news, the fish and coral have filed charges to The world court, charging America with Genocide, on the scale of Pol pot, the Nazis, and the Armenian Massacre.

Be happy the bombs were inert, and you did let us practice there....

Only one thing to add...
 

Who's next?
