Gas spilled into local creek

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

This is part of a local news broadcast in Flint, MI. I thought it was pretty messed up.

Emergency crews were on the scene of a gas spill Friday afternoon is Swartz Creek.It all began around 2 p.m. at the Admiral gas station at the corner of Miller Road and Second Street.

Fire officials say between 400 and 800 gallons spilled from a tanker truck that was refilling the underground tanks.

Much of the gasoline flowed down the street and into a nearby creek. HAZMAT crews were on scene cleaning up the spill.

Target the Prince

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

I read this article on CNN.com today and figured I would share it with everyone, just because it seems so messed up to me. The shiite are all wound up again and basically are out of control. They want to gun down the prince. Leave the little guy alone, his family has nothing to do with the war. You act like the royal family runs the UK.

LONDON, England (AP) — Shiite militants in Iraq claim to have set up a special squad to target Prince Harry if he is deployed there with his army regiment, The Guardian newspaper reported Saturday.

The newspaper quoted a commander in the Mahdi Army, the militia loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, as saying the group had informants inside British army bases who would tip them off about the prince’s presence.

“One of our aims is to capture Harry, we have people inside the British bases to inform us on when he will arrive,” the newspaper quoted commander Abu Mujtaba as saying.

The Guardian said it could not substantiate Abu Mujtaba’s claims and the British military dismissed them as propaganda.

Harry, 22, is a second lieutenant in the British army. His regiment, the Blues and Royals, is due to be deployed in Iraq in the next few weeks.

Royal officials announced earlier this year that the prince, who is third in line to the throne, would go with them. But this week military chiefs were reported to be reconsidering the deployment for fear Harry’s presence could endanger other soldiers.

The Ministry of Defense would say only that deployments are kept “under constant review.”

Abu Mujtaba told The Guardian that Harry would be a target not just for the Mahdi Army, “but every person who hates the British and the Americans will try to get him, all the mujahideen in Iraq, the al-Qaida, the Iranians all will try to get him.”

The government announced in February that it would begin withdrawing 1,600 of the 7,000 British troops in Iraq this summer as it hands over control of southern Iraq to local forces.

But the past few weeks have seen a surge in violence, with 11 British soldiers killed in Iraq this month. In all, 145 British troops have died there since the 2003 invasion.

*Wince*

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

I personally think that being an American is awesome.  It is too bad that a lot of countries look down on us because of our president.  Hey, not all of us voted for him!

A suicide bomber killed at least 58 people today when he blew up a car between two shrines in the Shiite holy city of Karbala, Iraqi police said. Scores more were hurt in the attack that apparently targeted worshippers heading to evening prayers. Meanwhile, anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr castigated President Bush for keeping troops in Iraq.
