![]() "ZZBunker" The US was hardly standing by idle, since we bought and renovated Diego Garcia from the idiot British. Just in case their Indian sub-empire gets like you know, how do the British say it, bridgy. Diego Garcia is still BIOT (British Indian Ocean Territory). The joint UK-US facility is on lease to the US. Please explain to the commissoner in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, London, that the US has bought outright Diego Garcia and the BIOT. TJ |

Are the Ilois still trying to get their homes back and be allowed back on the island? IIRC they were suing the UK and the US. -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu Contact details : http://www.metalvortex.com/form/form.htm Website : http://www.metalvortex.com/ "It ain't Coca Cola, it's rice" - The Clash |

I didn't say that we bought BIOT. Given that I bought Tee-shirts from Picadilly Circus, Stone Henge, BIOT, Gitmo, Rockerfeller Center, The White House, and The Pentagon, none of them is anything more than a standard issue British-French-Canadian tourist trap. But, being Americans, rather than moron Europeans we bought landing rights in Diego Garcia, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Argentina, Panama, Ireland, Scotland, London, Paris, Berlin, Toronto, Moscow, Rome, Tel Aviv, New York, Washington, Los Angelos, San Diego, San Franciso, Seattle, Norfolk, North Carolina, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Orlando, Miama, Toykeo, Soeul, Sydney, The North Pole, The South Pole, North Dakota, Wyoming, and the Moon. We didn't really buy landing rights in Jeruselem since the Iraqis have squatters rights. |
