Don't forget Rumsfeld. He must have had something to do with it.

What that they came out un-harmed? Thank God the Ketchup boy was not
elected, the whole area might have been destroyed.

PENTAGON The U-S Navy says all of its ships and other assets survived
south Asia's killer tsunami with no significant damage.

The closest U-S base to the affected area is on the Indian Ocean island
of Diego Garcia. The base emerged unscathed.

A Navy official says three P-3 Orion aircraft have been deployed to
Thailand. The aircraft are geared for survey work. A spokesman says
they don't engage directly in search and rescue operations, but they
are an invaluable resource for such missions. Their crews can spot
people stranded in the tidal wave area and can even drop life rafts to
them.

Navy officials say cargo flights may be initiated later -- to bring in
food, water and other supplies. Officials say the State Department is
now mulling the possibility of using military transport planes to bring
American tourists back home, but no decision has been made yet.

He parted the tidal wave to go around the Atoll.
