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.
