Japan's stricken nuclear power plant was abandoned for hours today, as soaring radiation forced emergency workers to flee for their lives and authorities were reduced to spraying reactors with police water cannons.
All 50 emergency workers who had been fighting to keep overheating reactors cool were this morning pulled back 500 yards from the complex as radiation levels became too dangerous.
And in an extraordinary attack, the French government accused the Japanese of losing control of the situation and hiding the full scale of the disaster.

Or, maybe they just don’t surrender as quickly as the French?
Just to stir the pot a bit.

I guess I've answered my own question.
Stocks took a dive on this news. Bernake and the Feds are buying whatever they have to in order to hold 1275 on the S&P. Wish I knew what stocks they are buying at the PPT.
I’m sure the French are on the front line reporting the action...
Either way you answer this, you are CORRECT!
Do we have American “0” Presidential leadership here?
He didn’t sign up for this kind of world problems.
I see that Japan isn’t surrendering fast enough to suit the French. Didn’t they already move all of their people off the island?
The sad part is that he is making Bill Clinton look like a great president.

Sounds like the French are saying that Japan needs to admit defeat. When the going gets tough, the French surrender.
We are going in to a Depression. We will not make 2 more years with Obama in charge. No way. No how.
Has the GOJ asked the French for help?
Or just experts from the home of the brave...?
Surely the french who built a weapons grade reactor for Saddam Hussein in the 80’s are well versed in preventing every possible nuclear disaster
I’m not giving up, NEVER!
Call me crazy, but the French MIGHT know what they are talking about on that. Something like 80% of their electricity is generated from nuclear power.
It is one of the only things I agree with them on. That, and when they blew up that damn Greenpeace ship years ago.
Give up what? There is no way out of the economic box we are in. No way out. If there is...What?
Amazing. The sissy French are willing to say what the big-eared little kid in the playhouse is incapable of saying.
