CNN reporting sub still tangled in a net.

AP reporting its free.

OR 600' of armored coaxial cable leading to the surface ...

That would do it as well. I thought these subs were equipped with propellor guards.

[Gabz]

FNC reporting details still coming in, but reporting it has been freed.

[tiredoflaundry]

Gosh, Now I have no clue what's going on!

Stel, think of this as a tiny moment, a nanosecond, in a long history of war and conflict on this earth.

For this tiny moment, we are all in the light of a little candle, being glad seven of our fellow men are not suffocating. We, for this brief time, forget the long history of conflict with the Russians, and remember we are humans and want to live and knowing our enemies want the same thing.

Does that make it any easier for you to climb off your big old tank perch and bask in the goodness of our fellow man? Isn't this what we want in life?

Hope they did get the job done completely, because now that Interfax link is saying the British Scorpio sub is having "functioning problems" and has surfaced:

Where is Dan Rather when you need him?

"These are men doing a job.

Human compassion is not a sad thing unless you are some kind of ice cold human being."


I just read a post of yours in this thread where you stated that you love russians, personally know them, etc. Based on your other responses in this thread it is evident that you have a vested emotional interest.

This is where liberalism rears its ugly head and has infected the body politic. Do you have compassion for your enemy? You're implying that I'm ice cold simply because I don't have compassion for people in a military that is conducting joint exercises with China. Do you know what that is? Do you recognize the implications of that? If they launched an attack on America with the help of the Chinese, you would still say that "These men are doing a job"? LOL

Again, you have compassion for an enemy that helped Saddam
before the war by selling him military equipment such as radar jamming devices. These likely lead to THE DEATH OF US SOLDIERS. On top of that, the Russian army helped Saddam move weapons out of Iraq before the war and actually got into a firefight with our soldiers in the early days of the war!! If soldiers died as a result, would you still say "These men are still doing a job"?

I was in broadcasting a long time. It's Saturday. Nothing but parttimers. Mondays always suck in broadcasting after the mess left by parttimers on weekends. Trust the wires on the weekend.

Back to fishing nets?

CNN has a breaking news headline "British robot craft cut the cables trapping Russian minisub and crew under Pacific, a Russian officer tells The Associated Press.", no link yet.

[datura]

Not true. Remember, Rudolph Hess and his buddies were "following orders". I was glad though that the Russian private who finally offed that old SOB did him the way he did.

Garroted with a phone cord.

I disliked that old b@stard intensely.

You really need to calm down, Stellar. You can make yourself very ill carrying on this way! :^)

That seems to be the most reliable source all evening, OT. Thanks for posting it.

Couldn't resist: Luke chapter 6
35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

You beat me to it.
