Taleban apparantly freaking out

What I would give to see that as a headline on the New York Times.

After the mexicans are sent packing (taliban), the wild indians (bin laden's bodyguards) will be easier to deal with, followed by the capture dead or alive of Jeronimo (bin laden).

Wowzers! What did you do? Use Babelfish or something like that? That Japanese article is barely translatable from its original WIN-J form.

Of course, things could be worse. You could have been forced to do a translation from original kanji.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Chubu is really much closer to in Inda... Reports fishing season in Indian occasion now, too many hornets bothering the fisherman, and with eagles soaring from the skies to snatch all the fish away, it is pretty much a done deal that the fishermen will not leave port right...

Please stay away from some of the automatic Asian to Western translation machines. They sometimes are only 30% accurate, and nearly 0% decipherable at times. Best to go with human translation and approximation, as has been provided initially in this post.

I encrypted the message to make it very vague, and confusing (intentionally).

My thrust was that fishing boats need to stay away from 100,000 ton ships or get swamped by their wake. Such ship launch Tomcats (the F14 kind) and Hornets (the F18 kind).

I also made a reference to eagles (as in F15 eagles).

But this is a very fragile part of the world, and India, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Red China all need attention in this situation.

There were reports of a fishing boat sighting one US Aircraft carrier (which is not news). But sighting more than one and lots of aircraft activity may hurt the US.

I intentionally was crypt. I wanted to cause some folks to think...
