... has anyone noticed the ChiComs are planning to run the torch through Tibet? The official stop is Mount Qomolangma, that is to say, Mount Everest. Blaming riots on the "Dalai clique", this Red China propaganda site celebrates the prospect.
Tibetans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Olympic flame, lit Monday afternoon in Greece, and welcome its being carried to the top of Mount Qomolangma (Everest) as "an honor equivalent to an Olympic gold."
A highlight of the torch relay will be to take the Olympic flame to the summit of Mount Qomolangma in May.
"The torch relay will be Tibet's biggest contribution to the Beijing Olympics, and should bring us mountaineers honor equivalent to an Olympic gold," Nima Ciren, principal of the Lhasa Mountaineering Guide School.
This, my friends, is what we call taking the piss. Time to set up base camp outside the Chinese consulate. |
