#7 The Norwegian foreign ministry has lodged an official protest after one of its research ships was shot at off the coast of Equatorial Guinea.

That will take care of the problem, all right. The only thing that will be a more effective tactic is premptive letters of protest, but that would be unilateralâ¢ and provacative. How far the vikings have fallen, and my son is named Leif.

#10 This is wild, who would ever think Equatorial Guinea taking on Norway!

#11 Norwiegain Anger? Dont discount it.

You oughta meet the Norwegian ski scouts (Bascially their version of infiltration and recon for the Arctic) I met on a Nordkapp exercise a long time ago (during the days of the Evil Empire). They are rather, umm, "cavalier" about borders, and first rate operators.

They rate up there with ROK Marines as "Hard Core".
