Arrr! Cap'n Sumdood is a salty seadog!
Cuba claims this is some other dude's ship and they don't know who left the weapons in the hold. They didn't even know those weapons were in there. Also, they were just holding it for somebody else. And they were told they didn't work anyway.
At some point, just about every law officer has to ask, "If I search your pockets, will I find anything?" To which the person invariably answers, "No."
When the officer does find the 'something' that shouldn't be there, the answer from the wearer is sometimes, "But these aren't my pants."
By the difference in publicity between this story and the pending Royal birth, it seems like most of the U.S. press believes the idea that Cuba was pretty much wearing someone else's pants.
In the last 5 years that ship has had a fatal stabbing, a massive drug bust, been detained for smuggling nuke tech, and had 'engine trouble' requiring a slow steam past the shore of Somalia while carrying a 50/50 cargo of ammo and food (getting snapped up by pirates, of course, and then mysteriously released. Now this. Oh, and the Capt. tried to off himself after his crew gave up fighting off the Panamanian po-po. Shots were fired. Oh, nevermind, Kim Kardashian's baby!
So, the Chong Chon was on its way home with a load of candy, and doubtless some tea, minding its own business, when it was profiled and stalked by some American Hispanics.
Good to see Sumdood is back to pulling off highjinks. The world has been quite dull since his last adventure in Benghazi. No wonder Zimmerman could be overheard any given day pounding the table and yelling, "Damn these slow news days!"

So, this is Mookie's ship?

ReplyDeleteSo those meddling Panamanians loused up the Cubans' plan to palm off some useless junk on the unsuspecting Norks?
ReplyDeleteCastro a Shaggy fan?
