More Clowns, Bushie Style

Posted by Cookie Jill at Skippy:

according to der spiegel a german plane delivering 15 tons of food to the us has been turned back on the grounds that the german army food rations might be contaminated with bse....(or mad cow disease as we know it in the us)the german spiegel link:

der spiegel claims military personnel in pensacola, florida, doubt the official version that fear of bse contamination is the reason for the refusal. they think it's more a case of the bush administration wanting to avoid the embarrassment of having to accept food aid from europe. those german army rations btw, are cleared by nato as bse free and are regularly eaten by us soldiers sharing duty with german soldiers in afghanistan...also at reuters and the guardian
