Thousands Dead

There has been a disaster in the Red Sea. Whole article here.

An Egyptian ferry carrying about 1,300 people sank in the Red Sea overnight during bad weather, and rescue ships and helicopters pulled dozens of bodies from the water Friday, an official said. About 100 survivors in lifeboats were rescued.

Egypt has already refused Israel's offer of help in searching for and rescuing survivors. Apparently it is better to die than to owe your life to a Jew. How long will it be before the Arabic language press begins airing/printing conspiracy theories blaming Israel and/or President Bush for the disaster? And how long will it take after that for Michael Moore/Cindy Sheehan/Congressional Black Caucus/Anti-War.com/Hollywood/Howard Dean/dailykos/moveon.org/Minister Farrakan to pick up on it?

I'll bet that before the end of next week there will be at least one call to Rush, Laura, Sean, Tammy or the G Man seriously stating that the Jews or Bush sank the ferry to kill Muslims returning from the Hajj.
