Anonymous Coward User ID: 52395565 United States 03/14/2014 10:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now this puts a whole new spin on things…never knew there was a top secret US military base there that was the launch pad for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and may house a top-secret CIA prison! Quoting: Scubadiverbambi1 Holy Cow… [link to press.princeton.edu] Is Diego Garcia what Paul Simon was talking about? And why? Lyrics: Over the mountain Down in the valley Lives a former talk-show host Everybody knows his name He says, “There’s no doubt about it It was the myth of fingerprints I’ve seen them all and, man, They’re all the same” Well, the sun gets weary And the sun goes down Ever since the watermelon And the lights come up On the black pit town Somebody says, “What’s a better thing to do?” Well, it’s not just me And it’s not just you This is all around the world Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere There’s a former army post Abandoned now just like the war And there’s no doubt about it It was the myth of fingerprints That’s what that old army post was for Well, the sun gets bloody And the sun goes down Ever since the watermelon And the lights come up On the black pit town Somebody says, “What’s a better thing to do?” Well, it’s not just me And it’s not just you This is all around the world Over the mountain Down in the valley Lives a former talk-show host And far and wide his name was known He said, “There’s no doubt about it It was the myth of fingerprints That’s why we must learn to live alone” Oo oo oo, live on Live on Live on All around the world All around the world © 1986 Words and Music by Paul Simon |

It is probably the most important US Military asset in the world. It is not top secret...the only people that don't know about it are people that don't pay attention or haven't had reason to care. Though it has been mentioned so often in the last 20 years of our involvement in the Middle East, I am amazed people are oblivious. |

Perhaps you might find this a bit more informative… [link to www.cabaltimes.com] Life's a Beach, then you Dive! |
