"Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico."

I am simultaneously amused and ... No, I'm just amused. If something bad happens, I'll feel another emotion at that point.
Heh...

Great, more blowback. Ten years from now, a team of elite commando dolphin suicide bombers will simultaneously take out the ports of New Orleans, San Francisco, and New York.

No, No, No!!!

It is "dolphin's don't kill people, the projective from dolphin crewed weapons kill people."

and why should anyone be concerned about blow back from this event, it's not like there is anything like evolution where these animals will pass along to their children the things that they learned while working with the military. I mean look at the president, clearly he never learned anything from his father's time in the military.

So why worry, be happy, Flipper is out there protecting america from those Al-Qaeda Satanic Gay Homosexual Zombie piloted Iraqi Flying Saucers that want to impose excessive governmental regulation on the market place.

It's a hilarious story, but really, it seems the guy making a fuss about it (Leo Sheridan, A Respected Accident Investigator), is kind of a kook. This isn't the first time he's been going on about how he's sure the US Navy is arming dolphins:
