Fires in Greece

Pardon the pun....

But seriously, one of my co-workers (from Greece, has family and land there, completely credible) was saying that these fires are out of control.

The worst part of it is that they are finding homemade incendiary devices all over the country.

Looking at the New York Times they make no mention of the fact these are arson related and uses this opp to blame the Greek government for not doing enough. Unreal... Commie paper linky

So what do you make of the arson there? Terrorist related?

Strange you should mention this. I spoke with one of my old professors who is a friend of mine. He was in Olympia and said that a lot of it was arson and that the fires spread since Greece gets minimal rain during the summer.

It has been reported for the last couple of days that is was arson. Why are you reading or believing anything in the new york post?

I was half way to the kitchen for the fire extinguisher before I realized the thread title was NOT a classic arfcom typo.

I think the reason the fires are spreading is that they are putting water on the fire. Everyone knows you dont put water on a Greese Fire.

Sparta is burning! Obviously the work of...well, you know...

Seriously- I find it suspicious if you superimpose a map of Sparta over a map of the fires in Greece.
