No, it was the Bush administration. Unless you're Republican, then it would be the Clintons. Or if you're Green Party, then it would be the Big Business. Or if you're libertarian, it would be the Military Industrial Complex.
its funny reading all the people who took the video seriously's comments. people are f'ing stupid you think that the comparison of the melting ice, and the metal would be a dead giveaway that it wasn't serious, but people still try to refute all of the videos arguments. you could get a good laugh out of the comments alone!
"How could a ship that's made out of metal be sunk by an iceberg? If icebergs are so tough, why don't people use them to build ships instead of metal?"
that said, a fleet of ice berg ships would be pretty sweet.
Man, I know so much random, useless shit. Mishra, it was a platform for planes to land on made out of ice and sawdust, which is tougher than concrete. Not as good as the exploding dead rats though. Pack a dead rat with explosives, and leave it near a barracks. Soldier finds rat, throws it into boiler room furnace, kaboom.
CheeseOnToast: And it was called Pykrete! I think the guy who invented it was called Pyke. It was tested in Canadian lakes, if I remember right. I'm going to make everything out of ice and sawdust from now on.

You'd be surprised how much of it really was true, although a lot of it never got past the planning stage. There was a great little series on BBC2 (I think it was), about all the weird ideas and schemes dreamt up in WWII. Exploding rats and aircraft carriers made from ice are two of the more plausible ones...
And the bat bombs. Dropping cages of bats with mini timed firebombs. They'd roost in attics and barns of the target area, then after 12 hours they'd catch fire.
