newsmax - shame: onLy 25 nations offer heLp to US

[sniffa]

what a fucking jizz wiper this rag is.

And almost none have offered what America has so often provided: money.

And the aid so far offered by foreign nations amounts to a drop in the bucket considering the anticipated multi-billion-dollar cost of dealing with the immediate crisis and the reconstruction to follow.

President Bush has urged Americans to send cash donations to private relief organizations rather than in-kind contributions such as clothing and food.

The same could be applied to foreign nations, most of which have been on the receiving end of massive financial assistance from then U.S. over the years..

3. It's being REFUSED

I couldn't bear to click on the fishwrap, I'm gonna hazard a guess they failed to mention, Man-Or-Monkey has said no to any foreign aid so far.

4. Russia offered search and rescue teams- No thanks!

"Russia has offered boats and aircraft. On Wednesday, Russian president Vladimir Putin offered to send a group of military special forces specializing in search and rescue to the region. That offer was rejected by the State Department.?


FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING MURDERING PRESIDENT.

Think that Bolton appointment has paid off yet?

5. If 25 nations offered to kiss Bush's ass

they'd complain that they didn't agree to kiss both cheeks. If foreign countries are offering their own expertise, their own supplies, their own engineers, their own technical teams, isn't that as valuable as money? Or maybe Bush wants to spend the relief money the way he sees fit, rewarding his corporate cronies for the rebuilding contracts.

They don't want anyone seeing how criminal their response has been..

[tocqueville]

15. there are plenty of foreign reporters in the region

I saw amazing pictures from French reporters today. For example a woman in Biloxi (white) begging the reporters for food and crying because she was so humiliated to have to scavenge garbage to eat.

I saw third world pictures of middle-class Americans cooking veggies over an open fire made of pieces of rubble...

I saw exhausted firemen holding for their noses for the stench when entering a house with 4 bodies....

I saw dead animals in ditches

so the world knows...

They're rolling around in the cash, maybe they could show a little reciprocity for all the food aid.
