| Can someone explain to me why we aren't accepting foreign aid? |
|
Are the French still on standby with their offers? Canada? The other, what, 19 countries?

| 1. Not just foreign aid but local as well, ask Chicago Mayor |
|
I though I heard Condliesalot say that they are accepting aid but I keep reading they have not. Same with the Local Situation except for Texas.

| 12. I think she said they "had refused no offers", but it was pointed out |
|
that they had "accepted" none either.

Fumbled the ball when first asked about receiving foreign aid (We don't expect it, didn't ask, don't need) the US is in fact accepting offers: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=foreign+aid+Katrina&btnG=Search+News |

Russia and Mexico have a lot of experience in dealing with earthquake damage.

| 9. I think we're taking gasoline help from foreign countries. Besides, if |
|
foreigners came in here to help, they would tell the truth to their home news media and it might leak back. Like the photo op yesterday. Seems even the food handout centers that were in the * stroll were fake. The Germans reported that they were put up before the filming started and taken down when the photo op was over.

Don't want to tarnish our image.
That's so much more important than saving lives.
