Now it's official, Bush refuses French help

[tocqueville]

just heard on TV :

Out out of the massive proposed help, only 20 tons of equipment, a rescue team of 4 people and a 20 persons team from the French Red Cross have been allowed in. They have been sent to... Arkansas ?

A little more British and German help have been allowed in.

the reporter noticed the DEFEANING silence in the US MSM over foreign help.

Spitting into a reaching hand won't improve the US image abroad...

Even if the Bush administration is responsible, the fallout among "common European citizens" will be "so they are TOO good, for us..."

It's sadly so...

Mean while nurses in Houston are paying medecine to teh evacuees out of their own pockets as I saw in another report...
