Sorry if this has already been posted....
The US sent relief supplies to the earthquake disaster area today...

Just 2 days after it occurred.

Yet it took 5 days to get supplies to NO.

<thoughtful pause>:shrug:

1. The National Guard was a few miles away from Pakistan
But across the sea from New Orleans.

4. I noticed. AND did you notice that Bush came out yesterday
offering condolences to those lost in the earthquake, but he couldn't get away from his farm except to campaign with McCain and play guitar with someone to offer the same for our citizens. And he didn't escape from his hide-away for several days during the tsunami to offer condolences and offers of aid. He must be getting some nudges from staff.

10. "36 hours to Pakistan, five days to New Orleans..."
