Bush Rejects Help from Nations -- How Stupid Is This? VERY |
|
Words escape me:
------------------ http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9161198/ Updated: 4:17 p.m. ET Sept. 1, 2005 WASHINGTON - In a dramatic turnabout, the United States is now on the receiving end of help from around the world as some two dozen countries offer post-hurricane assistance.

However, in Moscow, a Russian official said the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency had rejected a Russian offer to dispatch rescue teams and other aid.

Offers have been received from Russia, Japan, Canada, France, Honduras, Germany, Venezuela, Jamaica, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, China, South Korea, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, NATO and the Organization of American States, the spokesman said.

Still, Bush told ABC-TV: “I’m not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn’t asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will send cash dollars. But this country’s going to rise up and take care of it.”
“You know,” he said, “we would love help, but we’re going to take care of our own business as well, and there’s no doubt in my mind we’ll succeed. And there’s no doubt in my mind, as I sit here talking to you, that New Orleans is going to rise up again as a great city.”

5. Look at all those countries.. |
|
They want to help now. This is insane.
I'm watching Scarborough and David Shuster and they're trashing the Feds and both states and local governments. Just had a local on saing, "it's a catastrophe, not a disaster. We're being treated like a third world country."
IMPEACHMENT!

6. Gump would have fed the people, simple solutions. Hungy=food. |

Wow, Bush has made some DUers pine for Nixon, Ford, and even Reagan. Now he's made Forest Gump look like a good leader. What an accomplishment.
