offers from other countries

Scottie just said we have received MANY offers from other countries and that we are NOT asking for assistance from other countries at this time.

so, Fox can shove it, once again. You'd think the White House would call its propaganda machine and tell them they are wrong. But then, that would require honesty in propaganda. Doesn't happen.

He wants the world to send 'cash money' so he doesn't have to ask his 'haves and have mores' for any sacrifice, unbelievable!

Bush says send cash.

says screw real assistance, just send 'cash money' so we can continue to keep the rich richer and not be inconvenienced with this 'incident'.

It is beyond despicable, imo.

Countries had planes standing by, planes full of supplies and people expert in their fields and bush says, no thanks, send 'cash money' instead. I am SURE you don't find that acceptable, do you?

He has rejected offers from other countries - saying we can deal with it - even though we obviously are not.

and you're right - the media is NOT covering it.

These mobile units can pump out thousands of gallons of potable water every day. We're waiting for the word to send them.

who knows better than they do? We apparently said no?

they have offered to send that along with other help....They were rebuffed by Bushies....What they are doing is criminal.

On tonight's news, CTV (Canadian TV) said that support was offered from Canada. Planes are ready to load with food and medical supplies and a system called "DART" which can provide fresh water and medical supplies is standing by. Department of Homeland Security as well as other U.S. agencies were contacted by the Canadian government requesting permission to provide help. Despite this contact, Canada has not been allowed to fly supplies and personnel to the areas hit by Katrina. So, everything here is grounded. Prime Minister Paul Martin is reportedly trying to speak to President Bush tonight or tomorrow to ask him why the U.S. federal government will not allow aid from Canada into Louisiana and Mississippi. That said, the Canadian Red Cross is reportedly allowed into the area.

waiting for an update on French TV soon

they refused help, out of an inflated sense of pride, and a two year olds mantra "I can do it by myself!"


we all know how that turned out, and the second time a sub went down, they took every offer for help that came in.

our government, and why anyone is surprised by this, does not learn from others or their own mistakes.

the world? :shrug:
