I donated to the redcross without permission from the whitehouse.

Should I call them up and have them hold the check until the whitehouse acknowledges and accepts my offer?

There is 2 kind of donations.
Money send to example redcross that go out themself and help
Help send directly to USA, example: oil, equitment to provide clean water, food, sanitation equitment and things like that. That is what USA is not accepting.
Basicly Bush is saying "my people do not need food and water because that might make me look weak"
At the same time people are dying because they have no food or clean water.
Offcourse Bush is still able to say he has the biggest military power and he do not need help, I'm sure someone without food and water for days feels excactly like Bush :thumbsup

he did, Holland send a mil vessel there, it was rejected in the first place, they didnt need ppl with dyke building expertise...

The fuck off hasn't accepted any money from anyone that has offered.. Funny because the rescue workers on the ground keep asking for it. I wonder if the fools that voted for this dick will wake up now?.

I'm sure the stranded people appretiate that

It has been confirmed now. Cuba was the first country to officially offer help to the US: "In less than 36 hours, 1,100 doctors with 26.4 tons of medical supplies and diagnostic resources could be ministering to people most urgently in need of assistance [in New Orleans and elsewhere]."

But Bush prefers his poor compatriots to die.

He's maintaining composure, he he he, but for me its not good to reject help no matter how rich you or a country is

Venezuela is one of the world biggest poduces of oil how much will they make once now all the oil is fuck im the gulf.

if he rejects the doctors from Cuba that would be really sad and pathetic.

Its a token bid of Venezuela to get more of the cream. We help you, buy even more of our oil

Right now I doubt any international aid, except maybe for example the oil that Germany and Venezuela is releasing to keep prices down, is going to help. Accepting other forms of intenational help now is not going to do any good. Whats needed is money to pay for reconstruction and some international technical assistance to make it happen fast.

Accepting help after a major disaster strikes your country is NOT a sign of weakness. No country on earth has the infrastructure to quickly deal with a disaster like this. Guess the administration made a decision not to accept help for whatever reasons. Im sure the people on the ground are eager to hear the reasoning behind that decision.

That's right but it's rarely our leaders doing the drowning.

The answer is "politics". It isn't supposed to make logical sense.

Don't be stupid... the USA needs their oil... Venezuela could sell it to anyone.

lol so what's the story behind that pic, anyone know? :1orglaugh

bush and his arrogance...WTF :mad:

thx for the links....I was looking for those...

i love oil.
