MOSCOW, August 30 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is ready to assist the United States in dealing with the damage caused by hurricane Katrina, which has taken 68 lives so far and left behind a tremendous amount of devastation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a message to U.S. President George Bush Tuesday.

"Russia deeply sympathizes with Americans, who faced a disaster of such a colossal scale, and is ready to offer necessary assistance," Putin said.

1. Maybe Putin can come over

and help run the country, cause his friend George is AWOL again? We need a President who takes life seriously at the moment.

2. Putin tried, but got a "mail box full" recording. Bush hasn't checked

his messages for weeks.

4. Mr.bush doesn't know how to check his mailbox

can't figure out how to open it and check for letters.

7. We are getting the polite offers of assistance if you notice...

They are all basically, we will help if you ask us. Not we are sending ships and supplies right now.

They want us to suck it up and come to them. This is an example of chimps* good will that he has spread through out the world.

come to us for help, we are not sending a thing.

pay back is a fucking bitch.

colossal failure*.

11. The US has always turned down offers of assistance

Republican or Democractic.

It's a "face" thing, I think.

13. Interesting to note

that two oil rich nations have offered their assistance. On edit, I should say THREE oil rich nations including Canada.

The world knows where we are weak.
