US forms quake relief coalition :wow:


The US, Australia, Japan and India have formed an international coalition to lead aid efforts after the Indian Ocean sea surges, the US president has said.

((note- the BBS can't even bring themselves to use the phrase President X anymore! - in this entire article it's president with a miniscule p or Mr Bush or nothing at all!))

"We will stand with them as they start to rebuild their communities," George W Bush announced at his ranch in Texas.

The US has already pledged $35m and sent its navy to help the aid effort.

Mr Bush backed calls for a tsunami alert system after what he called a "terrible disaster" and predicted other countries would join the "core group".

((*&^* Powell))"I would expect that this core would expand... to include the whole international community," he added.

((_(*& Bush)) "These past few days have brought loss and grief to the world that is beyond our comprehension," he added.

"Together the world will cope with their loss. We will prevail over this destruction," Mr Bush said.

6. For the millionth time, I hate to say this my Yankee cousins...

..but your president is a fucking world-class retard.

By the way, this link is a dupe (from earlier today), but that's just fine. People just getting off work in the US MUST SEE THIS.

Is there not some sort of impeachment clause for a "severely defective mouth/jaw/tongue/brain"?

[Tinoire]

8. Well. no offense taken

we were screaming he was a retard before his Mafia cronies stole the election.

A retard with animal cunning that's putting us to shame and blowing up the world at the same time.

No there is no such real clause. He has enough bi-paritisan support from our thoroughly corrupt government to get away with it. How do you think he got this far?

Oh the pain! The embarrassment! We can't tell you enough how sorry, angry and ashamed we are...

7. I'm glad that I am not the only one who hates *

9. Maybe the yellow rogue from texas

was pissed of because the french already coordinate the efforts in Sri Lanka.
Do you really belive he would do anything beside a photo op.


Or did he simply have another "Pet goat moment"

15. I am so humiliated to have the world know this is the leader of my country

[Solly Mack]

10. He will take credit for creating a "core" group to "oversee" relief aid

nevermind it took him days just to respond in a manner befitting a <cough> "leader"...and then only after the world started asking "where's america?"

[karlrschneider]

12. It took him that long to find "tsunami" in the dictionary...he was looking

under "S"...

[Solly Mack]

13. You know, I would laugh...but...

that's probably true.

[matt bors]

11. you might call it the mother of all coalitions

oh, that Rumsfeld...always good for a laugh....or some torture...

[arcos]

14. omg..."We will prevail over this destruction"...

:wow:

[CatholicEdHead]

16. Same old rethoric

They are so war-centered they cannot shift their rethoric. And/or this foreshadows future campaigns.

I expect this to be similar to the AIDS decleration in the SOTU a couple years ago. Talk the talk, but do not fund the walk.
