Tsunami: How many Americans died?

[grasswire]

Or are presumed dead? I'm not hearing much about this, considering the fact that it must rival the number dead in 9-11.

1. I heard 17

I'm sure it's probably higher though

2. You might have to ask another nation for that information.

Sounds like our American embassy didn't think crisis intervention was part of the job.

3. I searched for this a week ago at the State Dept site

They are not releasing any info. This was at the same time we were hearing that 2000 were reported missing.

still no info there:

6. WOW ! There's a WHOLE PAGE on the colin/jeb dog & pony show

but what do they care about DEAD AMERICANS???

don't you understand: the PRIORITY is photo-ops for the JEB08-selection campaign

4. I've heard that it's roughly 40-60, but no final count

There are still about 400 "missing" Americans. That number keeps going down each day, seems odd but there it is.

5. I read 400+ missing but less than 20 confirmed dead

7. And why are we not hearing the number?

We are finially getting to the point where it is not exclusive 24/7 repeat of tsunami..over and over..but we still dont know the number of Americans missing or dead. I have not heard the question even addressed on tv news that i can get here in mexico..which is CNN World.

8. I heard 5,000 - many more than on 911. It's why W had to be

intrerrupted from clearing Brush and the ex-presidents were pulled from mothballs (I have a hard time forgiving Clinton that one)
The freepers had to pull down their Godhatesweeden website - as it seems he hates Murikans moore.
