Will other nations mock U.S. by offering paltry aid-as Bush did(tsunami)?

1. Why should any nation offer anything???

If we have enough to throw away a billion (is it a week or a month?) on Iraq, how could we have the nerve to be asking for help from anyone else?

[gratuitous]

4. It's a billion a week in Iraq

And more than a billion a day on defense.

However, if there's a disaster of tsunami proportions in New Orleans, the other nations of the world will do the right thing, and if the Bush administration had any shame at all it would be ashamed.

8. the bush administration and their supporters

are shameless.

2. With as much money as we are throwing down the rabbit hole in Iraq

Why would any country give us any aide at all?
It's like giving money to a crack addict and expecting them to buy groceries---it's not going to happen. They are going to buy crack.
You give the USA money--they are going to funnel it to Halliburton.
To think anything else means you are seriously delusioned.

3. How dare you dis the 250m?

Some Halliburton exec had to skip lunch for a week so we could choke it out.
