Russia, Canada, Venezuela ready to help...bet W says we don't need it

[bobbieinok]

accepting help is a no-no for bullies; it says you aren't strong

even as everyone sees there are problems, bushco will praise 'America's can do spirit, the spirit that made US the TARGET of all those who hate our freedoms'.....or similar blather

3. Take whatever they can provide

Fuck it...New Orleans should do an end run around the Feds and take whatever these countries can provide. Preferably some engineers and helicopters from Canada would be real nice.

10. It's like Stalin ...

You don't want any "foreign ideas" to enter your domestic population brainwashed by a propoganda machine (Faux News). Especially not in the south.

It's not a matter of pride. Take the fucking help asshole!!!!

11. What about daddie's oil buddies ???

Bush has never shyed away from taking help from Saudis and Kuwaitis when his oil businesses were going belly up. I guess thats different though. That way 'tribute', not assistance.
