Bush begging for international aid
Why not stop underwriting Halliburton's ongoing theft progran, and the friggin war and divert some fraction of your f*ing war budget to helping people. Let me understand this, our best response is to move people from one sports arena to another? This is our best option for housing and feeding???

1. Other nations and leaders were offering it back on Monday
while bush ate cake, played guitar and went to a fund raiser. Maybe if the bastard answered the phone now and then he would know about it. Oh, but that phone in the photo wasn't even plugged in, was it.

Chavez offered humanitairan aid and fuel back on MONDAY, while bush was eating cake.

People were drowning back on Monday, while bush was eating cake.

5. Too bad he didn't choke on that cake, like I choke on his empty
words and promises. Elitist egotist POS! :argh:

3. He is not begging for aid, he is begging for 'cash money', big difference
Many countries have offered assistance in the form of supplies and people but bush just wants 'cash money', sadly, it figures. Heaven forbid he should ask this 'haves and have mores' for 'cash money'.

7. His flunkies don't need to steal material assistance, they like cash.
It's easier to carry.

4. Not quite correct. Bush begging for international CASH
He doesn't want their help, just money. Said it on GMA interview this morning.

6. there is no reason...none
that this situation should wait another day to get resolved..people will die just waiting for water to drink..there is no reason we could not have had that whole city of people evacuated by now...the resources are available to do it..just not being done.
