Here is an ROWPU, on edit, fixed links

[achtung_circus]

5,000 litres per hour each. Water is provided in one litre plastic bags. You hand them out 1 per person for the first while and get people rehydrated. As demand slows you hand out multiples. They are easily helicoptered where needed, along with a security detail.

5 of them form part of the Disaster Assistance Response Team

along with a hospital team, an engineering team, a communication team and a security team.

You don't want our help.

Go figger

1. Were these really REFUSED?

Who said no? I can't believe that. Those should be dropped every mile..

2. If only it were up to me, and to other compassionate Americans

We would accept all the foreign aid we could get, if it would help us save those poor people! :cry: Unfortunately the criminals in power don't seem to care. :cry:

5. I had not heard that.

Do you have a link?

4. WE want your help - could you attack us and remove our President first?

then we would be able to accept your offers of disaster assistance - thanks

6. They don't need to attack us first.

They just invite bush and his gang to a summit, and then refuse to let them out of the country ;)

7. The link is broken

What exactly can they remove from water? There are chemical toxins (gas, oil, etc.) in the NOLA waters as well as biological toxins.

10. Well...let's put it this way...

You know how Bush is pissin' all over Louisiana right now? And how his piss is especially virulent, with radioactive elements, chemical contaminants and just pure evil in it?

Well, if we could collect that piss and feed it into a ROWPU, the machine would make it drinkable.

They are guaranteed to remove 95 percent of all radiological and chemical contamination, 100 percent of the dead animals and the diseases they carry, and 102 percent of the pure evil.

8. You've got to be fucking kidding me.

That's the worst thing that I've ever seen. To refuse THAT technology? Just because, "We're America, we don't want or need your help?" My God, how much more terrible can this get?
