My letter to the NYT

[tocqueville]

"Why aren't you reporting the MASSIVE offer of international help that Bush refused in a first time ?

Europe and other countries are on stand by for the green light. Even NATO offered help.

If that green light had flashed France had flown substantial rescue from the carribeans 24 hours ago.

I cannot find that information on any MSM website, yours, WP, CNN etc

but the BLOGOSPHERE is WELL AWARE of the fact, because people read international media or listen to the BBC.


I find truly amazing that you cannot make the American people aware of that...

is it misplaced pride or what ?"
