Rice we have received offers of help and we are now in the

[nadinbrzezinski]

process of matching it to the needs on the ground...

Translation, we are accepting the help from the world

7. no offers have been accepted

same old bullshit

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. that is not what she said, she said

we are in the process of matching it, as per CNN press conference... look the tune has changed... it took time, but keep the pressure on

[Spazito]

12. Why did it take 4 friggin days to begin to MATCH the aid offers?

Why did it take 4 friggin days to even say other countries had offered help?

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. One word: POLITICS

there are two more you may want to add to the dictionary

National PRIDE

[sonicx]

13. that means....

no offers have been accepted. That is what i want NOW. People are dying. Enough paper work and bullshit.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Nah once you get tot he point of matching them

you have officially accepted them... now matching them to the needs on the ground is actually pretty standard.. you don't want all your teams in one place, but spread around.

Taht said, call the ARC and demand they call Geneva... if they want to play gamse and the ARC calls Geneva, you will pull the rug from under them

8. ok, give her credit

this is a win for the State department. the White House, categorically said no, but someone talked them down, it's interesting.

[Avalux]

10. No - it's like this.

Now that shrub has gone in with the calvary and done his photo ops, it's OK for them to accept aid from other places.

Can you imagine if other countries had come in and provided relief before He got there?

It was all staged around his "miraculous appearance" today.

[Penndems]

11. Yeah, she waits until her "husband" touches down and

starts his photo op tour to crawl out of the woodwork and give a press conference on our response to foreign aid. Wonder if she's wearing her new shoes.

I repeat: That callous BITCH.
