So how many foreign countries have credibly offered to help?

[txaslftist]

cite me a credible source, here folks. I know its a lot, but I need someone like the NYT to refute an office puke who keeps saying, "We help them when they need it, but do they offer to help us?"

1. Aid offers pour in from around the globe

Offers have been received from Russia, Japan, Canada, France, Honduras, Germany, Venezuela, Jamaica, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, China, South Korea, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, NATO and the Organization of American States, the spokesman said.

Add to that the UN and the EU.

3. Thank you very much!

Almost made me cry, but thank you.

2. Will Secretary Rice suffice?

4. France, Canada, Germany, Russia, Venezuela

Yet Condi doesn't mention them and instead lists Italy at the head of the list and Azerbaijan, of the famous Bush Coalition of the Duped.

5. Canada is used to it

We never get mentioned.

Not our help on 911 or the previous hurricanes, or New Orleans.

Not even our robot arm in space.

You'd swear to gawd this giant country was invisible.

Unless, of course, someone wants to blame us for 'terrists', and suddenly they know our name after all.

6. Actually, to be fair, she did mention Canada this time

but the fact remains all this aid was offered FOUR friggin days ago and they are only NOW matching the offers to the needs, it is despicable, imo.

10. That's a change

Maybe it was because of the nasty letter she got from Canada. :7

But I agree, Canada's stuff could have been there days ago.

7. I heard France was one of the first to offer..go figure!..n/t

9. Double wow!

8. Venezuela! Wow! Face it, the office puke is just looking for someone to

dump his anger out on. Too bad he can't figure out the right place to direct it.
