Writing a response to a letter in today's newspaper. I've checked the homepage where I thought I saw it, unless I'm missing it. TIA if anyone has the link handy!

1. Here is the MNSBC link

Still, Bush told ABC-TV: “I’m not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn’t asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will send cash dollars. But this country’s going to rise up and take care of it.”

“You know,” he said, “we would love help, but we’re going to take care of our own business as well, and there’s no doubt in my mind we’ll succeed. And there’s no doubt in my mind, as I sit here talking to you, that New Orleans is going to rise up again as a great city.”

4. This country is going to rise up. It damn well better.

All Americans need to step up and change the tragic direction this country has taken. We need to rise up and take our country back from the criminal elements that are so pathetically "in charge".

I'm looking for some leadership. And I want to see it on the opinion programs and I want to read about it in the newspapers and in the magazines. I want it on the radio. I want some leadership!

It's the leadership, stupid.

That last comment is only for the terminally clueless.

3. Acually Scott McClellan said that many nations offered

aid but we are refusing it a couple of days ago. You can probably find it here http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/09/20040915-3.html
