<<Speaking of the tsunami....Did the UN ever get over there with peacekeepers, or other aid?>>

I read today where the skipper of the USS Lincoln wants to toss them overboard. The are staying on the Lincoln to save hotel costs, won't pay for their meals even though the UN gave them money to buy their meals. Take up chopper flights that could be used to bring in relief. They take pictures and write reports.

Worse the Indonesian government wanted the Lincoln moved farther off shore so the people wouldn't see the Americans giving aid. They have officials on the ship urging more speed on the relief and cash aid and get the hell out of here. People wearing Osama bin Laden Tee shirts are getting the aid. The UN taking credit for our aid to people who worship bin Laden and being told we're not doing enough is giving me a case of the red ass.

Suma a beach the new SI search is good, here's the post.
