The earthquake, with an estimated magnitude of 9.0, caused tsunamis believed to have killed over 22,000 in 10 countries. Speaking at the State Department DECember 27, Secretary of State Colin Powell described the disaster as “an international tragedy” and said the United States will “do everything we can to assist the nations that have been affected in dealing with this tragedy.” In Crawford, Texas, White House deputy press secretary Trent Duffy said President BUSH had been briefed earlier in the day on the situation in Asia and had sent letters of condolence to the leaders of Bangladesh, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India, Maldives and Malaysia. “The United States, at the president's direction, will be a leading partner in one of the most significant relief, rescue and recovery challenges that the world has ever known,” Duffy said. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< There is more, should you choose to actually read the article.
