> if it becomes necessary to deal with the wetbacks there will have to be a totally new administration. I refer, once again, to the indifference shown by the present administration to the human tragedy after Katrina. Do you really think they give a damn about a few wetbacks? rawstory.com >>Report details US refusals of foreign aid after Katrina Nick Juliano A new report reveals the US government turned down offers of help from across the globe in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, telling one diplomat "human assistance of any kind is not on our priorities list." The report from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington relies on a review of 25,000 documents obtained from the State Department. The report reveals the US was interested mostly in cash assistance and materials, rather than direct aid from foreign relief workers and doctors, after Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast in 2005. "A review of the State Department documents reveals distressing ineptitude," CREW's executive director Melanie Sloan said in a prepared statement. "Countries were trying to donate desperately needed goods and services, but as a result of bureaucratic bungling and indifference, those most in need of these generous offers and of aid never received it." Offers to help came from 145 countries and 12 international organizations. The US did accept help from its top allies around the globe, but CREW's report shows it left unclaimed hundreds of thousands of prepared meals, water pumps, doctors and medicine. Many of the offers were turned down because of a strict adherence to bureaucratic regulations, the report reveals. For example, questions about medical licensing prevented foreign-trained doctors from helping in the Gulf Coast. <<

Searley Snnott, you posted: ===> Don't forget that Bush is primarily Israel's man and he is there do do what the Zionists (Christian and Jewish) want. <=== There are not only countless millions of Christians that support Israel, but the great majority of Americans support civilized democratic Israel. You feel that President Bush supports Israel just because of Christian and Jewish Zionist support, and not because of the overwhelming support for Israel from most Americans? Most Americans realize that Israel is a civilized Democracy, where the rule of law exists, and that many great medical and scientific discoveries have been developed in Israel, that benefit the entire world. Most of the enemies of Israel are malcontents, or the confused, or radicals, who side with brutal, deranged Islamic terrorists, or other fascist states like North Korea. Either you side with civilized families, like those in Israel and the US, or you side with the barbarians, like those who enslave and indoctrinate the poor unfortunate masses in Iran, North Korea, Gaza, West Bank, Cuba, etc.
