The Washington Time ^

The Bush administration yesterday pledged $15 million to Asian nations hit by a tsunami that has killed more than 22,500 people, although the United Nations' humanitarian-aid chief called the donation "stingy."

"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," said White House deputy press secretary Trent Duffy.

Screw em all

Let the Chinese Indians and Europeans dig into their wallets and leave us alone

WE been sugar daddy to the world too damn long and all we get in return is hate

[Muzzle_em]

Why doesn't the UN pony up some of that "oil for food" BILLIONS?!!! That ought to help the victims.

What a bunch of nitwits.

[TBall]

I'm sure a lot of Freepers would like to help out. I wonder which charity would be the best to give to?

[t-1000]

Seeing the UN is mostly controlled by terrorists...

We need to tell the UN, that we will match Al Qaeda dollar for dollar for aid.

[HankReardon]

Where are the 10's of billions of $ that UN officials, the German government and German companies, the French government and French companies, The Russian government and Russian companies, the Chinese government and Chinese companies illegally recieved in bribe contracts from Saddam Hussein and from selling Iraq weapons that are now killing American troops. Please, President Bush, tell them all to go to hell!

Have they stuffed a sock in this guy's mouth yet?

[azhenfud]

IOW, $15 million is not enough to properly skim under-table kick-backs from.

He will most likely get an award for saying it from the UN or Yerp.

I agree... where was the UN on 9-11. I didn't see any other country help us out with Hurricane's or other disasters.

[newfrpr04]

I think we need to start worrying about our own first... and give to our local church charties that we know will go to help other countries. The politics of the International Red Cross,UN and others abuse donations. US needs to stop funding every crisis around the world and fix our country then.... we can help others. All we ever get is thanks for nothing... or called stingy.

I haven't heard a damn thing agout Iranian or Saudi Relief plans. How about France, Germany and Russia what is their donation?

Get US out of the UN cesspool.

Well sorta seems like the difference between being gay and
being a male homosexual to me.But DO agree there is a
decidedly Socialist agenda here.

sight for sore eyes. Most often I am repulsed by such
sophomoric displays --but this proves the exception,and
expresses my sentiments too bad it aint framed in the
Peoples House for all to see.

[StonyBurk]

asked the WHiteHOuse today if it will roll over,yet again,
and do the bidding of that inept/ Corrupt institution.
DO worry about the internalized State Dept. Treason of the 60s' Document 7277 Living at Peace in a World Without War The vast bulk of that Treason has already been acted upon and my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
