Not to mention having room and board as well as his libturd larva educated in the finest prep schools, on the US TAXPAYER!

F the UN , F Powell.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

All true.

But if Powell actually said BILLIONS.....he is genuflecting to them.......I say good riddance to Powell, and can't wait till he's gone!

[hushpad]

I believe we should help, but it is really getting tiring of hearing the UN complain and moan about US.<<<<

What I'm tired of is Colin Powell "bristling", then giving in to the U. N.'s every whim . . .I'm glad he's leaving this administration.

Beat me to it!

Tell the UN, Kofi & Son, Jacques, Gerhard, and Vladimir to give up the illegal profits from the Saddam Oil for Food Program (scandal). That should buy a lot of needed supplies. After they have given every last dollar they made from starving the Iraqi people, then the US will decide how much more we are going to contribute.

agreed!

LOL!!!!

"Let the Socialist bastards take a flying leap at a rolling donut!"

We always used to say it politely as: "Take an astronautical intercourse on a rotating perforated pastry." In Other words: "Take a flying F*ck on a rolling donut."

The very nations suffering under this disaster laughed in our faces on 9-11. Many of their citizens danced in their streets.

I am sorry for them, and I will pray for them, and I am even willing to help them, because that is the Christian response.

The Islamic response is to dance in the streets with jubilation.

[Chi-townChief]

Yeah - you sure would like to see something like:

Powell added: "How about if I just come over there and kick your ass."

[jimfrommaine]

Only when the UN or EU steps up to stop the genocide in Africa should the United States pay them lip service. We're a great people, the UN is filled with cowards, terrorists and socialists. We are we even associating ourselves with this worthless bunch?

[cyborg]

He needs to be Zell Miller-fied. Powell is too calm IMHO.

[hineybona]

When the hell are we going to learn the UN is a totally USLESS organization and we need to get the HELL OUT OF IT ..US hating bastards they are.I will personally donate my time to go over there and tear that building down .

[Doogle]

..typically liberal's spin.
The INITIAL response...blah blah blah....
These idiots will always try to spin ANYTHING.

The U.S. is up to $35 million now which I don't have a problem with since this was so devastating. However, I suspect the U.N.'s tiff is that not enough of that money is going to them to get skimmed and instead going directly to the Red Cross and the countries involved.
