or from 9/11?
Many many times, images have been posted from 9-11.
Images that your masters in the MSM left out. (You know people jumping out of the towers to escape the fires.)
You are a troll looking to blame this tragedy on the US.
It's the same old song and dance from you guys.
Anything to blame the US.
BTW Terry how much money have you sent? Zero I bet.
You don't want to spent your weed money this week.
Your a joke...
A bad one at that...

He did not say exactly when the ships would arrive. A U.S. defence department official in Jakarta confirmed the carrier fleet was on its way.
SHIPS CAN PRODUCE FRESH WATER
Conway also said the USS Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group of seven vessels, which had been in Guam -- in the Pacific Ocean -- had been diverted to the Bay of Bengal, where it would arrive before Jan. 7.
"It has seven ships associated with the strike group (and) carries 25 helicopters, which will be valuable to us again in disaster relief," he said.
He said five other ships of the squadron located in Guam were moving toward the disaster-hit areas of southern Asia.
"These five ships have fresh-water-producing capability. Each ship can produce 90,000 gallons of fresh water a day, and of course that'll be extremely valuable as we have a number of requests already for fresh-water supply," Conway said.

This of course will not be included in the UN total of aid by the US.
think it's very important for Americans who want to give to provide cash to organizations that will be able to focus resources and assets to meet specific needs. In other words, a lot of times Americans, in their desire to help, will send blankets or clothes. That may be necessary, but to me it makes more sense to send cash to organizations that could then use that cash to make sure we match resources with specific needs on the ground. There are many NGOs now involved that understand what is specifically needed to meet the needs of these countries."

In addition to the information in your post, I counted 44 US relief organizations.....

Earth to Planet Terry.
John Kerry lost, the sun rose today, there are evil people in the world, there are disasters that just happen, and the mainstream American people do NOT subscribe to liberal 'progressive' thinking.
A tsunami is a natural occurence that is not avoidable or predictable.
You merely warn people and pray that they get the heck out of the way quick enough.
9/11 was an act of violence by a bunch of muslims that senselessly killed 3000 plus people in a matter of seconds.
Do you see the contrast here, or do I have to spell it out for you?
You liberals look at a problem and measure your compassion by the amount of money allocated to fix it.
There is no consideration of graft, fraud, corruption, managment fees, etc. that will be taken from international relief funds given to Indian Ocean governments.
$35,000,000 is just the beginning. As the depth of need is known there will be more aid. We are sending portions of our Naval fleet to assist. Do you not consider the daily cost of maintaining that fleet as having any contribution value?
