The New York Times sets the record straight ...

Who else but a liberal would quote the NY Times as a reliable source?

As a "reality based" person, truth matters to me

No it doesn't, only YOUR version of the truth matters. Anything contradicting that truth is simply disregarded or hand waved away. Sure, we here are prone to do that sort of thing too, hey, its the way it works, but dont kid yourself, you are a rat, you just choose to follow a different piper.

Sometimes it helps the country more if you use the people and supplies that are in the country.

Victims of the earthquake in Bam, Iran, a year ago are still living in tents because aid, including ours, has not materialized in the amounts pledged.

Hey, we signed over the check to the Mullahs running the government in Tehran. Just because the money was last seen spilling across the roulette tables in Monte Carlo doesn't mean it's our fault it never got to the tent people. Ask your neighborhood Mullah where the money went.

Here's another of his threads:

I think he's trying to tell us something...

Florida and our Gulf Coast suffered through some devastating hurricanes this past year. We've also seen our share of floods, tornadoes, fires, and the like. What kind of financial aid did we receive from foreign countries?

Right, that has worked out real well in the past. If we send taxpayer money over there I want it spent the same way we would spend it here. I am sick and tired of countries that have tremendous nattural resources and unlimited labor pools that can't get into the 19th century much less the 21st and then demand that those that have bail the out..

Hey Butt-Dart.

Are you going to personally pay the payroll for the 7th Fleet that is in the Indian Ocean and the Aircrews that are going to drop food and supplies?

You going to count the 5,000 sailors on the Enterprise?
We spent more than was announced before it was announced asswipe.

The ONLY way that the world will realize what they have is by NOT HAVING IT! You don't realize what you had until you lose it as the saying goes!

Therefore the US should CUT ALL FOREIGN AID COMPLETELY OFF!! Then they will know what they DON"T HAVE. We could use the money here at home while we rethink the amount and to whom our generosity should go to.

I guess none of these people realize the President can only volunteer so much before getting it approved by congress -- who happens to be on vacation right now. As commander in chief he was able to send the military to help... and he did -- and I heard there is a slush fund he can spend without approval -- but over a certain amount has to have approval... they are complaining about the money he got for Florida -- BUT he had congress approve those billions and no one helped us out but the USA -- in other words we had to help ourself -- I didn't hear a word from the UN except this was our fault because of Global Warming.

And this liberal thinks the US should be funding the world -- one world, utopian fool -- should have been on the Clinton advisory board....such as it was. God help us.

"But when put into perspective, it's a shameful pittance."

So you get to decide how much to donate, even knowing that we probably will give more as a nation, and the donations from private citizens are still coming?

The spirit of charity is now how much you give, but the act of giving itself.

Go watch fuhba'.

He/She did comment

COMMENT: This is what we should be hearing from all our media. As a "reality based" person, truth matters to me. I'd love to believe that the $35 million we're giving is a huge and generous sum, as Fox News would have me think. But when put into perspective, it's a shameful pittance. Tell me the truth. I can handle it. I just wish the media and George W. Bush could.
