Yes, it's a good start. Nice to see the photos of the military help arriving and President Bush comforting those girls. He is a VERY good man but the liberal media and politicians are trying to crucify him. Luckily the Republican-led congress can deflect their attempts and the President is not up for re-election anyway. I thank God there is no President Gore or Kerry in this situation.
Here's some more about the international oil help:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Twenty-six countries in an international energy consortium will release more than 60 million barrels of crude oil and gasoline to relieve the energy crunch caused by Hurricane Katrina in the United States.
As part of that effort, the Bush administration will release 30 million barrels of crude oil from U.S. reserves.
Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman called this an initial response, part of what he called an "aggressive" federal response to the hurricane disaster. The fuel being released by the Paris-based International Energy Agency will be in the form of both crude oil and gasoline and will be released over the coming month.
The reserves will amount to about 2 million barrels a day coming into U.S. markets.
