Mexico's Vicente "Sly" Fox offerred the assistance of 2 million workers per year to help with the cleanup efforts,
"to remain indefinitely, in case any more disasters might strike within the next century."

I really, really don't like Muslims. What do any of them do for the world? And to think what we did after the tsunami. It makes me sick. I will never give to anything that will help Muslims ever again.

The more I hear from these sorry assed camel jocky's the more I think that the Idea of a "Hurricane Abomba" bitch slapping their cat-litter box country is in order.

[cripplecreek]

LOL that two million is just the reserve force to back up the estimated 18 to 25 million already here.

[Gondring]

Yeah, I know.

I have no problem with the legal ones. I have a problem with the country blocking people who want to come legally, yet winking at illegal invasions.

China's President Hu Jintao expressed his "belief that that the American people will definitely overcome the natural disaster and rebuild their beautiful homeland."

"Oh, and be sure to shop at Wal-Mart."

[knak]

I'm just wondering , did America ever state to the world we were invincible to natural disaster? That's what the article makes it sound like.

I just saw the saddest thing...people in NO are begging for help, they were chanting "help, help help" and they are dying and dehyrdating...why are we not at least dropping food and at least water to them like we did to those in other countries needing food and water??? Why are they allowing our people to suffer this way???...won't it be a week tomorrow that this all happened??????????? I just don't understand and it is not right!

With "God's help," they declared, oil prices would hit $100 a barrel this year.

Unless Allah doesn't understand economics, it ain't gonna happen. Sorry, Jihadis.

I am quite pleased to hear the Swiss response more than any other. They are just recovering from a disastrous flood themselves. Thank you for posting this.

[Crazieman]

As a bonus, the workers have experience wading in water

[roses of sharon]

Bush is trying to KILL them ON PURPSOSE, haven't you heard?

[daybreakcoming]

No. It will be a week Sunday night. Today is Thursday.
I am sure they would like to drop supplies but they must be concerned at the rioting that would take place over it. Myself, I would like to see the governor and mayor standing out there handing it out personally.

[Gondring]

Because they weren't shooting back at the rescuers...unlike NO.

The truth is that anything over $70/bbl makes drawing oil from shale more cost effective. It actually hurts the muslim bastards.

In the end.. this should be a lesson to Americans. When a natural disaster happens, America and its citizens ship aid, food, comfort, prayers and money to help with recovery. When America gets hit with a natural disaster, no real help from other countries is ever sent.

I would propose Americans should remember this and not be so gullible when the next 'natural disaster' happens in some foreign country. I would suggest citizens not send any donations directly. Let the country request help from us, and let our government handle it directly.

Anyone ever wonder about the billions of dollars sent to the countries of the tsunami devastion? Yes, there were 100's of thousands killed... but they have no need of relief funds. Who tracked those billions and what has been produced with it? Answer: Noone and hardly nothing has been done.

[johnb838]

We are getting calls from the Swiss public looking to express their condolences, (and) people are also asking for an account number where they can make donations,"

That's pretty funny, when you think about it... here, you can use my swiss bank account number: it's 0764...

[johnb838]

When I and a lot of other people realized that our Navy was going to spearhead recovery efforts and our government was going to GIVE THEM billions, no strings attached, I said the hell with them. I didn't give a dime over what I'd already had taken from me in taxes.

This is different. These are my brothers and sisters, these are my neighbors, and for some reason, they're being left to bake in the hot southern sun. I truly, truly don't understand what is happening here.
