With all that money, the US won't need to take any from taxpayers.

Some FReepers were bitching about Kuwait on Saturday. We need to wait a week and then see who has stepped forward. This is a very generous offer.
I have no problem with the fact that some of these people "waited" so long to offer aid. It shows that they are thinking about it and have a plan instead of speaking off the cuff. 500 million thanks Kuwait.

Kuwaits GDP is 48 billion. They gave 0.5 billion. That's 1% not .000000001%.
Uhhh I was referring to W-M $287 Billion revenue. Kuwait has done right proud by themselves.
Okay, corrections noted all around: W-M gave about 0.0006% of renenue.

Wow, double wow! Thanks Kuwait! This sure put an egg on the face of that Kuwaiti official, from the other day, who said Allah brought this destruction upon New Orleans.

I hope they wire it today. They'll probably just subtract it from we owe them. :O)

Peace and Love.
Actually, I was thinking of a pure marketing stand point, WM should have used the "Shoppers you might not find everything at our stores while we move emergency supplies at no cost".

Further Kuwait isn't going to do much of anything between noon Thursday and noon Saturday, their time.

Amazing. God bless them. That comes out to a donation of over $500 per every single Kuwaiti citizen. Their generosity should be praised highly and repeatedly.

My, how generous....NOT. I see that:
"Our operational humanitarian aid group is going to meet to study the civilian and military means that France could (NOT WILL) make available from French regions and the French West Indes," said a foreign ministry spokesman, Denis Simmoneau.

Yes, from 1991 until just a few months ago, Kuwait was fuelling EVERY piece of equipment in theatre, for FREE. Gratis. No charge. While during this same time our "friends" the French were taking graft from and providing weapons to Saddam, and pissing and moaning about how oppressive the "sanctions" were, while also waist deep in the corrupt UN "Oil For Food" program. I'd trust a Kuwaitee over a Frenchman any day.

Sounds like they are going to be providing oil as well as humanitarian aid.

Don't. They're already going full out.
You want to hold someone's feet to the fire? Try Dayton-Hudson. They own Target and other stores. IIRC, they haven't done *anything*, while Walmart trucks carrying supplies, food, water, and clothing are rumbling into Louisiana, MS, AL, FL, and the relief centers in Texas.
K-Mart/Sears? Zip.
Walmart didn't even need to be asked, so knock off the Walmart bashing for a while.
