After your post, I suspect I know who the ingrate truly is.

Looks like we've got some friends in the Middle East after all. Of course you could say this $500 million is a rebate from Iraq 1.

Thank you, Kuwait!

I would never kiss the arabs' asses, as you do.

[tubebender]

Should I send them my Bank Account number or just wait until it arrives in my mail box?

Thanks Kuwait and Qatar!!!

[Salvation]

Wow! Thank you, Kuwait!

interesting the first serious donations come from the Middle East and not all our allies in Europe

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Allright!

Our real friends in the world are speaking loudly. I for one appreciate the wonderful donation from both Kuwait and Qutar. It is in fact amazing.

The real ass has spoken, and it has spouted pure BS.

Kuwait Donates $500 Million For Hurricane Relief

The French foreign ministry offered eight aircraft and two ships, with 600 tents and 1,000 camp beds...

600 tents and 1,000 cots. LOL!

Kuwait.

Wow I'm impressed that works out to less than .000000001% of their annual revenue. May as well keep the cheesy money, folks are broke down there so if they have any money, they'll have to go to WM to make it last. As Wally World in a private company, they're free to donate or not. But as a Southern base company, one would think they'd step up to the plate with a bit more vigor?

That $17M is just a running total. They are continuing to donate money, trucks, personnel, anything they can.

Unlike some other companies, they aren't blowing their own horn about it and holding pressers to trumpet it. They're simply quietly and quickly doing what needs to be done.

You are prolly correct, they do have the finest logistics system in the entire world. Just like to hold their feet to the fire. :^)

Wrong.

Kuwaits GDP is 48 billion. They gave 0.5 billion. That's 1% not .000000001%.

You should change your screen name from "investigateworld" to "justsayanything".

[investigateworld]

Uhhh I was referring to W-M $287 Billion revenue.
Kuwait has done right proud by themselves.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Wow, thank, Kuwait. They don't have to do this, so it's nice to see them stepping up to it.
