I’ve heard nothing of this on the news. Of course. And why hasn’t the US come through with aid for Israel? We mobilize assistance for every other nation in the world. Oh, but I forgot—it’s Israel, which everyone hates.
Come, what can we do to help? I can contribute no money, but I wonder if we could pressure Washington to put our own firefighting experts and equipment on planes and get them over there ASAP.
With an inferno like this, there is little firefighters can do. You have the ideal ingredients here, high temperature, high winds and massive dead brush and vegetation that’s fuel for the fire. It may burn down right to the sea if it can’t be stopped soon.
What they need is a couple of US type one management teams. You fight these things from the flanks, not head-on. The teams are all available, Obozo just needs to say the word.
