why not just cut out the middleman (US) and let the Chinese help?
Yeah, my first thought too ... WTH is China?
Or maybe it's time for those great socialist successes like Cuba or Venezuela to take the lead.

Why can’t the super-rich Saudis and the Emirates take care of their fellow Muslims instead of the West that they are trying to destroy?
What are they doing with all their wealth besides building tall, useless towers? Perhaps Dubai can build an indoor ski resort for the Somali refugees to cool off.

We could use that cash at home. Let the muslime oil rich folks feed their mess over there. And let those honorable
local pirates spread some cash around. Just stop throwing money around like it’s free.

Since we have to borrow money from China to give to the Somalis, why not just cut out the middleman (US) and let the Chinese help?
Couldn't agree more.

***$100 million in new famine aid. ****
Sounds like a lot whenyou are paying for it but when you realize that it is a drop in the bucket compared to the Pigford settlement it is not as bad.

Interesting they choose now to announce this, as the markets tank due to spending. They are idiots or organized wreckers.

That explains why GMA is currently doing a special report on this with one of their people on the ground at the refugee camp in Kenya. It hinted at how awful we are for pulling back aid due to the blackhawk downing in Mogadishu.
To: jmax
Better question.....who gets the $$? and how much of the $100 mil actually will get to the starving masses? Not much, methinks......

Amen to that one!!! I feel horrible for those people, but, we can’t keep doing this. We don’t have the money anymore. And besides we all know that most of that money will never make it to where it was needed. Most of it will go to line there leaders, police and military pockets.

We are broke. A $100 million here and there, next thing, we are ringing up a trillion in added debt !

Maybe John Couger Mellonhead , Neil Young and Willie Nelson can have a Farm Aid concert for Somalia.
Matt Damon can MC and Angelina Jolie can adopt all their kids.

Save the somalian children so they can grow up and be pirates. Let the somalian pirates give their loot to those who need it. Of course they won’t they want to live like mugabee..let the “little ones” starve, their motto, not mine.

Do our selfserving elected REALLY believe these starving children will get the money? I think not.
