A senior American official has accused European countries of not providing their share of food aid to Afghanistan.

The State Department official in charge of refugee affairs, Gene Dewey, said European governments have provided some humanitarian aid to Afghanistan through non-governmental organisations, but the amount was insufficient.

Mr Dewey warned that food shortages could force large numbers of resettled Afghans to return to Pakistan.

A European Union spokesman, Wilfried Schneider, rejected the allegations, calling them unfair.

I doubt they are listening, because they are just feasting on another banquet in Johannesburg.

Oh gosh, and then he hit our guy with his hankie...

[eureka!]

The Euroweenies sure don't like their own medicine. What a bunch of twits...

ROTFLMCO! I love this administration. We've spent 10 years listening to the euroweenies tell us that WE'RE not giving enough, and now we have this! I've got to tell you, it just brings a smile to my face.

LOL. Thanks for the ping, and the smile:-)

It's indeed very funny to see just how European tactics are used on them for a change.

"It's indeed very funny to see just how European tactics are used on them for a change."

I do hope there is more to follow, like: "W is announcing a conference to determine the full extent of the EU's contribution to the global warming crisis and the destruction of the rain forests. This follows last month's conference on the EU's responsibility for, and lack of inaction and contributions to address, the crisis of poverty in America's inner cities" Hehehehe...

That would really get to them!
