To hell with them. They've made their own beds now let them lie in them.

U.S. Prepares 'Big-Time' Response To Famine - Impact of African crisis could be felt at White House

I'm with you, give us back OUR MONEY

[Born in a Rage]

But U.S. officials said they already are responding, even in Zimbabwe, despite their unhappiness with Mugabe.

This makes me sick. It's our money -- it should go to our people, not some third world AIDS ridden, uncivilized, prejudiced country. Let 'em starve...maybe they will stop all of their BS and learn to get food on their own.

[monkeywrench]

I guess the ones that created this mess through murder and theft will have to go, though, right?

[Squawk 8888]

Here we go again. It ain't drought that's starving them, it's their leaders who are trashing the economy. It's hardly a coincidence that the crisis is centred in Mugabe's fiefdom.

[blackdog]

So what good would money do in a continent that has no food? Why not send food instead of money. Keep the cash in plain sight. African nations have no interest whatsoever in feeding their peasantry.Common People are a commodity they gladly piss away. The current Marxist goal is to walk that fine line that keeps aide flowing(cash)and to cull the herd, while appearing to be concerned internationally.

In Africa people are an expense, not an asset. One does not insure an expense.

[Destructor]

So begins the endless cycle to artifically sustaining an ignorant African population that is incapable of supporting itself. I'm so looking forward to the drain of badly needed funds from our country just to satisfy the "humanitarian" lust of the bleeding heart Liberals. Watch them repay our kindness by denouncing us, and voting against us in the U.N. general assembly! Another misuse of Tax dollars!!

[WhiteGuy]

This makes me sick. It's our money -- it should go to our people,

It should be kept by those who earn it.

But U.S. officials said they already are responding, even in Zimbabwe, despite their unhappiness with Mugabe.

Maybe they can call it the "Free Sandwiches for Murderous Dictators" program.

I expected no less from Bush.

[Billy_bob_bob]

It is OUTRAGEOUS that ANY elected official is considering sending ONE PENNY of OUR TAX DOLLARS to aid these MURDEROUS ROBBING RAPING BASTARDS! They have "ethnically cleansed" all of the "evil white farmers" from their land, and now they will harvest starvation, misery and sorrow. Let them starve, let them suffer, let them die. I won't shed a tear. Any elected official who proposes sending MY TAX DOLLARS to help these EVIL THUGS is a TRAITOR!

[WhiteGuy]

just to satisfy the "humanitarian" lust of the bleeding heart Liberals.

you'd be talking about your president......

[JMS]

The obvious solution is the re-colonization of Africa. Depose the dictators!

[Born in a Rage]

It should be kept by those who earn it.

Right. Our people who earned it, but also to help the needy here in our own country...I'm not talking about fedgov handouts here - but there is a place for helping the poor get on their feet, educating (not indoctrinating) people, providing services for the incapacitated and elderly....etc.

You tell 'em Billy_bob_bob!!! How can I find out what has been sent over there already? Do you know if there is a way to look it up on Thomas or something...I'm curious to know.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials are scrambling to cope with what could become the worst humanitarian crisis since President Bush took office: a potentially catastrophic famine in drought-stricken southern Africa that threatens 5 million people with starvation. ''What's unfolding in southern Africa is very big,'' Roger Winter, the assistant administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development's humanitarian assistance bureau, said in an interview Tuesday.

''Even though we don't have in hand all the information we need, we have in hand enough to know that we have to respond big-time,'' Winter said.

Ofcourse the Bush Administration is foolishly going to pour Billions of OUR tax dollars into the bottomless pit of Africa. Until Africa abandons its anti-white pro-communist policies the suffering will be never ending.

[Billy_bob_bob]

If Bush is foolish enough to fall for this shakedown (Oh, boo hoo hoo, we murdered all of our farmers and now we're starving! Give us money or you're RACISTS!) he is going to leave himself wide open to be politically blindsided come the '04 primaries. He should take a moment to talk to his dad about what happens when you RADICALLY PI$$ OFF the right wing of your party. Pat is not the only conservative candidate out there, neither is George W. Bush.

[SCARED]

and african americans want US to pay THEM reparations for taking them away from that sewer!
