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.

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.
