they are sending white flags to wave to draw attention,, good show
Ping. That makes Australia, Germany, Russia. Any word from the British?
Merci.
?
Well, if they want Louisiana back, they can have it.
As much as I like to bust on the French I have to say Merci for their help. I hope other countries step up to the plate.
At least they don't have to exert any energy or get their hands dirty.
Maybe they'll send someone with some brains and common sense about how to handle a disaster because ONE thing is for SURE...the local, state and federal government has NO clue what they are doing. This after we have spent BILLIONS of dollars on HOMELAND SECURITY. What a scam that is. WHERE has all that money gone? These cities were supposed to have plans in all cases of emergency. Looks like to me like New Orleans took the money but NEVER bothered to follow through with making plans!! I, as an American, am totally disgusted that these people haven't even been put in a tent city that we would have had up by now if this were a foreign country. What does this tell our enemy? Come on in...we have NO protection! It's time to get rid of all the elected officials, both dems and repugs and start over. It will take a while but it's got to be done. These people are so comfortable with their large salaries and pensions that they really don't care about their constituents, the stupid taxpayer. I AM PISSED and I don't care who knows it or what anybody thinks....(Now I'll take a breath!)
God bless those poor people who have been lied to day after day in the richest country in the world.
"Laissez les bon temps rouler encore!"
I could make a frog joke here, especially since the city is under water...
Just say (gulp!)...Thank you.
""From our crisis unit, which is going to Baton Rouge from Lafayette, we are following the situation of the French people we know about," said the spokesman."
Does this mean they are only going there to help the 'French people we know about'??
Perhaps this thread on France's aid will answer your question on another thread.
How about sending figgine help to Iraq. We can take care of our own here. ...on second thought, it's the French. Nevermind.
despite all the tensions between us and France, it is nice of them to offer help. If it happened to them, despite the rocky relationship, I would like our govt to do the same.
