Sky cut away to interview humanitarian aid worker.
This rep is saying the military don't know how to this as well as the professional. The belligerents use it as propaganda.
He's now criticizing the way aid was delivered yesterday. It was totally inappropriate. The best people to distribute are the professional aid workers. The military should secure the area so that we can move in and provide the aid.
Gawd, he was hostile, angry. That's all I'm going to say this early in the morning.

MSNBC is interviewing the wife of one of them (TV is in the other room). She's describing how she found out about her husband (Jamie) getting injured.

Like the aid workers can do anything better than our military. It's our food and aid - we'll distribute it any darned way we please.
Aid worker is probably upset he can't sell the stuff on the black market and is angling for control.

Only problem with this guys statement is that he ignores the facts! It was the Kuwaiti Red Crescent who ran that aid run. The coalition provided protection!
These imbeciles are so predictable. Yesterday on the local news (swiss) I heard some dweeb from the Red Cross saying that the Military can't provide the relief becaus they are not "neutral". Since when did neutrality have anything to do with handing out food? One last point: who pays for all of that food aid? The majority of the funds come from the good old US Government!

Red Cross-Red Crescent or UN? I can see the UN being extremely snotty. But then, I can see the UN being extremely snotty about everything.
