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!

Exactly so. It's our aid and we'll determine who provides and how it's done.

Too many of these supposed aid workers sell stuff on the black market.

Food and water aren't "neutral?"

Oh, wait--the aid agencies just want their skim.

Koffee keeps making that point, that he expects the US and Britain to bear the cost of this humanitarian aid. We pony up the money and they run it.

And you're right, what does neutrality have anything to do with handing out humanitarian aid?

My son was laughing at the TV when I looked up I saw the UN guys talking and thought I heard that they where asking for 60 (billion?) dollars for hamanatarian aid. So does each country have to contribute? Didn't Ted Turner give a million once?
