How Many Countries Will Come To Help America
- Thread starter Creekboy
- Start date
I think our government was not prepared fast enough . They should have had this under control as soon as the storm passed . We should have had suplies ready and waiting. But hey , Bush did cut his vaction short to fly over and look . I pray for the people that are there and for all that are affected.
I heard this morning on the early news 2 Countries have vowed the US in some form or another to help that was Russia and Japan..........others just gave condolences....thinking the next diaster or country being invaded by another we should have a news report and say Well remember when
On another note you know watching all these SciFi flicks hows come we couldn't just drop a bomb right down the throat of Katrina and dispearsed the storm long before she ever hit landfall.....Hummmm any thoughts on that one

the deputy Prime Minister here in Canada has committed to us doing something too; but things are still trying to be figured out. I think we want to send a big slew of utility trucks and construction crews to help but I think there is enough of that already. Our branch of the Red Cross is enroute as are various other specialized volunteers.
I think one of the big things we could do to help is give you guys a break on the price of all our oil
Also creekboy - I've often wondered if it would be possible to nuke these big storms

until its in for sure we won't know who is going to help, I kinda changed my philosophy on the NY Yankees and The NFL they both donated a million dollars each Kuddos for them, Texas rangers owner said he'd match how much was givin at there next game up to a million
I hope everything turns out alright down there New Orleans is where I like to go on my cruises out of.

Creek, I agree. However your missing something. The US WILL NEVER "pull out". One of the compelling reasons for invading is we lost out bases in Saudi. We moved, I think, over 2 divisions of troops from Saudi to Quatar. Now Quatar is about the size of, what, Robbinsville, NC.
The Gov has always been edgeing towards a permanent base in the middle east. The war gives them a solid reason to build one. Once that is accomplished, we will need troops to keep the base "tidy" and clean, right. That will take, what, a few divisions. Humm, sounds fishy don't it.

The other countries are too busy taking care of their own like we should be doing. One of the main primary reason why our country chooses to go over to assist and give millions of american tax payer money (not insurance money) to other countries and leave its struggling family, is because ...........

hehe...why not send these "refugees" that refused to leave the area and decided to loot the area....to Iraq...Haiti...Cuba....Mexico...and any other country that seems to flood us with some of it's "very best citizens".
Can you imagine what a 60,000+ person immigration to Mexico of people that have no money..no shelter..nada, would do for Mexico? Just imagine all the jobs they could get...NAFTA at it's best, no?
After all...these countries have given us so much in the past...let's give a little back.
No, I am not saying all 60K+ people are lowlife theives...but then niether are all people that immigrate here....right?

Good news,
Many many countires have offered help. What they're offering, I don't know. But at least its something. C. Rice says no offer that can help the people in the diaster area will be refused.

Has Canada done anything yet ?
Sending boxes of band-aids ain't enough from them .
If I'm premature and they have stepped in to help well ...... need more of those band-aids

Yes as a matter of fact we just committed three warships full of supplies, a coast guard vessel and several helicopters that are enroute. Air Canada is also flying in and out of New Orleans taking refugees to Texas, Oklahoma and beyond.
We also have a hospital ship that is planning to be deployed. I think it's in Florida right now actually.
Thanks for mentioning that Bandit. Sounds like a little more than a box of bandaids.

The U.N. has offered aid to the U.S. The President had not accepted anything as of this morning.
Damn shame. We can rush to the aid of other countries, but we can't take care of our own!
Why didn't the military send Active Duty troops to the area to secure a supply line? They train to do that kind of operation often. The National Guard should be going in to relieve the Active Duty troops AFTER they have secured the city, and established a supply and evacuation route.
If they get shot at, an M1A2 or Bradley would do well to return fire!

That's good time obscene. The man needs to swallow his pride, or whatever it is, and think aboujt the people first. You know, the ones he was elected to provide for and such.
Where is this info coming from?? CNN reports that we are accepting aid from many, many countries.
C. Rice has said no aid that will help the victims will be refused. Also on CNN.
For domestic it has always been National Guard first, called in by the governor. Not active duty tank regiments. Maybe someone should be talking to LA governor...The U.N. has offered aid to the U.S. The President had not accepted anything as of this morning.
