Dan Gross Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Not to distract from whatever the latest thread hijack topic is, but the hits keep coming... Up to 94 countries.

Up to 94 countries. 431551[/snapback] 94 countries is possibly a little short, since some members of organisations involved (eg: NATO / EU) will send and coordinate their aid via those organisations rather than doing so independently.

I agree 94 countries/organisations is a pretty good number of states sending help.

Mexican Marines were also in D'Iberville, MS, which is North Biloxi. It makes me very happy to hear all of this. I live in D'Iberville, MS.

As crazy as that place was sometimes, I doubt they would have spared the chairs if there wasn't a good reason. And, you have my thoughts. FWIW. I sort of have a good idea about what things were and are like down there. I hope they are a little better, but it's going to take a long time and a lot of work. Not to mention people helping each other.
Adam Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 OK OK - don't piss me off here. Don't B word about Indonedia or anything else for that matter... THOUSANDS died in Indonesia. They DESERVED AND NEEDED American aid. When 9/11 happened the WORLD was horrified and offered it's support - the UK even went to WAR for the US over that stuff. Your moaning makes you sound like spoiled babies. Your nation is a SUPERPOWER - the ONLY one in the world. Ya made yer bed, now lie in it. 424070[/snapback] We made our bed.....ok, so did they.

Why the hell would Indonesia "deserve" American aid?
Kevbeau Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Deserved? Why the hell would Indonesia "deserve" American aid? 439742[/snapback] Because from what I gather we made our own bed.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I saw Bush on C-SPAN yesterday thanking the Mexican workers in Spanish. 439720[/snapback] Bush doesn't speak Spanish, he speaks MEXICAN...
Dan Gross Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Bush doesn't speak Spanish, he speaks MEXICAN... 439825[/snapback] I hear he has been avoiding going to Latin America because his Latin is rusty...
KD in CA Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Because from what I gather we made our own bed. 439746[/snapback] And apparently we're expected to make everyone else's bed too.
