"No sense waiting for the international community to respond. You won't see ships from our European friends. You won't see helicopters from our Asian friends."

So let's see. Human suffering be damned. Above all else, you want to make this tragedy about bashing European and Asian countries (and scoring points for Israel).

Have we asked for disaster relief from any Asian or European country? These things are managed diplomatically, and the Federal government is only now assessing the damage and putting together a plan to deal with the aftermath. If the disaster is something we can handle with our own resources, we don't need to be asking the whole world to come by with ships and helicopters to help out-- do you even realize that?

What's painfully obvious here is that you are USING the terrible disaster that's killed hundreds of people and devastated thousands of homes on the Gulf Coast, to push your petty little political agenda.

Make no mistake, it's third-rate Rush Limbaugh ditto-heads like you (and that twit in the White House) who are busy giving the U.S. of A a bad name.
