Starving children in Niger [View All]

[Submariner]

Last night Nightline postponed a previously planned program to focus on the present danger the people of Niger are facing with starvation and thirst. Those poor souls have nothing and are even eating the rotten carcasses of putrefied decomposing cattle. It is disgusting and extremely sad. It was said that U.S. aid is two weeks away! They need food and water NOW!

I thought when watching Nightline, that Bush, Condi et al would hear about it and dispatch some C-130s from Germany, or where-ever, and at least emergency drop some food and water NOW given acceleration of the death rate in the past few days. Of the billions we waste on killing Arabs and Muslims, one would think the U.S. could spend a little bit of that and really save some lives. The video of starving toddlers and infants was especially gruesome.

I have heard nothing on the news all day today from Bush, Laura, or Condi, who are the first 3 I would think to state something about a rescue plan. Has anyone heard anything on the news about the U.S. helping out in Niger NOW? It would be incredibly disgraceful for us if the Chimp does not take action on this NOW.
