it's not suspicious, at least on the surface.

The military can help in ways most of us can't appreciate. What bothers me is what Bush is capable of using this for.

There's nothing like watching the New World Order unfold before your very eyes, so THANK YOU FOR ASKING QUESTIONS.

In answer to your last question why has a senior commander involved in the invasion of Iraq been assigned to lead the US emergency relief program?....

Haiku (or whatever)

$250 million in aid
and rising
Halliburton
is
on its way.

Bush chooses his words more carefully than we give that criminal credit for.

Describing the $20 million as a "line of credit," Ereli said, "We have identified an additional $20 million that we will be working to make available" to countries struck by the worst natural disaster in four decades.....

QUESTION: Adam, can you just -- the $20 million, exactly what is the status of that? Is that to be disbursed fairly soon or is it just --

MR. ERELI: Like the $11 million, it will be -- the 11 million additional, it will be disbursed to our missions and to local NGOs and other organizations as the need arises. The way to think of it is as a line of credit, frankly, that here is money available to be drawn upon to get equipment, to develop capacity, to provide supplies and relief to the people in need, as those needs are identified and as the institutions are identified that are capable of making use of the money. So think of it as a line of credit to be drawn down upon, as opposed to just a pot of money to be thrown out there.

QUESTION: Is it cash, credits and goods, or all three, or what?

MR. ERELI: I believe it's credit. It's basically money available to pay bills.

WHAT BILLS DO YOU ASK? As soon as Clinton put Chimp Boy in his place re his callousness & the 'US' position as 'world leader' and Chimp Boy heard that aid had reached $250 million....

U.S. President George W. Bush said Wednesday the United States, India, Australia and Japan have formed an international coalition to coordinate worldwide relief and reconstruction efforts.

He pledged a multifaceted response that goes far beyond the initial U.S. pledge of US$35 million (euro26 million), including U.S. military manpower and damage surveillance teams in the short term and long-term rebuilding assistance.
