Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin's (search) boast that France was vaulting to "the head of all the contributors"

Yeah, very noble :roll:

Once France is mentioned in a thread, the vultures start circling, all because they didn't buy into the * lie.

 

[Aimster]

France disagrees with the U.S and it turns into a U.S vs France thing. Everyone must agree with us. If you don't you are the enemy.

so when France sends aid you people pat them on the backs, but when Bush sends aid and coordinates efforts with other nations, you criticize him for not doing this the day of the disaster. :disgust:

the next day, after the disaster France pledged $175k, USA = $30. I sure within a week or so the number will be in the hundreds of millions from America

When that is a reality then he would get props but time is ticking for peoples familys while bush sits on his ass.

Bush's staff actually said he would not comment on the disaster until after the weekend. Then after pressure he makes a statement.

lol

What do you want bush to do.

Send troops to help out send some substantial help. You know, the thing presidents do. (Or at least offer.)

do you think these countries would let foreign troops on their soil??? wow

there was a thread earlier about how Sri Lanka rejected Israeli soldiers. I believe we have sent some warships.

like i posted before, whatever Bush does is never enough for these people. heck tomorrow if he comes out and donates $1 billion, they'll say hes a week late
