Thanks for posting this!
I wrote a post last weekend detailing how the left blames the Burma disaster on President Bush. It's the new Katrina!
Can you believe it?
Keep it up!
Restoring America's Image? Bush has already done it.

One other thing to remember when you Yanks send a carrier and it's involved in rescue work, the flights of fighter craft are usually suspended. I didn't think of this but it was pointed out a couple of years ago in another blog(military) that it seems the pilots have to maintain a certain amount of time in flight,and the time spent idle went over and the time and money spent afterwords to bring them back up to training standards was millions by itself..Or so I understand.

It also, as in the case of the December tsunami a couple of years ago, becomes the place of room & board for various U.N. representatives & reporters from all corners of the planet, who in their brilliance seem to forget while planning their travel itinerary, forget to book a hotel room or even check if a hotel room is available. Then have the audacity to whine about their food being served on paper plates. Ingrates.

Dave: I recall that story. UN types demanded to be fed and quartered on the aircraft carrier, refusing to stay on shore at nights but insisted on being ferried back to the ship. The majority of fresh water was being sent ashore to the victims, so the navy served food on paper plates, prompting sarcasm and complaints from the UN personel. Then they refused to pay for their food.
Lets not forget that the Australians and New Zealanders did yeoman's work .
After, it was grating how other nations sneered at American 'stinginess' for aid to Indonesia. Often lying by ommission, ignoring the money we spent via our military and private contributions.
AMEN! On this, my friend, we totally agree. It is disgusting how the left can not let anything fo by without slamming President Bush. And, blaming natural weather occurances on globaloney warming?! If we lose to these fools, we will deserve the four years of torture we will get. I will WISH to be waterboarded!

Interesting. Every single comment, until a couple of RWS regulars at the end showed up, whined that not enough aid was provided and it was Bushs fault. I wonder what percentage of them are / were actually residents affected by the hurricane.
That reminds me of an old quote from Gordon Sinclair:
The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the earth.
As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtse. Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did.
They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Misssissippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.
The Marshall Plan .. the Truman Policy .. all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.
I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.
Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 107? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or women on the moon?
You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, most of them ... unless they are breaking Canadian laws .. are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.
When the Americans get out of this bind ... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the Israel bonds, Let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake ap
