Can You Believe The UN Had The Nerve To Say The US Is Stingy?

[BigFish]

Imagine....the United States being stingy on foreign/emergency aid to the disaster in Asia? Our country sends more aid money around the world than any other and we get slapped across the face like this? How fast do these jackasses think you are supposed to be able to mobilize the kind and size of the aid that will be required to make necessary impact over there? Are countries like Turkey, Kuwait, Iraq, France? doing their fair share.....we already send too goddamn much money to other countries just to help with the support of their friggin' infrastructure....let these other countries step up like the US does for cryin' out loud! Help and aid is very necessary over there and as usual we are spearheading the mission......and the United Nations critisizes us?

The UN can kiss my fat hairy ass!!!!!!!!!!

[TunaCell]

Unbelievable . . .

[BigFish]

It was some Norwegian guy from the UN? What the heck does Norway do for cryin' out loud outside of complain and finger point?

F@&* the UN

un = useless nitwits

[Roop]

It's too bad we always do the right thing, which I think we should.

This would be a perfect example to wash our hands of the UN & the "global community".

[likwid]

Instead of sending aid, the US is just gonna charge all the Americans over there for their lost passports and whatnot and use that money.

Aren't we wonderful?

The US should get out of the UN,and get the UN out of the US

Um, I don't know about you but the last thing I want is a bunch of people getting together and talking about me.........and I'm not in the room.

We have to remain part of the UN, just to ensure our own security, if for no other reason.

9/11 happens and the outcry from the rest of the world is welcomed with open arms.

A disaster happens elsewhere and Americans bitch about being asked for money.

Cute.

I'm not sure you can just bash the entire UN here...this was a single person, not an official statement. As a country we have great means, and the scale of this problem is tremendous.

We "the U.S. of A." are giving 35 Million to start,& If IM not mistakin the Friggin French coughed up a Whopping 128,000.Wow thanks guys! Who needs the French anyway?!?!


Now I think that this whole money thing is based on Earned Tax $$ we the U.S.A are as always on top with the most earned tax $$.
What this Guy @ the UN is gripping about is that he feels that we should give more $$.

Now I think that we are spreading our selfs way too thin & try in other methods to help these people.

Also another thing aren't some of these people the same that were dancing around the streets when 911 fell on our sholders???

Are you alright today?!?!! Did you forget 9/11?!?!!? Do you remember how quiet things were during that week?? All you saw on T.V. was all these "IDIOTS" dancing around because the U.S.A. got attacked!!! WAKE UP!!!!
Keep things in check?!?!? With whom??? Are you trying to justify yourself???

[spence]

So 80,000 and counting deserved to die because of 9/11 You've lost me on this one...

I think you're misdirecting your anger...unless you have some video of coastal Muslims in Indonesia celebrating 9/11, which you don't, I'm afraid I don't see the point. If you think that the 50,000 Muslims that died this week deserve it for what some extremists did on 9/11, I have harsher words that are better left unsaid.

Your initial comment reminded me of Gerry Faldwell's after 9/11, blaming the attacks on gays and abortionists in America. I have no tolerance for this kind of thinking.

I think that comment by that UN guy were out of control and slanted. What he said was that the US goverment only paid something like 0.4% of the GDP for aid. Which is greater than anyone elses.

The numbers are slanted because they did not include the charitable donations made by the US population which will end up tripling the entire amount donated by everyone else in the entire world.

I think the UN has a credible purpose, and this is a chance for it to shine, especially after getting caught with the Saddam thing. It's a pity that they are throwing norwegian rocks.

Well today listening to talk radio a whacko called in and said the reason for the earthquake and tidal waves causing all the deaths were on the shoulder of the United States and our demand for oil. The drilling for oil caused the devestation.....Anyone willing to bet what party this person would be affirmed with? LOL

[The Dad Fisherman]

It doesn't have anything to do w/ a party.....the guy is just a friggin knucklehead, thats all

[likwid]

Considering we dump 4bil in military support into Israel so they can blow up "terrorists" (read: people in wheelchairs), I think we can afford a few hundred mil to help out a bunch of people caught totally offguard by nature.
