DEATH TOLL RISES TO 80,000
Bush Administration Response? Equivalent of Five Hours Spending in Iraq
Bush Administration Response? Equivalent of Five Hours Spending in Iraq
After pressure, George Bush both increased aid and went on national television to talk about the human crisis in South East Asia. It took him three days to even start talking about it.
At a time when our nation has an opportunity to take a leadership role in the world, George Bush continues to be dragged kicking and screaming into engaging on this issue. Three days to respond seems reasonable to you? Three days was how long it took the bodies of the dead to decay so badly officials are now burying thousands in anonymous mass graves.
To continue putting Bush's monetary response in perspective, $35 million is what George Bush spends in Iraq in FIVE HOURS. As they say, money talks, bullshit walks. The rest of the world is watching, and George Bush has told everyone in the world how little a priority he puts on this human disaster.
