Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 68 | Well from everything I just looked at.. they are accepting relief support... Bush Sr. and Pres. Clinton are going to be heading a fund raising campaign like for the Tsunami relief... but I cant give you an exact spot where they said they are or are not taking overseas help... but it would seem really weird not to..

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 85 | OMG...breaking news here in Houston....the Astrodome is now not taking in anymore refugees...apparantly they do not have enough people in the dome to help all the people that are in there.... chaos is breaking out....a few people have died either due to stress or whatever...no real details...all i know is there are DOZENS of buses sitting outside the dome with thousands of people waiting to go in and they are being turned away! this is madness.... they cannot even tell us how many people ARE in the dome...they cannot log in every single person...cannot check the people for weapons....i am scared that things may reach a level of serious dimensions very soon... san antonio and dallas have agreed to have 25,000 refugees go to each city...but i fear no one is prepared for such a huge mass of people needing supplies and clothes... i am flabergasted....this is all so uncomprehensible! |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 75 | freakin impatient in here, you cant just mobilized a full disaster relief effort in any short period of time by WHOEVER is in office. both the coast guard and the national guard are in there supplying and helping all they can. what is wrong with you people? so quick to pass judgement against what is being done by someone in the upper echelons of our government. you people probably have no idea how hard it is to mobilize this relief effort, i know i dont, but i can bet its hard.
