Where were you sensible on this issue? Where is serious aid to Boxer Day Tsunami victims by the US in those first five days? I have put up that challenge repeatedly. No one has yet cited a major American attempt to provide aid in those first five days. Nothing moved for five days - until George Jr finally decided - due to world wide condemnation - that a disaster had occurred.
Once George Jr made a decision, then massive aid started moving. It was always there waiting to be deployed. Within two days of being ordered into action, the USS Lincoln was on scene. Day after George Jr finally ordered a US government response, only then did a Marine reactionary force respond. On the day after George Jr finally made a decision, a convoy of ships with massive supplies left from Guam. These are all responses that sat stifled because the mental midget president could not make a decision.
That fact remains completely unchallenged by Dagney. Dagney, if you are going to make a logical post, you must challenge the timeline. Where is this massive US response to a disaster in the first five days? Tens of thousands of lives probably could have been saved it something had arrived in the first three days. What did George Jr do? As UT demonstrates - he finally got on the phone on day three. That is 'moral' leadership - to let victims die?
Please learn to post without your emotional outbursts. I can understand your problem. You have feelings that are not supported by any facts. Your only alternative is to attack the messenger. That does not make your case.
You want to prove me wrong? Then provide facts. Show me where the thousands of US Government employees were moving to save lived in the first five days of the disaster. Show me where this president demonstrated leadership for five days? You cannot. Was he waiting for Cheney to tell him what to do? It does explain five days of indecision.
