I dont care for cuba,but I feel we should of atleast decline the offer
instead of ignoring it. Just my opinion

Maybe I missed the news but so far I have not ready about any donations
from
your Country.

Even Sri Lanka contributed cash to the need of the Katrina victims.


Canada's offers were made public about a day after the incident. Don't
remember
exactly, but they included a bunch of special mission C-130s.

I obviously missed that....and if what you say is correct, I apologize.\

So what financial commitments were made by the Canadian government?



What did they offer, Ed?

Did we actually snub them, or did we just not have a requirement and use for the
help yet?

They offered over 1,000 in medical personnel and medical supplies as well as
other supplies. Yes according to what I have read, Castro offered his help
right after the hurricane and as of today we have not responded to his
request. The least that I felt our government could of done was thank him
but decline it if we in fact didnt need it.

Bush probably doesn't realize that Cuba is in the Caribbean, and may have a
bit of experience with hurricanes.

As of 2 Sep, according to the Secretary of State, no offer had been declined.

It would be interesting to see the source of the info saying we declined and
snubbed Cuba's offer.

He's precisely stupid enough to nix the shipments because "the law am the

him...please....no weapons needed. Just my hands. I just want him to leave
the room with few enough teeth in his mouth to fit the rest of his

Here is the link that mentions that we have not responded to Castro offer
which he has offered 3 times now

Castro did not accept our help when Cuba got hit last year... just fyi
That's true...but what a perfect time to show who is the 'bigger man'.
Castro has to be mellowing out at his age and if the US played it right,
I'm sure he'd come around a bit.

You know half of those doctors from Cuba would end up defecting to the U.S.
and that would add another problem. Castro is a communist, and I am not sure
about you, but I personally was affected by the commies when living in
eastern Europe, and I would tell you right now, given the chance, I would
kill that SOB even if he was trying to help us. Communists are the only
thing worse than left wingers.

Nah...if I were crazy, I wouldn't be posting it here. But, I'm honest. I
don't care if the FBI's reading my email. I want 10 minutes in a room with
Nookular Boy. His sitters can search me and tear down the walls if it makes
them feel better. I don't want weapons. I'll even give him an edge - he can
have some movie-bar fight stuff, like an empty beer bottle and a bar stool.
I don't want him dead. I just want him to leave with two thirds of his teeth
missing so his visual image fits all his other characteristics. It would
help if there were a couple of rusty pickup trucks on the front lawn of the
White House. Maybe NB could call his wife "sis" during photo ops, too.

Nice contributions today!

Why are the left wing bleeding hear liberals so damn concerned about what a
communist dictator is doing?? Are we that concerned about what he is
feeling??
