BTW, it is easy to detect Bush's motives for forming his little "coalition" for sending aid to the region. He is setting up a dynamic to compete with both the UN and EU efforts, so he can turn around and condemn both institutions in the morning. One need only look at who his "partners" are in this endeavor to see through this sham at the expense of the Asian people desperating awaiting aid and assistance.

So who does Bush send in? US troops, US military hardware, US military advisors. That will certainly reassure the Indonesian Muslims, I'm sure. Or did everyone forget that Indonesia is a hotbed of radical Muslim activity and on Shrub's "war on terrorism" hit list. This disaster provides the perfect opportunity for Bush to peacefully invade yet another Muslim nation.

And this international coalition Bushie Boy is gonna head up, of India, Japan, Australia, and US, is more than a bit suspicious, especially in the wake of the stock market news in India when all this was being announced.

And according the US Agency for International Development, we have now raised a whopping $110 million worldwide to deal with this crisis.

In fact, this new American coalition of the Asian willing is as genuine and sincere as Martin Gibson's claims of being compassionate about the Asian victims he and the Bush administration immediately wrote off in the wake of the catastrophe.

Don't get me wrong, the survivors will be damn glad to see the US warships that have the ability to produce up to 90,000 gallons of water a day. But we also know it will only be a tiny drop in a huge bucket of need for those people, and when it's all over, we'll still have US troops in Indonesia to wage our war on the Muslims there too.
