....thats far from the truth but jim much like many on the poilitical shows was using this tragedy as an opportunity to bash, when clearly and factually the US was already doing more than any one country, he wants to dig about timing of a public statement. i think the peope on the ground over there were more concerned with the water being sent then how many days before a public statement. public statements are political tools this is about helping people not beefing up your numbers. other countries came out with big numbers about how much they were sending but in reality it can only be sent as it is used you can say we are committing 5 billion dollars but in reality its not all going there that second. the us was stating how much was imedialtey sent and they update as more is sent. so i suppose he could have grandstanded but that doesnt help the people effected at all does it? so throw out a big number like that amount is actually being spent right now and look good or be factual......
