Bush to World: We Don't Need Your Help?

President Bush to Diane Sawyer: "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."

Wrong.

Worse, Bush said, "I'm not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn't asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will send cash dollars." Unfortuntaely, Bush is making good on his promise to turn away foreign aid.

Perhaps Condi Rice should take a break from shoe shopping and Broadway shows to answer some phone calls. So far, we've refused help from Canada, Russia and Jamaica.

You think the Bush Administration would be welcoming any help offered to us, considering their funding cuts forced federal engineers to delay improvements on the levees, floodgates and pumping stations that failed to protect New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters.
