2005-09-04
Saudi Refining, Inc., a subsidiary of the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco), has announced it will donate $5 million to the American Red Cross to support relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Katrina. "We support the Red Cross in its tireless efforts to meet the urgent needs of those who have been so tragically affected by Hurricane Katrina, including the thousands of people temporarily sheltered in Houston," said Sharaf M. Salamah, president and chief executive officer of the Houston-based Saudi Refining. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been impacted by the storm and its aftermath."

#5  that's $5 million not spent on a Madrassah teaching death to infidels. Take it....use it to help relocate/rebuild a synagogue

#4  5 million? They make that in about 5 seconds.

What will happen to New Orleans? I have been there and I learned that the only reason why they kept the lowland areas protected from flooding, was the fact that thousands settled there before city planning began. It is likely that they will give up those areas and shore up downtown/French Quarter etc. Residential building construction will probably follow on Chicago's highrise model.

#2  Fidel's Castro has offered 100 "Doctor Teams" I say let them help and say "Thank You"

But I wonder how many of those "Doctor Teams" will want to stay and not return to Cuba.
