#1 Lol, Mrs D - thx for posting the actual full "statement" I'd read about at DiploMad and Belmont Club.

Massive Fraud should be in there somewhere, since the UNHCR is very late, the offering quite small - almost insignificant compared with the 4-nation coalition's response, does not include foodstuffs, and they are more interested in PR than aid.

Politicizing this disaster has just begun. It will get very ugly and we can fully expect Massive Disinformation from the usual sources as the tragedy expands. Just wait until the UN stops shipments to repackage food that says USA or USAID into UN labelled bags...

#2 It took them 5 days to get the first plane airborne, and they're only planning 4 more.
I'm impressed, really.
