The US could have said bollocks to the very people that hate them and given
absoloutely nothing you ungrateful little *****.

Washington DC ... In the wake of the Asian tsunami disaster, the
United States this week deployed aircraft carriers, transport planes,
helicopters, medical teams, food supplies and pledged hundreds of
millions of dollars of humanitarian aid in an unprecedented rescue
operation aimed at rescuing America's tattered credibility and
appalling international image worldwide.
"The utter devastation is unlike anything we have seen before," said
US Secretary of State Colin Powell. "We have lost all respect and
credibility from the international community. Our President is an
international joke. No one believes anything we say after all that
***** we spouted about WMDs. Everyone thinks we're sadistic
psychopaths after Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. People call us
bloodthirsty murderers after we blitzed Falluja. We hope this rescue
operation will help rescue what little international esteem we still
have."

US mounts massive rescue operation after tsunami disaster

Washington DC ... In the wake of the Asian tsunami disaster, the
United States this week deployed aircraft carriers, transport planes,
helicopters, medical teams, food supplies and pledged hundreds of
millions of dollars of humanitarian aid in an unprecedented rescue
operation aimed at rescuing America's tattered credibility and
appalling international image worldwide.
"The utter devastation is unlike anything we have seen before," said
US Secretary of State Colin Powell. "We have lost all respect and
credibility from the international community. Our President is an
international joke. No one believes anything we say after all that
***** we spouted about WMDs. Everyone thinks we're sadistic
psychopaths after Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. People call us
bloodthirsty murderers after we blitzed Falluja. We hope this rescue
operation will help rescue what little international esteem we still
have."

"We don't want people to remember us as arrogant bullies," Powell
added. "We want them to remember us as compassionate, caring arrogant
bullies."

Just days after the tsunami hit, the Bush administration pledged US$35
million in aid to the stricken victims - almost as much as the US$38
million budgeted for President Bush's inauguration ceremony
celebrations on January 20th. "Unlike the Presidential event,
however, the aid package didn't include any allocations for caviar,
pate de fois grois or truffles," Powell clarified.

This pledge was later increased to a hefty US$350 million. "Sure, this
is about the same amount we spend in Iraq every 36 hours," Powell
said. "But, heck, we always have money for killing people, anyway."

The massive rescue effort - called Operation Enduring Nice Guy - would
involve two naval battle groups, C-17 supply aircraft, 45 helicopters,
over 13,000 military personnel, millions of dollars of supplies and
billions of dollars worth of constant, unremitting TV airtime,
newspaper coverage, photo ops and media conferences. More than 500
tons of food and medical supplies have been delivered to Indonesia,
while 50 million column inches of newspaper articles and 4 million
hours of cable news airtime on President Bush's aid package speech
have been delivered to homes throughout the rest of the world.

Powell reiterated Washington's commitment to help in reconstruction
efforts in the tsunami hit areas. "We just hope we have better luck
than we did in our two years trying to reconstruct Iraq."

US Marines will also assist in evacuating civilians from wave-struck
and disease-infested towns and cities. "Falluja has shown that if
there's one thing we're darn good at, it's getting hundreds of
thousands of civilians out of their towns and cities pretty quickly,"
Powell said with a wink.

Blair and Bush: Observed three days' silence Powell also hoped that US
efforts in Indonesia would help convince Muslims worldwide that the
Bush Administration is not an enemy of Islam. "Our humanitarian
efforts are now helping ease the suffering of thousands of Muslim
men, women and children in Acheh - so we hope you guys just quietly
forget that we bombed thousands of Muslim men, women and children in
Iraq."
Powell also urged ordinary Americans to contribute cash to
humanitarian efforts as well and dig deep into their pockets to match
the government's US$350 million commitment. "They're also going to
have to dig deep into their pockets later this year when their taxes
are going to have to pay for the additional US$80 billion we're going
to need for the war in Iraq."

Throughout the world, people paid their respects to the victims of the
disaster by observing a minute's silence during New Year celebrations.
President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain topped this by
observing a full three days' silence and not saying anything public
about the disaster until after they returned from their well-earned
Christmas holidays.


In a related development, a full-scale war with Japan was narrowly
averted when it was explained to President Bush that the tsunami
terror was not caused by a terrorist Japanese military dictator named
Tsunami and there was no need to invade Japan again.

The US could have said bollocks to the very people that hate them and given
