You would think that in such dire situation, and with so much criticism being hurled at the snail-like response of the federal gov't, they would accept ALL the help they can get? I guess not...

I also heard that we have yet to accept help from Canada and Iran... go figure, huh?

Anyone else pissed?

To be honest I am tired of all of this media bs. No disrespect Keyser but you only see what gets reported from the Media. You or nobody really knows exactly what has happned with offers from Iran or Canada. If you buy into media you would also think Bruce Dickinson is a racists who hates Americans. I think its good to learn as much as possible but stuff like this is just rediculous. I am in the middle I look at both sides. All media is evil and to really buy into it is not worth your anger

I did not buy into it, mate... I've researched several different sources. I am more than aware of the power of distortion of the media. I'm not an idiot, far from it.
The fact of the matter is this... The US Gov't has been coming under HUGE criticism for days now. This is fact, not media distortion... Many people died because of the slow response of the US Gov't.... again, FACT, not media distortion.
I take your post as a huge disrespect, regardless of what you say... However, to avoid any further unpleasant business, I will close this thread.
I apologize if my well placed anger has disturbed you.
