Reports are scattered, but they range from 6-20 billion directly from the government with several, several billion more from donations and other organizations.thats great, how much did we give New Orleans after Katrina
I agree with your synopsis totally, however there are ramifications to the georgia actions for the US and there are none in New Orleans. The basic premise is we need to take care of home first IMOYou've got to understand that a US city and Georgia are two different beasts. The US has the infrastructure and ability to raise money outside of the government, Georgia barely has any of that ability, if any at all. I would venture to say that 1bn is not enough. Hopefully other nation states will contribute.
Yeah?Georgia has an oil pipeline that runs through it :think:
yesYeah?
Yeah, the US government doesn't really give a sh*t about Georgians or the US military, only enough to keep the public from a riot.yes
The pipeline that crosses Georgia can pump slightly more than 1 million barrels of crude oil per day, or more than 1 percent of the world's daily crude output. The 1,100-mile pipeline carries oil from Azerbaijan's Caspian Sea fields, estimated to hold the world's third-largest reserves.
I didn't mean Yeah? as in Really? I meant it as in, what's your point?yes

I know it's true, I just didn't want some dumb f*ck to think it wasn't.I didn't mean Yeah? as in Really? I meant it as in, what's your point?
You guys act like oil production and availability doesn't effect the well being of people around the world. If there were a major oil crisis it would be catastrophic. It's cynical to think that the US acts in the name of oil, but it's true and better than doing nothing. In terms of Iraq, well that's a different story.
You are 100% right about both those sentences!:clap2:i wasn't pointing fingers at the american people, they are great people
i just don't care for the govt and what it does it the interests of "freedom"
