Wolfowitz: U.S. Should Safeguard Tsunami Relief Successes

By Samantha L. Quigley

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2005 – The United States has a vested interest in the recovery phase of the tsunami relief efforts now that the initial phase of the tsunami relief effort is nearing successful completion, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz said here Feb. 9.

"We, … having achieved an enormous humanitarian success in the early days in preventing what could have been an even larger catastrophe, now have, I think, a very large stake in making sure that that success doesn't go to waste because the subsequent recovery effort fails," Wolfowitz said during a press briefing in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

1. There are those code words again.. "safeguard"= claim

and then dole out to "worthy" participants .. Kellogg Brown & Root, Halliburton maybe.. They build stuff and they only charge TEN times more than locals could do the work for..

"Want some rice, sahib?? Say you love Jesus and hand over your bowl"

[mom cat]

7. bingo! n/t

[Old Mouse]

2. I had discounted rumors

of using this disaster to get troops into Indonesia. Guess I was too quick to dismiss...

[Eloriel]

20. And I was curious why the amount of money to be invested

went up again recently to "just under a billion."

Now I know. It's always somethin' with these people. There is NEVER anything they do purely for good, always with some agenda or ulterior motive involved, always self-serving, too.

3. get those Christians in there

to fight off the Islam`s influence on these poor retched people.

[Inte11ectual]

4. by safeguard our success, he probably means put US bases

in the countries that we helped. I wouldn't be too surprised in light of the nazi-based foreign policy of the Bush administration.

5. Wolfowitz: I Need to Put Something Positive in the News Today

:puffpiece:

6. Disgusting, Gross, Tragedy as PR..how long til they steal OIL rights, when

Indonesia gets their bill of credit, plus whopping interest.

Since Wolfheart feels US is invested and owed, what will they take.

How convenient that oil in Aceh will be easy to get without the rebels.

Sickening....but of course, these NEO CONS, JUST TAKE< TAKE< TAKE.

"The other importance for not wasting the success of the U.S. relief operations is what it has done for the perception of the United States in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world.

"I think it's had quite an impact – that we were there and able to help and ready to help," said Wolfowitz, who is an former U.S. ambassador to Indonesia. "The whole experience, I think, was on both sides, (that) attitudes changed."

So everyone forgives the 120,000+ lives lost in illegal war in Iraq?
Would Jesus help people and then demand back what was given?

But then Jesus would not engage in tectonic warfare...

8. Got milk?

Milk it for all it's worth just like 911.

[evolvenow]

17. Sadly , Yes. Why was there no warning? Diego Garcia's warning/classified..

kick

[cthrumatrix]

9. these guys are so fricking predictable

[Mist]

10. As CondiLIESa said: "the tsunami was a good opportunity for us" n/t

[5X]

11. Wolfowitz also makes racist remarks...

Parts of the Islamic world are "big on talking about jihad" but have fallen short in aiding Muslim victims of the South Asian tsunami, U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said on Thursday.

"I hope those people might think a little bit about what they've done and what they haven't done," Wolfowitz said. He did not specify who he meant.

12. Wolfie tells Indonesia

A tsunami of gold or a tsunami of bombs!

[David__77]

13. Threat to sovereignty.

He is threatening especially Indonesia for "daring" to assert its right to national integrity. US troops have no place there, or any country besides the US.

14. when did...

Wolfowitz start caring about peasant people in India?

Something's up....

[Canuckistanian]

15. Yeah, something's up here....

This doesn't fit into Straussian theory....

[leesa]

16. Ah, yes....the cabal trying to weasel their way in, build those

"temporary" military bases.

[evolvenow]

18. kick

[salin]

19. In other words... these dollars should go to private contractors

and enrich my consulting buddies... since they did such a good job safeguarding funds in the CPA days when BILLIONS went missing.

[Just Me]

21. IOW: push strategic placement of a permanent US military presence.

You know that's what he really means and what the neoCONspirators really intend.

:mad:
