Newspapers surprised at superpower 'humbled' by Hurricane Katrina
The Daily Mail newspaper echoed the same theme in its editorial entitled "The humbling of a superpower."
"Here is a superpower that can crush at will a tinpot dictatorship - but then becomes so bogged down in the grisly aftermath of war that it finds itself unable to respond to anything like adequately to the plight of tens of thousands of its own citizens engulfed by a natural calamity," it said.
So true. We've needed days to do what any tinpot dictatorship in the EU would have taken mere months to accomplish. And without shooting Brazlian electricians in the head for reading a newspaper in the tube, to boot.
Thanks for the help, guys. We'll remember that next time you come squealing that bad old Germany or the nasty Arabs have stolen your countries again.
What? That's It? No Mention Of the Trillions of dollars they still owe us? No reference to the muck-up they've made over the Iran nuke deal? Not a peep about us defeating the 4th largest army in the world in under 100 hours while their token assistance did little more than ferry supplies? The price of gasoline in Europe is what...$10 US a gallon and it'd be TWICE that if we didn't knock Soddam out of Kuwait? London gets bombed and our assistance is there in under 24 hours? Thousands upon thousands of US troops STILL in Europe to keep a peace they themselves have been powerless to bring about in over a century of trying? All this and more for them, and when WE could use a hand they mock us?
Sorry, but this is the Overnight-Lite version of Messenger and we don't do that.
