""The United States will continue to offer any assistance we can as Japan recovers from multiple disasters and we will stand with the people of Japan in the difficult days ahead," Mr. Obama said.



In all about 50,000 American service members are helping however they can.



The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has dispatched two of its top experts as the Japanese struggle to contain the reactor crisis that escalated throughout the weekend."





This says that U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos 'has emerged as the president's man on the ground':

What do you want him to do?

A) Interfere with the Japanese authorities on the ground while engineering a photo op?
B) Give a stern lecture to the reactors on how they need to be more civic minded?
C) Print even more US currency in order to save 'their' economy at the detriment of ours?
D) All of the above

We should consider the requests that are asked of us, not rush in with a 'FEMA trailer' plan...

They are moving a third aircraft carrier to Japan, I think in part to help with the helio lift and just as important to show that we will protect them and pick up the slack  in defense due to the Japanese loosing so many fighter aircraft.

The United States government is broke, bankrupt.  How much additional money would you like to borrow from the Chinese to give to Japan?  Or, would you prefer to to just print more dollars?

We will do what is needed and then some. I do pray for the good of the Japanese people that in no form or fashion is FEMA involved. That would be the 3rd catastrophe.

The Japanese Prime Minister rejected President Obama's food aid plan yesterday.  Other Japanese officials were quoted saying "What the fuck was he thinking?  We don't need any fried chicken, watermelon, or purple drank."  An unnamed member of the media tried to explain it off saying that Obama only made the overture because he was upset that teleprompter manufacturing cease for at least a year as the biggest factory was destroyed.
