Don't know about a list online, but O'Rielly had a list. China sent 20 million. Cuba sent one plane with some supplies. Chavez sent a search team. Russia sent 0. Saudi's sent 0. Haven't heard about the EU yet. I'm sure iran will be happy to send a few thousand hezbollah fighters to help with security.
They are all contributing a drop in the bucket compared to the US which has already committed billions and 10 thousand military personnel.

Saudi Arabia has plenty of money they better step up ! I'm not surprized about Russia ...commies seem to be stingy on the giving department.

Heck,I heard China only sent 5 million!!! I'm sure the people of these countries will give generously but so far what a lot of governments are giving is less than impressive...besides Britain of course. I saw on the news that Russia was sending 20 docs and a mobile medical unit:lame2: Although the docs are badly needed,what about water,medical supplies,food?!!!
Then I hear Madonna is sending $250,000...that's it? How much is that woman worth?! The people in charge of the Golden Globes are sending $100,000...what crap!!!

Sorry bout that,
1. I'm gonna have to disagree with Ronny here.
2. I don't think our military is what needed in Haiti, at all, they need housing, they need construction crews.
3. After its bull dozed.
4. Also I think the military lobbing bombs on ayabs is never a bad idea, maybe its just me, but I want that to continue.
5. Until they make a truce, beg for conditions, etc.
6. I think we lob more bombs in Yemen, yah men the terrorists ayabs are there too, lets light em up!
7. All in all, I don't give much credence to Ron Paul, just another strange person like Ross Perot.

Not sure of all the countries involved but I know Al Sharpton is, damn wonder where he was when Fl got hit with all those Hurricanes ?
I also heard Rodham Clinton take a swipe at GW, said Haiti won't be handled like New Orleans was, then Obama asks GW and slick Willie to run things, once again Hilliary puts her foot in her mouth
Got to wonder if Obama would be going all out like this if it wasn't so dark down there, but he did take time out from helping the Brothers and Sisters in Haiti to go try to get a Dem in Mass. guess getting his health care passed comes first :eek:
