[QUOTE="Dre L, post: 545573, member: 57218"] We did, we insulted him actually. Although Cuban President Fidel Castro has said through the media he is willing to send more than 1,000 doctors to treat victims of the hurricane, the State Department official said no official offer has come in from the Cuban government. (Full story) "Fidel grandstanding on a tarmac with his doctors in front of a camera is not considered a legitimate offer of U.S. assistance," the official said. "There has been zero communication from anyone in the Cuban government offering anything specific. The Cuban government has our number if it really wants to help." The United States has accepted aid from another leader with whom it has had strained relations, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who offered $1 million from Citgo, Venezuela's state-run oil corporation. Another offer being made by Venezuela to supply search-and-rescue assistance has been made directly to the state government in Louisiana. I don't know, but if someone offers 1000 docs on TV, you could always have someone take him up on it, and work out the paperwork on the side. I think they're afraid the docs would defect and we'd have 1000 cuban doctors in the US permanently, OH NO, it's not like they're programmers or IT staff, they're just doctors. [/QUOTE]
