4. You are no 'fellow', Herr *
You are reptile, at best.


There's a very telling phrase he used.

“The truth of the matter is, we can work together and will, but when disaster strikes, the first people that you rely upon, the people that matter most, are your friends,” Mr. Bush said at another point. “It’s friends helping friends that turns out to make an enormous difference in saving lives and helping to get by the trauma of the first days.”


This is a quaint way of saying that you're on your own.


“A year ago, I committed our federal government to help you,” he said. “I said we have a duty to help the local people recover and rebuild. I meant what I said.”

I find the phrase 'local people' to be of interest, and curious at best. These are US Citizens, not a remote tribe in Borneo.
