They have accepted the offers
Ms. Rice's statement is pretty unequivocal, they will not refuse any help that will alleviate the suffering of those affected by Katrina.

Another reason Americans are none too plused over the administration's handling of Katrina and the relief effort?

That was turned down before Ms. Rice's statement shots.
The Russian offer came on Tuesday
The administration's backlip came on Thursday

No I do not think so, in this case the Russians only wanted to rescue their own citizens

BTW how long do people think help from any of the other countries would take to arrive at the US?

I find it to be VERY interesting that Saudi Arabia isn't on that list...
The offers blur political lines. Cuba and Venezuela, for instance, have offered to help despite differences with Washington. Oil giant Saudi Arabia and tiny countries like Dominica are among the nations making pledges.

I am sorry....is this the same Russian government that could not "rescue" their own people stranded in a submarine at the bottom of the ocean?..... And that incident didn't happen just once.

It's funny how brainwashed some people get from media, especially from Talk radio.
Wake up brainwashed US citizens, turn your trash talking radios off before your brains turn to mud. Systematic propagation will be the downfall of US all.
