A strong earthquake collapsed homes and buildings in eastern Turkey Sunday morning. Casualty report to come.

The mid-day earthquake was recorded at 7.3 on the Richter scale, according to a Greek news agency, and 6.6 by the Associated Press.

It's all in the S/Wave....which for this EQ the world's webicorders depict a much more reasonable one...lol

As I said, it’s hard to believe.

My BIL is in Turkey right now, tending to his Mother. Western Turkey luckily, in Izmir, I think/hope!

Bush’s fault.

Pray for those affected esp those trapped.

“about what a foreign policy ace we now have for a president.”

Easy for the unknown: Borrow money from China to give to another enemy.

How long until the UN complains that the US isn’t giving their fair share of aid?

[Carry_Okie]

Occupy AP, right on!

I'd show, but only if there was a follow-up campaign to occupy the universities.

I don’t have a clue. If I were in charge, I’d demand that we leave the UN, and that they vacate the headquarters in Manhattan. Then I’d ask people to come up with ideas on what to do with it, like turn it into apartments or a regular office building or whatever.

Then I’d tell people that we’d send out aid only if it’s a natural disaster. No more sending out money on a regular basis. That needs to stay in the country.

But I would just tell the UN to shove it. I hate Commies.

Let’s send the Israeli Navy to help. They’ll only bring paint balls for self-defense, of course.

Why is what happens in the dusty streets of Turkey, *breaking* news in America?

We flipped on the radio this morning, and they immediately led the news hour with news from Turkey, as if this occurred in Nevada, followed by some news from Libya, as if it were in Atlanta. Why is this not 2nd or back page news? Why is all this foreign news being shoved down our throats on a daily basis?

What happens in these far flung foreigner countries is now breaking news in the U.S.A?

Actually, it's every single morning now we get what they call, "Breaking" news from all over the planet shoved down our throats...All this while America circles the drain.

I find this very odd.

The peasants build their houses by stacking loose rocks for walls and then there’s an earth quake, stones fall and kill people. Then, these rocks are stacked for walls again, then there’s another earthquake, rocks fall and kill a bunch of people, repeat process over and over till you are tired. So, is this where the definition of insanity was created?

Insanity = Islam

Instead of trying to learn from nature and improve their lot, Muslims just shrug and say it's "Allah's will".

I join in prayer for the victims of this disaster.

Uhhhh, what did they say about Israel?
