The Indonesian government warned foreigners yesterday it could not guarantee their safety outside Banda Aceh and Meulaboh, closest to the offshore quake that created the tsunami, and yesterday said foreign soldiers delivering aid should leave by March...
why wait?
According to this report the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which serves as a key base for relief operations, had to move outside Indonesian territorial waters off Banda Aceh because Indonesians objected to US training flights.
HUH?
Oh, wait! I get it!
Why don't they just come right out and say it, rather than beat around the bush??
"Give us your damn money; leave the food, building supplies and medicine - and get the hell out"
Oh, but then I guess because they said some version of 'thank you' that makes it all okay??
