230 Million to Lebanon through a Charity

President Bush has started a public/private partnership to provide 230 million dollars to help rebuild Lebanon. This started as four CEOs sent to Lebanon to see where they needed help. Today, Bush put a dollar amount to it and set out that a charity will administer the cash. This will certainly help the US credibility overseas...however it is not getting any press play. You sure don't see France coughing up 230 million to help out....they cannot even get 2000 soldiers.
