Here is an indication of how it is going to play out..Delay is already pushing the responsibility onto the local authorities and implying that because Louisiana has a democratic governor, their response was worse. Watch for this to be repeated as mantra until it become accepted fact.

How can they get away with this spin? Man, this administration can feed the public the biggest, most obvious, lines of bullshit and everyone buys it. Remember WMD?
Now they are gonna try and wipe our memories of dozens of local officials litteraly begging the federal govt. to come to NO. Both before and after the chaos. Ugh... it makes me sick that I can live in a country full of such hypocritical, money-mongering, snakes and liers!

I noticed, even before 9/11, that this administration doesn't even bother making their lies plausible. I could never figure whether they felt that the American public was too dumb or too powerless to call them on it; either way, I always thought it showed the extreme contempt that the Bush administration has for the American people.

Its just because Bush doesn't care about black people.

He sent them a hurricane because he didn't sign Kyoto.

Tal, do you have any plans for substantively addressing the OP or are you just going to make contentless asides throughout the thread?

Thank you.Actually that has been my Avatar since day one (or close to it). I never put up the eagle one. Everytime I looked in my profile, the 1VB "coin" was listed there, but the other pic posted. I have no idea why or why it is now displaying correctly.

Tal, do you have any plans for substantively addressing the OP or are you just going to make contentless asides throughout the thread? No. It's pretty ridiculous IMO. Political hackery all the way, even in the Nation's worst natural disaster ever. It isn't worth the effort. Some people simply hate Bush and blame him for everything. They aren't interested in any debate or rebuttal. It's just hate..hate...hate... Start putting forth ideas. Then, maybe, conservatives will start giving you the time of day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well to be more correct with your analogy, shouldn't we then divert our military to bomb some obscure creek somewhere, designated by Bush and Co as a major "fountain" of water related emergencies? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, and that creek would just happen to be flowing over one of the largest oil fields on Earth.

quote: Can you please explain how the OP is solely "political hackery all the way"? I thought it actually involeved the discussion of facts, timelines, and the federal response to Katrina, but maybe I'm mistaken. It would be a major coup for you to skewer holmes by pointing out exactly where he is just playing politics in the OP, and since I didn't really read it that way, maybe you can explain to me the specific parts that seemed like hackery to you?
quote: Yes, that's true, but at least three people in this thread who do not like Bush have also said that he is not to blame for everything, so you wouldn't be talking about us. It seems to me that you don't want to trouble yourself with actually considering the issues, so you just paint all criticisms of Bush and his appointees to be misguided because of where they come from instead of evaluating the quality of the information regardless of the source. Some people just love Bush no matter what he does and never blame him for anything (which is the topic of this thread). Can you honestly say that his and his FEMA and DHS appointees' responses to Katrina were exemplary? This message has been edited by schrafinator, 09-07-2005 10:23 AM

Ack, you're right. New headline: US TO CONTINUE BOMBING TIGRIS AND EUPHRATES RIVER "We'll stop the water flowing into the ocean over there before the waters reach our shores," says Bush. He added by edit: "Our oceans can no longer protect us. In fact, they may be our worst enemy. Fighting the ocean is hard work." This message has been edited by docpotato, 09-07-2005 10:23 AM
