    ^ read this

    ** Another note: for those talking about the levy system... gov't funding has been cut there for the past 5-10years for projects such as that. How can you fix something you have no money for??? This is a known gov't problem that has never been resolved now 1000's must die b/c assholes in DC rather spend 1 billion dollars a day in Iraq.

    okay well, then you are gonna have to blame PEOPLE too, because they destroyed the natural levy system, the marshlands.


    I read that article....and having lots of family from Louisiana and visiting the area at least 3 times a year....I can say that the people are doing it to themselves...acting crazy and somehow got the notion if they cause more trouble and uprising that help will come sooner.

    look at Mississippi....look at Long Beach....completely wiped off the map, yet the surviors arent raping, killing, or shooting at anyone....look at gulfport, a VERY seedy area because of those casinos, yet you dont see any violence going on.

    I love Louisiana with all my heart, it's where I have spent summers as a kid and where I learned to fish and crab trap. but when you cross over the i-10 from Slidell, the area is the ghetto...the people tend to do what they want, and it never mattered how many police patroled. So now that they are hot, tired, and hungry, they can just do whatever they want? They can just randomly attack SAR volunteers to take their supplies and run off? they can just randomly blame the GOVT for not doing enough....

    facts are facts, they placed themselves in danger....and at this point, the GOVT is doing what it can, it might be slow, and it might not be what everyone wants....but at least it's getting done.

    I talked to one of my cousins and he said the people of Slidell/St Tammany Parish are happy that the i-10 bridge is out, because they knew if it was up, chaos and trouble would flow over....

    I'm going off subject, but alot of us dont know whats going on and only getting our info from the media....which can be good and bad...because they only show what they want us to see.

    flame on
    Dude this is one time I am going to call you an idiot. The levee's were built to withstand a Cat. 3 hurricare back in the 60's and before. Bush was not president then and had no control over that. They had an army corp engineer who said on TV that the levee's were built to withstand a Cat. 3 because it was cost effective. So if you want to jump on a band wagon and blame someone, blame the entire system that originally designed them not the current president. Even if he would have assigned the money in '02 to upgrade the levee's they would not have been done in time to prevent this. Do you not think that this has come up before now about the levee's. Experts for years have predicted that if N.O. took a direct hit that it would wipe them out.

    Right, because wasting hundreds of man-hours and helicopters to take the president and security detail to a region that is woefully un-enforced and rife with wanton violence is a good idea.

    Do you people even think before this crap spews out of your fingers onto the keyboard?

Do you have ANY idea how many freaking sob stories there are from this group or that group who doesn't think they got enough federal funding that year? If I had a nickel every time someone could blame a problem on not having enough federal money, I'd have trillions and would pay off the national debt as a favor, just so people like you would stop your inane, irrational bitching.

    2) You say that the money was taken directly from the relief effort to fund the war (tax cuts are also a popular source of blame). However, budgets don't work that way, and I bet you know it. Why didn't you say they went to fund education (there was the biggest increase in history for education in last year's budget)? Because you don't know how to think. Additionally, some of these biggest cuts didn't come till 2006. It's not 2006 yet.

    3) WMD's -were- found in Iraq. Iraq -DID- have ties to Al Queda. Unfortunately, it wasn't a massive 500,000 gallon stash of anthrax and there was no evidence linking Iraq to 9/11, so choose to ignore reality.

    Sorry, I didn't even vote for the asshole, but you don't get to make everyone stupider with idiotic comments and not get called on it.

    obviously funds from the war had to come from somewhere... But when the war itself was unjust... NO WMD's were found mofo... NOT THIS TIME AROUND... show proof?... yeah thats right. Proven ties to Al-Queda?... shut your ass up

    No, they don't have to come from somewhere, that's why we have a much higher debt than before. We just borrow it.

    Now I'm going to make you look like even more of an idiot:

    1) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,120137,00.html
    A sarin canister was rigged as an IED, it came from an Iraqi warhead. It could have killed upwards of 50,000. There was mustard gas found also. Oops, you lose.

    2) http://www.gpoaccess.gov/911/
    The 9/11 report in it's entirety. You didn't read it. All you read was dailykos. The 9/11 report specifically states that Iraq DID have ties to Al Queda, and lists the specific links, but says that Iraq did not have any demonstrateable ties to Al Queda's efforts leading to 9/11. You lose again.

    AND, just because I don't trust you to be intelligent enough to handle this post without pretty pictures, here's a photo of Iraq's Spymaster Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir AL-ANI meeting with 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta in prague.

    really it took how many days to do a fly over there??? are you fucking mad, the president of the USA, is the most powerful man in the world, if it takes him almost a week to get to a disaster area then there is a severe problem. it would be different if he put effort 1st to securing the area, but he has not. i don't know what news you have been watching but shit has been crazy all week. Where is the Commander and chief? playing golf? having lunch??? vacation???

    talk about shit spewing from fingers maybe you should wipe the shit from your eyes and take a look. :jerkit:

    " Iraq did not have any demonstrateable ties to Al Queda's efforts leading to 9/11" ... hrm... a country that hates us so much, wonder why... IMMINENT THREAT?
    but either way Bush lacks leadership skills. off to work. Have your opinions I stand by mines, Bush is a terrible leader.

    You just made my point for me. NO was very unprepared for a disaster of this magnitude. They were not reacting fast enough, or with enough infrastructure, despite the fact that there IS no manpower shortage.

    So, that being said, do you think it's a great idea to take the commander in chief and fly him in while everyone doesn't have their shit together? Do you have any idea the kind of manpower and money that go into security measures for him when he goes to a disaster like this? The NG and military has just NOW begun to try to take care of the looter problem, looters who were shooting at police officers.

    Yeah, let's fly the prez down there and have him take a little raft trip through the streets.

    Look, there are many, many ways to illustrate the failings of this president. Being a retard is not one of them.

    lol your kidding right... Fox News, hmmm they aren't biased on anything they are the same people showing happy familys out of New Orleans and not the disaster we have on our hands.

    WOW they found A Canister... woot woot, it has taken over 200+ billion dollars to find 1 empty canister, but money well spent to find WMD.

    The Iraqis were very capable of producing such shells in the 1980s but it's not as clear that they continued after the first Gulf War.

    Unfortunately, your opinion was based of erroneous information fed to you by leftist blogs.

    This is what happens when you just regurgitate what's spoon fed to you and don't do your own homework.

    Like I said, I don't think he's a very good president at all, and I never voted for him, but NOBODY gets to spew misinformation as a cornerstone of their oh-so-fashionable bush-bashing and get away with it on my watch, because it makes you part of the problem, not the solution.

    A) There are families that have gotten out of NO. I won't argue if you say that the response has thus far been quite lackluster, but the media will portray it in the worst possible light, just like they do with Iraq.

    B) Ooops, you made a mistake. You think fox news is my only source?

    http://www.ngwrc.org/index.cfm?Page=Article&ID=861
    http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/17/iraq.main/ and scroll down.

    The canister wasn't empty, poindexter. Neither was the mustard gas. Neither were the several tons of enriched uranium (you know, the kind you make when you have a clandestine nuclear weapons program) that they just recently shipped out.

    the reason its not secure is b/c Bush has us spread too thin, we are at war w/ 2 countries, and he didn't leave enough balls to defend his own country from mother nature

    ya it takes tons of security measures to do a fly over in a gov't helicopter that has bullet proof plating on it. we aren't in iraq, and the citizens aren't using RPGs

    E for effort keep the BS coming

    You seem to be under the impression that you are making intellectual headway here.

    How does one, exactly, 'defend his own country from mother nature'? Are you seriously this stupid?

    Yes, we are at war. No, there is no shortage of manpower. There WAS an unacceptable delay in getting them there, but there is certainly no lack of manpower. There are also provisions against using the military as a law enforcement tool, except under specific circumstances (it is illegal otherwise). They just decided the circumstances existed a couple of days ago.

    Ok, genius, now the helicoper's flown in and landed. How do you transport him to affected areas? Is he still in the helicopter when he's surveying the damage? What are the several hundred people necessary to constitute his security detail (from protection to logistics to transportation to communication) doing? Oh, that's right, they're not rescuing people, allowing people like you to complain even more about how things aren't getting done fast enough.

    there have been random idiots walking around a state with guns shooting off at helicopters and police stations and you want them to fly the president of the country down into that? i understand completely the delay because they waited until they felt it was safe for him to be there and then they brought him in...you don't toss your president into a pile of wolves and say hey go check on the lamb and see if it's ok

    Some people here are under the impression that:

    1) The president is personally directing the distribution of every bottle of water, and

    2) That you can't adequately 'face' a problem in the year 2005 unless you're there personally. Because things like telephones, the internet, television, and a massive government communication infrastructure don't exist. You have to -be- there, see. Right away. You couldn't, say, be working somewhere else to help facilitate a 10.5 billion dollar relief package to start them off, or anything.

    God, this is like the 'My Pet Goat' retards all over again.

    well they could of defended themselves from mother nature if the gov't put our warnings sooner and made available transportation ready for those need assistance. that wouldn't of been so hard considering we knew about this storm 2 weeks ago, and if the projected path was correct New Orleans already knew they couldn't with stand a catgory 4 hurricane.

    wow your 2nd paragraph made sense... we have man power yet there is no man power there??? does that mean we have man power??? well guess what there isn't a shortage of troops... they are all over the globe, just not there...

    who said "land"? he just got down there today to even survey... it took all week for him to schedule a flight to survey his own country from the air :jerkit:

    you guys crack me up... the president has stealth bombers, apache helicopters, & millions of other weapons at his disposal. its amazing every news station around the globe is there, but he can't make it down. by the way w/ all of the money spent on air force one and you guys think it can be shot down by normal fire arms :jerkit:

    I'm sorry if i sound like i'm ranting, but alot of blame needs to go all up/down the chain of command from the Mayor to the President. The head of FEMA in an interview yesterday said he didn't know anything about the situation at the DOME. Com'on that is the biggest lie i've heard in a long time. Its not 5 minutes go by when you don't see an image from the situation down there. We knew on day one the dome sprung a leak, lost power, no ac, etc...

    this whole situation is just sad. anyone listen to 750am Neal b. today?

    I did listen paul....I also listened to Rush Limbaugh too, the Director of FEMA is simply avoiding direct answers....granted roads are out and unpassable, FEMA has billions of dollars in equipment and yet they cant make it to N.O in less than 5 days?

    Yes, because weather prediction is such an exact science. And how much warning would have been enough? There was a mandatory call to evacuate. These people, by and large, chose to stay for one reason or another, or could not transport themselves out. Either way, all this 'woulda-shoulda-coulda' without ANY basis in reality is a waste of our time and your brain cells. This is the largest rescue effort in american HISTORY, and NOBODY could have predicted that with the data they had available.

    wow your 2nd paragraph made sense... we have man power yet there is no man power there??? does that mean we have man power??? well guess what there isn't a shortage of troops... they are all over the globe, just not there...
    Wrong again. I'll go ahead and spell it out for you since you, like everyone else spewing garbage on this thread, has serious critical thinking problems.

    1) There are plenty of National Guardsman and military personell stateside that have been deployed and activated. There is no shortage stateside, everyone up and down the chain have acknowledged this. They have also acknowledged that the efforts to move these people into situations where they can help have been unacceptable. So manpower isn't the problem, it's infrastructure. Troops are rotated back home all the time. Many of the guardsmen going to NO now just came back from Iraq. I also know quite a few reservists that haven't even been activated. So, your little logical fallacy of 'we can't send people because the're everywhere else' is just plain wrong. The sooner you accept this fact, the less stupid you will be.

    2) Up till the last 24 hours, people have been trying to tackle the violence and looting issue as a law enforcement problem. This is ineffective, and it must be treated as a military problem. However, it is expressly illegal to use the US military for law enforcement actions on it's own soil. It is called the Posse Comitatus Act: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act Certain situations must exist to supercede it, and this is likely why it's taken a handful of days.

    who said "land"? he just got down there today to even survey... it took all week for him to schedule a flight to survey his own country from the air :jerkit:
    So? Why are you even bothering pounding this point? The region was not safe for the president, the rescue and enforcement efforts were haphazard and disorganized, and he and congress just signed over 10.5 billion in initial relief? I suppose you'd rather have had him pootling around looking at damage or something? What difference does it make? Will having the president there suddenly restore order out of lawlessness? Will it magically make the rescue efforts 5000% more efficient? Please. Irrational, idiotic Bush-bashing is what makes it difficult to address the real, legitimate reasons of his failed presidency. You are part of the problem, not the solution.

    seriously you have to be the dumbest person on the planet... IF TROOPS AREN'T THERE HOW DOES THAT HELP??? the president can send troops to any city at any time he sees fit... you can drag up all of the BS laws you want, but even in 911 we had troops there on day one.

    10.5 billion bahhh thats fucking change considering we are paying 1 billion a day in iraq, and again what is money to people who are starving?

    I see you dont want me or anyone to lay off your stupid ass, So what reasons do you have for not liking? All you can do is say +1 for what someone said but cant seem to ina smart way that has facts to back it up say what reasons you have to not like anything.... so why dont you take a step back, breathe, go to google, and then copy and paste some article you can find that bash's Bush so you can then try and say you typed it and sound smart, for once atleast.
