The disaster WAS bush's fault with PROOF

[4dmin]

You're right, your first comment was on page 5, not 7. I think my point still stands.

And, as for your second comment, you do know that New Orleans is in Louisiana, and the seat of the federal government is DC, right? So this doesn't help your case when you say you were blaming the local governments first.

In this thread, you went right for Bush, and had nobody called you on it, you would have stayed there.

Do we really need to have a discussion about how many times you were wrong or shown to be misinformed in this thread? 'empty sarin canister' ring a bell?

page 5? nice try #33 post was on page 2.

by the way you want to talk about your sarin gas canister again... let me guess you think it was full, did you happen to read it was a shell they found??? what is a shell??? ok must of been full :jerkit:

"It was a weapon that we believe was stocked from the ex-regime time and it had been thought to be an ordinary artillery shell set up to explode like an ordinary IED and basically from the detection of that and when it exploded, it indicated that it actually had some sarin in it," Kimmitt said.

Post #33 was on page 3 (for me at least) and didn't mention anything about the local governments:

Bush is a fucking idiot and i think his lack of resolution for the on going problem is a disgrace for everything we as americans stand for... we have a region now that is just as bad if not worse off then a 3rd world country

** 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.

OMG ROFL. I seriously could not keep myself from laughing when I read this.

Dictionary definition of 'shell':

As you can see, just because something is called a 'shell' does not mean it is empty. In this case, it was filled with enough Sarin to have killed about 50,000 people had the chemicals mixed properly.

ALL ARTILLERY ROUNDS ARE CALLED SHELLS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

Why don't we go out to the practice range and we'll lob a few 'shells' from a 155mm cannon at you, you'll be fine, since you know, shells are empty. LOLOLOLZ omg.

The usually hard outer covering

ya they found a shell the outer portion... it had exploded near a base. was it full no? you said it was a "CANISTER"!!! like they were finding stock piles of chemical weapons.

In the shell is a canister that holds two chemicals, when the shell explodes and is mixed, you get sarin gas.

I never said they found stockpiles. We haven't found stockpiles.. though it is worth noting that Hussein's entire Anthrax stockpile would fit into a large suitcase (though it could kill millions).

But the fact is, WMD's HAVE been found. Sarin has been found, mustard gas has been found, and a few tons of low-enriched uranium have all been found, amongst other things.

Why didn't we have this kind of problem with Hurricane Andrew?

Why didn't we have this kind of problem with Hurricane Andrew?

The flood waters were able to receed on andrew and crews could get in to clean up, N.O. does not have the luxury since it is basically a big soup bowl.

iI went through Andrew, Florida doesnt get hit like this and flood because florida is flat and at or above sea level in all parts. New Orleans is BELOW sea leavel, meaning when the water breaks in, it has no place to go but up... so thats why they have 15+ feet of water now. The pumps they have that are supposed to suck water out are on th eground, which means when the ground floods so did the pumps.

True, but I am talking about the response time. I was there as well, in a shelter, on 163rd street. Granted I was not around "ground zero", but aid did definitely come quick and everybody was well taken care off within 48 hours.....The major problem was with water and ice distribution and price gouging (chain saws etc) but people did not go to the extreme (looting and killing each other). There was also a mandatory curfew, even as far up as dade county and people respected that as well.....
