Bush administration's perfect post-Katrina storm gaining strength
By Larry Chin
Online Journal Associate Editor

September 21, 2005—According to the official version, the "incompetent" Bush administration bungled the Katrina relief effort. Wrong. This administration has gone about its business like the world-class gangsters that they are. They have, willfully and quite "competently," done all the things that really matter to them, and disregarded what does not.

Bush has been Bush. When Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi demanded that Bush fire (now-gone) FEMA chief Michael Brown, Bush blinked and answered, "Why should I do that? What has he done wrong?" He was being honest.

Contrary to initial reports suggesting that Dick Cheney was "out to lunch" during the hurricane, he was placing personal phone calls to Southern Pines Electric Power Association, ordering power restoration to Collins Pipeline, diverting power from rural hospitals and other local utilities in the process. Halliburton/Kellogg Brown & Root swept into the area soon afterwards, and so did Cheney. Cheney, doing what Cheney does. <snip>

If the past two weeks have not provided more than ample proof that this administration is delivering more hell in the wake of Katrina, Bush's speech provided smelly icing on a huge and rotten cake. In his speech, Bush said that he considers "detailed emergency planning to be a national security priority." Bush has ordered Homeland Security to conduct "reviews of emergency plans in every major city in America." And he has put the malignant Karl Rove in charge of the "reconstruction". <snip>
