Bush's friends will make billions off New Orleans.

[Elwood P Dowd]

Those Pioneers and Rangers that raised a fortune for Bush are chomping at the bit to get in on the action. Bush, Rove, and company are probably losing sleep with all the hours they're spending going through the lists
of CEOs and companies that will be awarded billions in taxpayer dollars.
The vault is open - come on down boys and have at it! Oh, and the oil company CEOs have to be ecstatic. What a windfall for BushCo Oil, War, and Disaster Inc.

1. Maybe they'll come back from Iraq for the 'reconstruction'

Our 14 Iraqi bases are almost completed.... I predict a civil war could 'force' their withdrawl.

At least they will still have work.

2. Since you mentioned "windfall"

Why not "TAX" those bastards in BIG OIL for those WINDFALL PROFITS
Hell,their more flush with cash than New Orleans will be flush water !!!

3. Bush backers

are crying all the way to the bank. Bushco has really come thru for them.

4. Not even Uncle Sam will have the money to rebuild New Orleans.

I'm afraid a genuine economic meltdown will begin tonight.

And that's to say nothing of the thousands who will die or the history that will be lost.
