Where the HELL is Cheney, the guru of Office of National Preparedness??

President Bush on Domestic Preparedness....

May 8, 2001

Therefore, I have asked Vice President Cheney to oversee the development of a coordinated national effort so that we may do the very best possible job of protecting our people from catastrophic harm.

I have also asked Joe Allbaugh, the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to create an Office of National Preparedness. This Office will be responsible for implementing the results of those parts of the national effort overseen by Vice President Cheney that deal with consequence management. Specifically it will coordinate all Federal programs dealing with weapons of mass destruction consequence management within the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Justice, and Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal agencies. The Office of National Preparedness will work closely with state and local governments to ensure their planning, training, and equipment needs are addressed. FEMA will also work closely with the Department of Justice, in its lead role for crisis management, to ensure that all facets of our response to the threat from weapons of mass destruction are coordinated and cohesive. I will periodically chair a meeting of the National Security Council to review these efforts.

No governmental responsibility is more fundamental than protecting the physical safety of our Nation and its citizens.

5. Yeah, to see if they have anyone left here to go and start

rebuilding New Orleans. They've just got to hire more people.

[lebkuchen]

12. Maybe we could hire Coalition Forces to help us clean up?

Countries who have joined the Coalition of the Willing have been doing a great job in Iraq. I know, because none of them are getting killed.

[Retrograde]

6. off helping Laura with the gang initiatives? (n/t)

If you see Rudy G in your town, leave, quickly.

11. "Hanging loose." He got the memo from Bush

Everybody, now, do the "hang loose." End of Summer 2205 BushCo Dance Craze

Sing along with the refrain: "We must all hang loose together, or we will surely hang loose alone."

[elehhhhna]

13. Cheney: I didn't plan this, I ain't fixing it.

[lebkuchen]

14. Cheney: If I can't monetarily benefit from it, why should I care?

[SodoffBush]

15. Seriously. Where is Cheney? FEMA is part of his job.

What's he doing? Organizing Candy Stripers?

[shance]

16. It seems to speak volumes. Why does he lay low when disasters occur?
