1. That was all that was going through

my mind while watching the FEMA director last night stating that they had no idea.

"They" knew.

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Of course they knew

and this is the premia facia evidence that proves it.

[Tesla]

4. He was still hiding from Cindy!!!

[mirandaod]

3. No one could have imagined???

Hmmm, where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, from Condoleeza Rice after the planes hit the WTC - no one could have imagined terrorists using planes as missiles.

[opihimoimoi]

5. The EXCUSE ADMINISTRATION....its been all excuses, no beef, not even tuna

[MADem]

18. All that tells me is that these fuckers are lacking in imagination

When you wargame a scenario, every possible angle is supposed to go on the table--no idea is too crazy or too unlikely. And you do your contingency planning from there.

I have noticed in this administration that when scenarios are dumped from the mix, it is usually for political or economic reasons--the numbers will not fit their rosy view, so they pretend it never hit the table in the first place. Assholes!

[tuvor]

23. Yeah, who's ever heard of kamikazes, anyway?

[babylonsister]

6. Nom. for all those, including my husband, who

thinks the gov't acted ASAP. And I'm working on the husband's mindset.

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. Yes, everyone needs to see this

Send a copy to Anderson Cooper, I bet he'll wave it around on national TV.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. I think so too

He was already pretty pissed from what I've read. This wouldn't help at all and I'm sure he'll tell everybody he knows. Definitley spam him with this information. Maybe it will really open people's eyes as to what so many of us have been saying for years: they don't give a damn unless you gave them money.

[elehhhhna]

8. 5th nom. Another Aug PDB ignored. Bastard.

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Thanks and please send this to as many people

as possible.

Bush stummed while New Orleans drowned.

[elehhhhna]

11. DONE! Thnaks for a great op.

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. kick

GD's going way too fast, this needs to get out there.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

12. I just heard him say it...m'f***ing s.o.b.

Too furious to watch the rest of the interview...MKJ

:mad:

[youthere]

13. How dare you cloud this issue with relevant facts.

Have you no shame? :sarcasm:

[OneGrassRoot]

14. THE LIES ARE APPALLING!!!!!

I was just going to post a thread about him blatantly lying on national TV!!!! "No one could have anticipated the levees being breached"........anyone who watched the pre-storm coverage heard that was a possibility over and over!!!!


When they know they are taped....that their words are recorded for all to see.....HOW CAN THEY CONTINUE TO LIE SO BLATANTLY AND NOT BE CALLED ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am really in a tizzy over here. I'm appalled. Oh, and how he said we don't need help from other countries, that we can take care of our own. Fucking cowboy mentality is running us into the ground.

If I run into anyone supporting this administration today, it'll be hard not to rip their friggin face off.

:evilfrown:

[DoYouEverWonder]

15. Because they are getting what they wanted

and they think they are untouchable at this point. Try removing Bush from power now, good luck.

[peekaloo]

17. Hell my 7 year old niece asked me to explain what a levee was

and what all this meant on Saturday!

Lying motherfuckers!

[central scrutinizer]

19. Only Terry Schiavo is important enought

to interrupt a presidential vacation. He has to get on with his life.

[magnolia]

20. They couldn't imagine airplanes flying into buildings either!

They re-write reality everyday to fit their agenda.

[txaslftist]

21. Lack of Imagination seems to be the hallmark of this administration.

Except when it comes to imagining a western democratic paradise the middle of the middle east.

[mcscajun]

22. Well, there goes the National Weather Service.

BushCo only knows how to do two things well:

1) Blame the Messenger!

2) Cut funding and fire their asses!

Truth from the National Weather Service means items 1 and 2 must be put in play as swiftly as possible.
