What if this was a Terrorist Attack?

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

What if Katrina was a terrorist attack? Barring the fact that we all knew this was coming and had days to prepare, even after 4 days, there is still CHAOS in New Orleans. CHAOS.

WE ARE NOT SAFER UNDER BUSH.

We are not prepared for anything catastrophic to happen to an American city, be it natural or man-made.

Even after we created DHS and other things to protect us, it is clear we are TOTALLY VULNERABLE.

Folks, we have heard for four years that bush is fighting to make us safer. WHAT THE FUCK HAS HE BEEN DOING?!?!?!?!

this is simply a DERELICTION OF DUTY.

Indict, Impeach, Imprison!

1. And I am pounding that message into the brains of any

Repuke within earshot! He had FOUR days to do something and he strummed his guitar and ate cake. The fucker.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

3. And hes still smirking and not doing ANYTHING to help

:grr:

I am saddend and furious by all of this. There is an American city underwarter, millions homeless, thousands dead, and all bush can do is look from his plane.

ASSHATS.

[Systematic Chaos]

2. There'd be only one difference of any consequence

That is, instead of this farting around the administration is doing concerning Katrina, we'd have been put under Martial Law the second the first reports hit the airwaves. There'd still be lots of chaos and death, though. :shrug:

:sarcasm:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

4. But who would enforce the martial law?

I mean there is no real troop/authority presence in NO. Officers are being shot, people dying in the one place where they were supposed to take refuge. What in the hell have we been doing for 4 years?!?!??!

[hang a left]

5. If it actually was a terrorist attack....

FEMA would have already been there for a mock catastrophe drill. They would have easily been able to switch gears from drill to real.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

6. LMAO!

switch? dont you mean carry on the "drill"?

[MountainLaurel]

7. We'd. Be. Fucked.

And pretty much anybody whose been following the issue over the past four years would be telling you the same thing. Politics and greed have trumped safety in myriad ways, over and over again.

I write this about three miles from the White House. The idea of what could happen if there was a major attack scares the bejeebus out of me, and is one of several reasons why my family is hoping to exit the area over the next year or so.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

9. We. are. fucked.

I mean, NO is worse then anything we can imagine. and we haven't even gotten past 4 days yet and things are just descending further and further into hell.

Fuck these power/money hungry assholes in power.

[mod mom]

8. Or another natural disaster like an earthquake on the W Coast?

the bu$h administration has allowed our country to become third world through gross corruption, negligence and incompetence!

IMPEACH THE MF BASTARD AND SHIP HIS SORRY ASS TO HAVE A DIALOGUE WITH THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ-ON THE STREETS OF BAGHDAD!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

10. Oh yea! what if something else happens?

like your scenario or ANOTHER hurricane hitting the gulf coast?!?!?!

I mean, 4 years, and we get chaos thats worse then what happened on the morning of 9/11.

[cascadiance]

11. If it was a terrorist attack, he'd be looking to attack someone back!

That would be Bush's priority, instead of helping out those affected! With this crisis, he's frustrated, because there's noone he can bomb to make people happy that "something's being done about it"...

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

12. Sad but true.

When did our response to tragedy turn into revenge? I mean there are AMERICANS who need help, and bush refuses to give them aid. DISGUSTING.
