Only Bush* could take a disaster of biblical proportions and make it WORSE

[goodboy]

It's like a holocaust.

A genocide.

1. NO, it is NOT a genocide.

Get a dictionary. Get an encyclopedia. LEARN.

It's Mass MURDER. It's manslaughter. It's criminally negligent homicide. It's depraved indifference to human life. But it is NOT genocide.

You weaken both the case and the word by using it wrongly.

2. Whatever it is...a lotta peeps died/gonna die needlessly

It all goes back to Bush, he appoints some Friend without any experience in Disaster Management to its top position and voila, this is what you get, poor performance...\\

Bush brought in ROOKIES for the TOP JOBS and this is the result....

They are of Pony League Caliber/Level but in charge of Major League shit...Equates to very POOR ODDS for success.

3. Do you think this constitutes Dereliction of Duty? I mean, considering

that they KNEW that if NOLA took a direct hit from a hurricane, it'd be the worst disaster imaginable, so he cut the funding. They KNEW that the levees needing improvments, so he cut the funding.

THEY KNEW THE FUCKING STORM WAS COMING, and had NO FUCKING PLAN!!!!

People have been going without food, water, and medicine for 5 days.

Why is it that we can drop supplies to the Iraqi's, but not to our own people? Is it because the National Guard is in Iraq?

6. Dereliction of duty? This is the dictionary definition of it, for sure!!!!

[goodboy]

4. chill, man, I was angry...I understand my mistake, and I thank you for

pointing it out to me.

5. Criminally negligent homicide sounds the most appropriate to me.

7. It is not "like" a holocaust. IT IS A HOLOCAUST. The first of MANY if we

do not stop them. NOW.

edit spelling

8. just wait until they start shooting people...Bush* said there was a

0 tolerance policy for looting.

9. He is a plague

and an Anti-Midas--everything he touches turns to shit.
