3. Yeah, who is that asshole?

He's saying that the only way we could have delivered food to the Superdome before now would have been to drop palettes from "10 to 20 thousand feet onto the heads of those poor people." Unbelievable.

Or maybe stocking the fucking buses that went to the Dome with supplies?

[NYC Liberal]

Compared it to bales of hay dropped during a winter storm that hit cattle!!

[nonconformist]

[Corgigal]

13. They like to pretend they didn't get

3 days, at least, advance warning that a Category 5/4 hurricane was spot on to hit New Orleans.

I just turned them off too.

[Skwmom]

14. DUH - you don't need to AIR DROP food and water. That's what

helicopters are for.

[thedailyshow]

15. that is BULLSHIT! Bush's father responded faster

when Hurricane Andrew hit. Here's the article below:

How about this dope's own father during Hurricane Andrew? Once again,
President Bush (41) -- August, 1992 -- was in the midst of a brutal campaign for re-election. Yet, he cut off his campaigning the day before and went to Washington where he martialed the largest military operation on US soil in history. He sent in 7,000 National Guard and 22,000 regular military personnel, and all the gear to begin the clean up within hours after Andrew passed through Florida. 'Cause, you know, those people and their stuff was
actually where it belonged, rather than being used for insurgent
target-practice halfway around the world in a vain effort to make Iraq safe for Iranian takeover.


In August of 1969 when Cat-5 Hurricane Camille hit roughly the same area as Katrina, President Nixon had already readied the National Guard and ordered all Gulf rescue vessels and equipment from Tampa and Houston to follow the Hurricane in. There were over 1,000 regular military with two dozen helicopters to assist the Coast Guard and National Guard within hours after the skies cleared.

[maine_raptor]

19. That's right. I forgot about the response to Camille!

Imagne Nixon beats out Shrub when it comes to helping "poor folk".

Never thought I'd live to see the day!!!!

[symbolman]

17. It's SHOWTIME

the KING HAS ARRIVED to feed the peasants.

Nice little staged deal, Bush will be a hero today.

At least the poor bastards get to eat now.

[Pithy Cherub]

18. We can drop "smart bombs" with precision, but not a fucking sandwich!

Dan Goure whatever or whoever he is a BUSH apologist first and foremost!

America is no more...

20. google on this moran

The neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century writes a “blueprint” for the “creation of a ‘global Pax Americana’ ” (see also June 3, 1997). The document, titled, Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces and Resources for a New Century, was written for the Bush team even before the 2000 Presidential election. It was written for future Vice President Cheney, future Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, future Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Florida Governor and President Bush's brother Jeb Bush, and future Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis Libby. The report calls itself a “blueprint for maintaining global US preeminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests.” The plan shows that the Bush team intended to take military control of Persian Gulf oil whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power and should retain control of the region even if there is no threat. It says: “The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.” The report calls for the control of space through a new “US Space Forces,” the political control of the internet, the subversion of any growth in political power of even close allies, and advocates “regime change” in China, North Korea, Libya, Syria, Iran and other countries. It also mentions that “advanced forms of biological warfare that can ‘target’ specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.” (see also Spring 2001 and April 2001 (D)). However, the report complains that these changes are likely to take a long time, “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor.” In an NBC interview at about the same time, Vice Presidential candidate Cheney defends Bush Jr.'s position of maintaining Clinton's policy not to attack Iraq because the US should not act as though “we were an imperialist power, willy-nilly moving into capitals in that part of the world, taking down governments.”

23. They set Saddam up from the beginning. didn't

they? I see the pic of Saddam and rummy way back when and read this and there is no doubt at all.

[earth mom]

21. I don't get cable...

so I'm stuck with NBC, CBS and ABC and surprisingly this morning the Today show which I usually loathe did okay reporting of the situation. They showed photojournalist Tony Zumbados' honest and brutal video of the situation at the convention center as well as some hard hitting heart breaking interviews. I LOVE that guy!

So is it back to business as usual-LIES LIES AND MORE LIES-with the networks? UGH.

[Vinca]

22. What a giant load of crap!

Sanjay Gupta, the CNN doc, managed to get into NO to the Charity Hospital . . . can't the military get in with food and water? I swear I'd like to see about 75% of our government step down.
