What lesson do you suppose terrorists will take from the Katrina aftermath

[MetaTrope]

Are they going to see how pathetically ineffectual our "Homeland Security" apparat is, while our military is waging a losing occupation on the other side of the planet?

1. I've been wondering the same thing

It'll be interesting to see how the pundits and hacks play this out. A little flooding here. A little bombing there. In blue states, of course, since it's obvious this government doesn't give a good goddamn about anyone but republicans, ideally rich white ones.

[LisaL]

2. I hope they decide it's not worth it to attack us-considering

a natural disaster can do it bigger and better than the terrorists ever could.

[leftofthedial]

3. look for natural vulnerabilities to exploit

don't expect to get stopped or caught

[DanCa]

4. Republicans talk the talk but can't walk the walk.

Senator Kerry had expeirence to handle this. Hell even John Mccain. But who did the people pick?

[kliljedahl]

26. The people picked Gore & Kerry

The Supremes & Diebold picked *.

[Cleita]

5. Probably that they don't have to kill us after all. Our government

will do it for them.

[Tyranny_R_US]

6. Don't attack black areas because they don't give a shit?

[Tallison]

20. Right on. n/t

[mtnester]

25. You got that right...brown people too...but otherwise what they learned

was ...

PICK A TARGET...ANY TARGET

[Desertrose]

7. I was thinking that myself....

we sure look like a bunch of sitting ducks and that the gov't really doesn't give a shit about the poor folk.....don't know if that cpuld make less affluent areas safer and the affluent more at risk.

Sure likes like a class war could happen REAL easy...who needs terrorists anyway? *'s doing a good job screwing things up without them....

[WLKjr]

8. I can tell you what I think

This has shown them that we may be mighty over seas but when it comes to C.Y.OOUROWN.A.'s, we are pathetically weak becauase of the dipshit that runs the country.

[Old and In the Way]

9. More importantly, what are we learning?

We've spent $300BB fighting shadowy boogeymen in the ME. Tell me if we had invested $300BB in our own national security (which btw, ripples through our economy) that would focus on natural disasters...we wouldn't be better off.

Homeland Security is a joke....it got exposed this week. Better levies would have saved $100 BILLION DOLLARS.....just how could a terrorist event come close to this?

[cornermouse]

10. I'm trying not to think of that.

[htuttle]

11. I just hope our governors learned something from all this

Such as: Don't expect the Bush administration to be any help whatsoever for at least 5 days.


on edit: messed up subject line

[killbotfactory]

12. Shake their heads in disgust, then plan a major attack

[WilliamPitt]

13. That we're sitting ducks

[peppin]

15. Lesson #1

The U.S. has a fucktard for a president.

[proud patriot]

14. hopefully that our gov. treats us shitty

so the terrorists won't feel the need to blow us up
all they have to do is wait for our own damn government
to let us starve and dehydrate.

I doubt that is the lesson the terrorists are getting
but I hope it is . :shrug:

[Jara sang]

16. What are you talkin' about? Homland Dept does just what it's supposed to.

Spy on American citizens.

[Wizard777]

17. It's time for them to give up. They can't out catastrophy Bush.

[FloridaPat]

18. My thoughts too. If I wanted to destroy the US, I would put these

clowns in office.

[DinahMoeHum]

19. Agreed. Why should OBL break a sweat over this? He's played

Bush for a candy-ass patsy.

:evilfrown:

[Piperay]

21. The terrorists don't have to do anything

just set back and let Mother Nature have at it and then our own govenment will just let us all die. Makes it real easy for the terrorists we just emplode on our own with no effort on their part.

[MercutioATC]

22. Two VERY BIG things:

1) We're completely unprepared to deal with this scale of destruction.

2) They don't have to worry about the rest of the planet because the U.S. is in this alone. Hell, we won't even accept some help from our allies after a huge natural disaster.

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. You mean the ones in the WH? Mission Accomplished. nt

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. That we have the right man in office for the job

... of destroying America without any exterior involvement needed.
