The Soldiers from Iraq speak about NOLA

[Bluerthanblue]

i' m really tired, but i read this, and would recommend you do to-
it's some really good stuff from the troops in Iraq about what is happening here...
"...n early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, according to a Feb. 16, 2004, article, in New Orleans CityBusiness.

Now we watch the scenes of an American city devastated and the response to that devastation.As the reporters on the ground become increasingly desperate and begin to identify with the victims at this new ground zero the self-examinations begin. Should we critique the response and is that fair now? The President's press secretary said that politics should be left out of this equation. Although I am admittedly not a fan of this administration and many of its decisions, I think that there is a good reason to begin this critique now. That is because the failures and missteps continue and minute by minute the damage and eventual casualty count grows.During the election cycle an oft-repeated talking point was that we shouldn't changeleadership in a war and that without Mr. Bush and company in charge the homeland was more vulnerable to a terrorist attack. Although the total force ofhurricane Katrina was more than any conceivable terroristcould muster, the effectsin the city of New Orleans could be comparedto the often invoked 'dirty bomb' or 'smoking gun of a nuclear attack'. I think it therefore fair that the response be critiqued. The administration has been great about putting a clean suited Chertoff and earnest Michael Brown from FEMA in front of a podium to reassure us. They have been less effective about translating their platitudes into real action.".......

1. Well, if this week is any indication, Bushco's response to a nuke or bio

attack would be to throw up their hands and say, "Pfffft! Fuck it!"

3. "Bah! Mere peons! Let us eat cake!"

2. If waiting to critize will bring back the dead, sure I can wait.

6. Problem with waiting: they're constructing their cover story now

they're not waiting. They're going to blame local authorities, they're going to blame the Governor. They're going to pretend that well-known threats came as a complete surprise to experts and once more you will see the national media dutifully get back in line and parrot their line and parrot it and parrot it, until everyone who is furious right now and wants to see the Administration fall (as they would certainly do in any other democracy in the world), simply gives up in utter disgust and frustration.

7. Their racist cover story, like the Iraq war cover story is going to blow..

...back in their collective faces. The little sham and shock and awe is over, because we know what they're really about..... oil profits.

It's time to really play the racist card which drives their unqelchable devils thirst. They will fall back defending big oil until the last day, while everyone amasses to remove their ass.
