Chertoff: "We need to prepare the country for what's coming"

[Imagevision]

We are going to uncover people who died hiding in the houses, maybe got caught in floods, it is going to be as ugly a scene as you can imagine.

1. wonder if they'll be able to bury those images along with...

...the Abu Ghraib photos? :sarcasm:

[Imagevision]

19. They'll not allow body pic's out to the public - 2006 election will

cost some Repug seats if pic's of dead babies are published -- censorship guranteed, just like recent Ahbu-Ghrab pics were ordered a no-no and not published.

[Gabi Hayes]

you mean this?

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell

[skooooo]

12. yes....that is so pertinent

Orwell was great.

[The Backlash Cometh]

2. We know better than you do, Chertoff, what we're going to find.

What we're going to need preparation for, is how to deal with our shock and anger at your incompetence for letting it happen.

[shanti]

10. just like 9/11

n/t

3. Chertoff: we may never know the true number of how many died

4. "We need to prepare the country for what's coming"

He's cryptically apologizing for manufacturing the crisis, because in the future there are worse scenarios being dreamed up.

Iran has oil.

They need an excuse.

But I despair it's too late as I watch CNN facilitate the horror.

[shance]

5. PREPARE? He has the audacity to use the word PREPARE?

I don't know what the Administration has "prepared" for Americans, but they are fully responsible for this avoidance of any preparation.

[AlGore-08.com]

8. But how can we prepare for something UNPRECIDENTED like that?

[Jawja]

9. They could prepare

us by releasing the Abu Ghraib photos - the shock and outrage from those might ease the blow from what he is describing we will find from their incompetence in NO.

Or, it may not.

[bunny planet]

6. You need to prepare for what's coming, visualize a special prosecutor.

Impeach every last one of them.

[skooooo]

14. Visualize the collect boot of America...

kicking your ass.

[Solly Mack]

7. Gee, better not show the images or Americans will riot

sarcasm...just in case anyone didn't sense it... (think Abu Ghraib)

[RevCheesehead]

11. Yeah - prepare for martial law. n/t

[RBHam]

13. bingo

too bad bush crime family operatives are everywhere facilitating the horror.

[Catrina]

15. What is he talking about?? WE knew this was

what would be found if HE didn't get his very expensive act together. He does not represent anyone anymore, why is he still talking to the American people?

The bodies after Monday, are HIS fault and the criminal administration that appointed him. RESIGN!! That's the best thing he could do now, and get someone competent, like maybe the 18-year-old who took action and actually saved some lives!!

[Marr]

16. Oh- did he read that in the newspaper?

Because I think that's where he's getting all his information on the disaster area he's meant to managing.

[applegrove]

17. How about preparing those Gulf states for what was coming? How

about preparing for a lawless situation where the rule of law (policing) was incapable of getting a handle?

Pentagon knows full well about that cycle. As obvious as the cycle around the eye of a category 5 hurricane.

How about that?

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

18. Prepare for this sham administration...

To have to own up...to an investigative committee.

Hope they like the way they look in freshly pressed prison blues...

[hlthe2b]

20. So THIS is his idea of "PREPARATION"

Damn him to hell. Damn Bush* to hell. Damn all those fucking Bush-loving apologists to hell. Damn the Bush* enablers to hell (including those who are DEMS).

I am sick. I am so very sick.

I am so ashamed to be an American right now. And like everyone else on this board, whatever small things I can do are too late.... THus, thanks to our government, I and everyone else is complcit in this genocide. I am so depressed.....and I can't stop crying...
