excerpts from speech up on Yahoo

[bluedog]

"The government of this nation will do its part as well. Our cities must have clear and up-to-date plans for responding to natural disasters, disease outbreaks, or terrorist attack for evacuating large numbers of people in an emergency and for providing the food, water, and security they would need. In a time of terror threats and weapons of mass destruction, the danger to our citizens reaches much wider than a fault line or a flood plain. I consider detailed emergency planning to be a national security priority."




(has 1 terror 1 terrorist 1 WMD in just this statement.............

1. Hey they didnt have this part???

We F`ed Up?????

[rosesaylavee]

2. Oh good. "National Security if a priority." I feel much better now. n/t

[samdogmom]

3. Here's what I don't get--

If you release the speech ahead of time and everyone knows you're a terrible "speaker"--why would anyone tune in to read along with you?

Spare me--I'm listening to great jazz and blues music from New Orleans musicians at 8 p.m. central/9 p.m. eastern time. Sorry W, I'm not helping your ratings!

[bluedog]

5. wondered the same thing also

why not just release the written speech and stop using the air time to plaster his face all over the media.......

its not like he ever has anything to say and not that hes an intelligent or articulate speaker.....

this is really for his base....they'll watch him no matter what....watch his media whore.russert.tweety

and all the Fox crew.just say how "great" a leader and strong a speaker he is..

[tulsakatz]

14. I guess they wanna know...........

........if anyone is still watching him!!

His last speech got terrible ratings!! And that was before his approval dipped to 40%!

[tjdee]

21. For the media-- "Oh, he said 'National Security is a priority'...."

They release it so the press knows what to highlight, how to kiss his ass, etc.

[bee]

4. didnt we already hear that one? (sarcasm) n/t

[smurfygirl]

6. so when does he mention we all need chips implanted?

so they can identify us and reunite us with our families?

:yoiks:

[bobbieinok]

8. been waiting for that.....'chips to ID bodies, lost little children'

[teach1st]

7. What year is it?

I consider detailed emergency planning to be a national security priority.

So did we...four years ago! What have you been doing in the meantime, Mr. "We'll keep you safe?"

[Journeyman]

12. The very thought I had. . .

Everything he's proposing tonight should have been implemented years ago. The speech itself is two weeks late, though, so it's not surprising the content is inappropriate as well.

It's like FDR giving the "day of infamy" speech sometime in April of '42. . .

[WI_DEM]

9. God a more powerful Dept of Homeland Security with even more

civil liberties being tramped on will be his solution.

[Horse with no Name]

10. I bet he doesn't mention that the ones they ALREADY have

have been approved by FEMA and Homeland Security.::banghead:

[Solly Mack]

11. " It was not a normal hurricane"

shades of "not a traditional hi-jacking"

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Right. And what causes "not normal" Hurricanes, George?

NOT NORMAL ocean temperatures, perhaps?

How about NOT NORMAL atmospheric CO2 levels?

Or maybe it's the NOT NORMAL levels of usage of fossil fuels, particularly in the mondo SUV-drivin', hummer-lovin', outsized-monster-truck-as-a-substitute-for-undersized-manhood USA...

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. A translation

"The work that has begun in the Gulf Coast region will be one of the largest reconstruction efforts the world has ever seen. When that job is done, all Americans will have something to be very proud of — and all Americans are needed in this common effort."

Raising taxes on you good zero to low and middle class folks.

[Warren DeMontague]

27. Brought to you by.... HALLIBURTON!

And subsidiary KBR.

Ka-Ching!

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Um...Which disaster relief plan was that...?

" I also want to know all the facts about the government response to Hurricane Katrina. The storm involved a massive flood, a major supply and security operation, and an evacuation order affecting more than a million people. It was not a normal hurricane and the normal disaster relief system was not equal to it."

[matt819]

16. So that's what it's all about

*: I thought it was about "dead or alive" or bullhorn moments or declarations of war. That's not it. You have to do detailed emergency planning. Shit. If I'd known that, things might have turned out different. Planning. Got to remember that one. Karl? Take a note. We have to plan. I guess flyovers just don't cut it. Jeez. Planning. Wow. Who'd a thunk it?

[goclark]

17. Where is the part about Karl being in charge?

Puke, wake me when it's over.

[highplainsdem]

20. Karl isn't officially in charge -- so I guess there's no accountability.

See this NY Times article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/15/politics/15bush.html?hp&ex=1126843200&en=84b0ea8b63ecf6ea&ei=5094&partner=homepage

There won't be a reconstruction czar. But Republicans are being told that Karl's overseeing things. Politics as usual.

[goclark]

24. I thought he was going to announce it in his babble tonight no ?

[highplainsdem]

25. Not according to the Times.

[goodboy]

18. I like this: "When I told you you'd be safer if you voted for me, instead

of John Kerry...I was lying. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pee! Aunt Condi? Can I please have a bathroom pass?"

[noiretextatique]

19. &$*%(#)$(*%

fuck you, mr. bush, you asshole :puke:

[tjdee]

22. Guess what, jerkoff? 9/11 was FOUR YEARS AGO!

Is he kidding with this, we need to be prepared?

NO SHIT!

National Security is a priority? Isn't that why you created Homeland Security? Isn't that why we ALREADY have FEMA?

What has he been doing with himself for the past four years?
That's right, absolutely nothing but going on vacation every five minutes!
:grr:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

23. What have you been doing for four years?

I thought we were safer asshole :sarcasm:

:grr:
