Oh the times they are a changing....
Rhetoric, reality don't always match at Bush White House

By RON FOURNIER
ASSOCIATED PRESS


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 — The Iraqi insurgency is in its last throes. The economy is booming. Anybody who leaks a CIA agent's identity will be fired. Add another piece of White House rhetoric that doesn't match the public's view of reality: Help is on the way, Gulf Coast.

As New Orleans descended into anarchy, President Bush and his emergency-response team congratulated each other for jobs well done and spoke of water, food and troops pouring into the ravaged city. Television pictures told a different story.

3. It was worse when he was wrong. te he --good one!!


.......It was worse when he was wrong. In one interview, Bush said, ''I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees.'' In fact, many experts predicted a major storm would bust New Orleans' flood-control barriers.

Contrasts Brown and Chertoff cluelessness with reality.
