Disaster

what about bush saying brownie did a good job? we disagree on the flyover...fine...it really is an insignificant point...but brownie is a fairly large mistake. onceler is the board's biggest fool and partisan hack...he thinks katrina was bush's largest mistake....while he always neglects to talk about the dems unless called on it, then he pays false lip service to it.

today i was a bad mood due to being sick, so i felt like going around with him. but overall, its a fucking waste of time. he just goes in circles....you're right, he is an idiot

Well okay, what exactly did Brownie do in failing to properly respond to Katrina? I agree he was way underqualified for the job, and Bush could have picked someone better, but again...what does this have to do with Federal response to Katrina?

You see, it's easy to agree with the Libs that Bush "made mistakes" but you should at least try to define what those mistakes were, if for no other reason, so we don't repeat them again! But here, we're having a difficult time getting to the bottom line... what mistakes? Let's start listing them one by one and talking about them, I am open to that... but I'll be goddamned if I am just going to sit here and agree that Bush "made mistakes" because someone has that false perception.

Interesting, don't you agree, to compare the reaction of the Japanese to their multiple disaster, with the New Orleansians (I have no idea what they are called) and their reaction to Katrina.

The Americans whined, bitched and moaned and, from what we saw on TV, could or would do nothing to help themselves.

The Japanese, you know, those little yellow people that you bombed in the war and who are stealing your jobs and who can't speak English, meanwhile, are getting on with the job of boiling water, not letting society crumble, looking after each other.

You'd think, wouldn't you, that with their exposure to the great American way, they would run around like headless chickens blaming anyone and everyone else just as the Americans did.

Methinks the wonderful yanks might learn a thing or two from the little people in the orient.

I didn't exactly notice you guys rolling up to New Orleans in an Air Craft Carrier loaded with emergency supplies the day after Katrina hit either.

EXCLUSIVE: UP IN FLAMES
From Ryan Parry, US Correspondent in New York 19/09/2005

Tons of British aid donated to help Hurricane Katrina victims to be BURNED by Americans

HUNDREDS of tons of British food aid shipped to America for starving Hurricane Katrina survivors is to be burned.

US red tape is stopping it from reaching hungry evacuees.

Instead tons of the badly needed Nato ration packs, the same as those eaten by British troops in Iraq, has been condemned as unfit for human consumption.


NEEDY: Evacuees from New Orleans

And unless the bureaucratic mess is cleared up soon it could be sent for incineration.

One British aid worker last night called the move "sickening senselessness" and said furious colleagues were "spitting blood".

The food, which cost British taxpayers millions, is sitting idle in a huge warehouse after the Food and Drug Agency recalled it when it had already left to be distributed.

Scores of lorries headed back to a warehouse in Little Rock, Arkansas, to dump it at an FDA incineration plant.

The Ministry of Defence in London said last night that 400,000 operational ration packs had been shipped to the US.

But officials blamed the US Department of Agriculture, which impounded the shipment under regulations relating to the import and export of meat.

The aid worker, who would not be named, said: "This is the most appalling act of sickening senselessness while people starve.

"The FDA has recalled aid from Britain because it has been condemned as unfit for human consumption, despite the fact that these are Nato approved rations of exactly the same type fed to British soldiers in Iraq.

"Under Nato, American soldiers are also entitled to eat such rations, yet the starving of the American South will see them go up in smoke because of FDA red tape madness."

There are always mistakes at the Federal level.... again, what does that have to do with Bush's actions as president in responding to the disaster? You see, what you are trying to do, is the same thing the liberals did... Find fault with our bloated, redundant, inefficient, out-of-touch Federal government, and blame it on Bush! Because our incompetent Federal government couldn't be there to save the day and rescue everyone and make sure they were all taken care of, it has to be Bush's fault, he has to be blamed!

I am going to ask you one more time, list the mistakes you believe Bush made in his handling of the disaster, and we can have a rational discussion about it. Until you do that, you can flail around acting like a liberal retard and not getting my point, if that's what cranks your tractor, Yurt.
