In all fairness you have to admit the anthrax was home grown, a

Oklahoma city.



We didn't know that at the time and even if it was, he certainly didn't
protect us by his extensive vacation schedule.

All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking.


You're denying he spent 3 years of his 8 on vacation? It's pretty well
documented.

Stupid article and inaccurate. There were certainly other attacks during
Bush's presidency... e.g., the anthrax attacks, not to mention his
bungling
the Katrina response, which if it had been an actual attack would have
been
a worse one than 9/11, and not to mention that he was warned about bin
laden
but went on vacation instead of doing something. Of course, that didn't
stop
him from going on vacation for approximately three of his eight years in
office.

His administration was mostly composed of chicken hawks, including Cheney.
Bush ignored Afganistan since 9/11, instead focusing on a war of choice
rather than necessity. Thus, we have the mess that McChrystal is
struggling
with now. God forbid Obama should actually try and figure out a strategy
that has a reasonable chance of stablizing the situation.

There is an old saying having to do with a Christmas Goose. Much of
the verbiage above would put you in that category.

John, it's shown itself to be nothing more than a liberal sock puppet,
spouting lies straight out of the lemming playbook. Best to plonk the
boatless shill.

fine. you let me know how your local govt would deal with a disaster

I think the point was that since protocol dictated that the federal
government, as Jack has presented it, was to defer to the local
governments in taking the lead in managing in the face of a natural
disaster, they did so, but encouraged the respective local governments
to appeal for federal assistance through pre-defined channels.
According to Jack's information, the local governments failed to do so
in an timely and sagacious manner. In other words, a case can be made
that for the Bush administration, it was damned if you do and damned
if you don't - if you comprehended what Jack wrote.


Well, Blackwater had no problem deploying. They were first on the scene. Of
course, they didn't do much for the people in trouble, unless you count the
big companies' facilities they were protecting.




Blackwater is a criminal enterprise.

No local gov has to by themselves... they just have to ask for
assistance from the feds. Nagel and Blanco did not.

Reference Hugo... The SC gov asked for federal assistance in a timely
manner, evacuated it's citizens before landfall, and was as ready as
it could be. They did what they needed, and were supposed to do.

Nagel and Blanco failed miserably in NO. Bush tried to get them to
let feds take over, and they refused. Two days after landfall, they
finally asked for federal assistance. The blood is on their hands.
Oh, and they are Demoncrats.
The National Weather Service tried to put the fear of god into those
people a full 3 days in advance of that disaster. What in the world were
those people thinking? They must have been waiting for the big black
government limousines to come and pick them up and carry them to safety.
There is a downside to demanding cradle to grave Government guidance and
protection. I hope we learn that lesson before it's too late. Maybe it's
too late already.


Yeah, the poor had lots of way out. All of them by bus that too them to the
sports arena.

Calm down Tootsie. You're starting to make typos. Check the timeline of
the days before K day and report back what preparations were made by
state and local government. Could those busses have been used to
transport the disadvantaged to a location a little safer and cleaner
than the downtown sports arena. Did the democratic state and local
administrations do anything to aid and comfort their people? If so, what?

You're putting words in his mouth. Perhaps he should put something of
his in your mouth.

Sweet, one of the lowest levels of discourse I've seen on this forum.
How do you rationalize this with your Christian beliefs?

Calm down Jimmy Bob. I'm probably smarter than you. I know you want to blame
Democrats for everything, and Brownie had lots of experience with horse law,
and Bush can ride a horse, but that sort of logic belongs in a comedy show
and not in a logical argument.
