OT--Farrakhan states levees *were* blown up.
 
Farrakhan is now stating that the levees *were* (not "may have been") blown
up to flood the black areas and save the white areas from flooding around
New Orleans.


"Mayor Nagin told us there was a 25-foot crater under the levee," Farrakhan
explained, before cautioning that the New Orleans Democrat "didn't say there
was a bomb. He just said there was a crater."
Farrakhan then added: "I say they blew it [up]."

"Divers inspecting the ruptured levee walls surrounding New Orleans found
something that piqued their interest - burn marks on underwater debris
chunks from the broken levee wall," Farrakhan said.

"One diver - a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - saw the burn
marks and knew immediately what caused them."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Making this kind of accusation is akin to falsely yelling "fire" in a
crowded theater. The man ought to put up proof...or be arrested for
inciting a riot.

In the same cell. They'd probably find kevin real purty!

Well, debris chunks means it's a brick or concrete as the delta is all sand.
So it's probably part of a concrete wall from a demolished house. Seems
most of the buildings in that area are destroyed by fire (pre Katrina).
That would be my first guess unless the chunk was found in a tree. sigh
Besides we all saw the water flowing over the levee walls.

And when a levee breaks there is always a huge cavern gouged by the water
flowing through. One if the places I fish in the Sacramento Delta is lower
sherman Island. A lake now that is about 12' deep. But the levee break is
50' deep.

Farrakhan is an extremist.
As a guy firmly entrenched in the middle of the road (insert grin),
sometimes I wish these radical characters would pipe down a bit. It
gives the Limbaugh League and the Hannity Clan a really noisy target
and the next thing you know the talk is going around, "Here's what
liberals *all* think about this or that........."

Are you are saying that you are 'middle of the road' politically and
represent the majority of views/opinions of US citizens Chuck?

Did you miss "insert grin"?
Compared to Farrakhan, I am middle of the road.
I don't care whether my views agree or disagree with the majority- I
think for myself, and the majority do not think at all.

It will be forthcoming if and when I'm convinced that somebody else was
sock-puppeting Skipper. There is compelling evidence that it was your
handiwork, and no evidence so far that it was anybody else.
