It would be too much to expect the serfs to do it themselves.
Here we go, another 9/11 Commission will be set up to blame Bush.
The "what ifs" need to stop until the clean-up is handled. Then analysis by engineers and safety experts (not politicians) need to provide lessons learned.
I just knew this was George Bush's fault! Thank you for proving it!
/sarcasm (in case some can't tell)
Perhaps if Boston hadn't ripped off the feds for $15 billion for their perpetual Big Dig scam, there would have been some funds for the levees in NO. Someone really should ask that twit Robert Kennedy Jr. about that when he blames everything on not signing the Kyoto treaty.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
I knew they would find a way to make it ALL BUSH'S FAULT!
Since when is it the Federal Government and Armed Forces job to build this stuff? State and City money should be flowing into that, and non army companies charged with building it.
This thread needs a not this $hit again picture.
They have known about this since 1960. But of course, it's Bush's fault.
New Orleans is dying. If they can't stop the flooding, there will be nothing left to save. The authorities need to get the people out of the area ASAP. I pray we have the resources to get it done. Everyone needs to help.
If only the left would stop the playing the blame game long enough to help. But they won't. They are ruled by hate and bile.
By their own admission, they hadn't planned on a Cat 4 to 5 hurricane and that even if they had started in Sep 04, they were still 4 years away from completing a study.
Money gets moved all the time.
The Hurricane history at Eglin AFB shows that since 1886 there has been an average of 1 hurricane every other year in this region. Some years have had 2 or more. Other times there's been about a 4 year stretch without a hurricane.
It is not like this is a surprise. It is not like the city couldn't raise tax money for this purpose or that the state couldn't.
The real blame here lies at the feet of that criminal named, "procrastination."
"I knew they would find a way to make it ALL BUSH'S FAULT!"
Me, too. You could see it coming a mile away. Articles like this make me want to scream! All I can say is that President Bush must be a stronger person than I am. I don't see how he maintains his sanity with the constant barrage of, "It's all your fault", from someone's hangnail to this latest disaster. I pray for the dear man every day!
And exactly how much money was needed anyway? $450 million plus $250 million more, plus the laundry list of other bits...was a billion dollars or more going to defend a city that was falling into the sea?
Rebuild the oil infrastructure, the portage, and enough city to support it. Let the rest go further inland and/or be absorbed by other cities.
People who live entirely in man-made structures do not conceive of how much bigger nature is than man. When the winds blow and the earth moves and the waters flow, that which moves cares not for the shapes of ink on paper or the movements of small green pieces of paper.
With all of this concentration on NO, one would think that they were the hardest hit, particularly in terms of human life and propety damage. After all the facts are in, I believe Mississippi will have suffered the most damage.
That's all the left do....blame and make up some wierd a$$ stories about how it was all a conspiracy. Screw them.
