President Bush To Address Nation At 5 Pm

[My Favorite Headache]

President Bush to address the nation on Hurricane Katrina...has flown by the damage on Air Force One on way back to D.C.

[don-o]

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Whut? It's certainly a rally the nation moment? What especially is making you uneasy?

[RebelBanker]

The reports I have seen state that rescuers are leaving dead bodies in order to help the living. This will create problems (notably disease) over time, but priority must be given to those who can be helped.

You are quite correct, someone will have to do a graves registration type operation to deal with the casualties. However, I think they are more concerned with trying to prevent any more flooding at this point.

ahhhhhhh-stuff it!

This'd be a real good time to stfu and figure out a way to help.

There'll be lotsa time for pontification after the dead are buried.

"From your mouth to God's ear" BUMP!!

Here....two hours early.

Good news. They have relaxed the rules on refineries regarding sulfur and another chemical,(cant recall which). It is in affect until Sept 15th and applies to ALL states.

Bet that will get Robert Kennedy's goat.

Sorry to reply to your private freep mail in the public forum, but in case anybody else doubts I read about the Bush hurricane creation/steering technology on DU, here, in its entirety, is the post that informed me of this stunning military/meteorlogical breakthrough:

Original message:
Don't respond w/o your TINFOIL on - "Katrina" = "another 911 for bush" ?

I think this disaster is tooo coincidental.

Everything going on was "negative for bush and for POWER" :

* Iraq is a nightmare -- the draft constitution rejected by Sunni's with potential "civil war" as a result.

* The US economy in the shitter (BS job numbers and inflation rising)

* The Housing bubble aboutr to burst with consumers extended on home equity loans -- last few months retail shopping slowing

* Oil continued to increase and people having to spend less on consumables.

* The US "economic - housing - oil induced - poor planning by govt BUBBLE" was coming home to roost.

* NOT to mention the Plame investigation and Rove "fingerprints"

What do we get :

-------------------

A "perfectly targeted devistating hurricane" at a city "below sea level which controls 25% of US energy production"

For those of you that don't know -- our Military has been working with "controlling the weather" for sometime. How HAARP works and it creates "depression's and steering" don't ask me. I know hurricanes require warm Gulf waters (August/Sept you have that).

And now:

---------

7x24 news on the hurricane -- forgetting all of the above.

I don't trust TPTB and I think more is coming that all "our woes" will now be blamed on Katrina"

IF there were anyway to find out increased "weather making activity" that steered this towards New Orleans and others I would love to know.

TPTB would do "anything" do advance thier agenda -- and the CNN "situation room" was created "just in time" -- what a "co-inkydink"

Please note, the (1000+ posts) designation indicates that he is not a conservative troll on their site, posting things to embarrass them. Or if he is, he's deep deep undercover!

And before anybody asks, I am not him!

[mict42]

Stuff what? Pointing out issues that get under your skin as well, but, because he's our guy, he can do not wrong? He is driving asleep at the wheel. Sorry to bring out the anger. Maybe it's misplaced.

Outstanding recommendations.

[the Deejay]

You are dead wrong about the president.
Your comment was totally uncalled for.

And.....your time is about up.

Gas in Columbia, SC (the cheapest in the nation) went from an avreage of 2.60 this morning to 2.99 at lunch

That's nothing, upstate ny we went from 2.75 to 3.35 overnight.

"Why, oh why on earth would you just leave the bodies floating around?"

Save the living first, (or have even more dead bodies) the dead no longer care, they are dead.

[Pirate21]

Right there with you on your tagline: $3.00 a gallon is the price you pay for ANWR! Start drilling or stop whining!
Maybe we could get the environmentalist wackos and the ACLU in a suit/countersuit case.
ACLU to EWs: You are infringing on the rights of those who want more fuel autonomy.
EWs to ACLU: Your legal briefs are decimating our forests.

Is this eastern time?

Yep. 5 pm EDT, 4 pm CDT/EST, 3 pm MDT/CST, 2 pm PDT/MST (don't ask for Alaska/Hawaii :-)

[Gondring]

There is no moral difference between the bastards jacking up gas prices on inventory already purchased and the bastards looting in the streets of New Orleans.

Yeah, some people even sell their HOUSE for more than they paid! Can you believe such immoral folks? They should sell it for what they paid, not replacement (market) cost!

[steveegg]

I have to thank Falcon4.0 for it.

[Coop]

I wonder if they're 'working on a plan' yet to deal with the bodies? Other than just shoving them aside, that is. Why, oh why on earth would you just leave the bodies floating around? First of all, it has to be very unsanitary. Second, can we maybe treat them with a little more dignity than that? I mean, they were human beings, not pieces of flotsam to just be judged out of the way.

I doubt it, but I do hope you've since retracted such an ignorant and mean comment.

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THEY DON'T GIVE A HOOT ABOUT THE DEAD BODIES?!?!?

Wake up, for goodness sake! This is a horrific disaster, and right now they're still desperately trying to save lives.
