three days on and I say these critics can take their commentary and deposit it in a special place...


To the MSM,
Enough of the finger pointing and how about placing that energy into seeing what you can do to help you fellow man.

[Tom_Busch]

WaPO bleating for higher taxes are they?

[MJY1288]

Critics say Uncle Joe Cannon is a Troll

The leftists are grasping for straws... How bout you Uncle joe?

[Mo1]

Hint to the Liberals

This is NOT a road you want to go down

Shall we open up the books to the BILLIONS of dollars that was sent to NO and what happen to it all???

[roses of sharon]

Liberals. LOL They always overplay their hands!

[servantoftheservant]

'But they said' -- liberal journalists and 'they said'.

They = the journalists themselves attributing their own thoughts to others.

[coconutt2000]

So they admit that the funding at regular levels wouldn't have made a difference, but it is still Bush's fault because it is indicative of the President's priorities.

Tell me if I'm crazy, but what's the point of prioritizing funding for flood control when the results of full funding and half funding are basically equal?

[JennysCool]

Even with full funding in recent years, none of the flood-control projects would have been completed in time to prevent the swamping of the city, as Democrats yesterday acknowledged.

That's the money quote. At least they played it high up in the story. You don't need to read further.

[Andy from Beaverton]

I heard Bush was also responsible for the Armenian massacre.

[ARCADIA]

I am no big fan of President Bush; but, it is Congress that controls the purse strings. So this accusation is absolutely bogus. Perhaps if Congress had sacrifice some of its pork projects we would have been able to improve the levees to spare many thousands of American lives.

[from earlier post by EagleUSA:MSM: Take Note - Clinton's Contribution to the Katrina Disaster ( Must Read ) The Federal Register ^ | September 1, 2005 | EagleUSA

Posted on 09/01/2005 3:21:59 PM PDT by EagleUSA The MSM began politicizing the hurricane Katrina disaster before it even happened. Of course, their one objective is to blame President Bush, our military and anyone else that represents an idealogical barrier to their agenda. What the MSM has not done, is look in their own backyard -- in 1998 the Army Corps of Engineers provided a Draft Request to pursue the protection of noted areas in the Gulf region, to enhance their ability to survive heavy hurricane damage. The project was summarily REJECTED BY BILL CLINTON as not important . . .]

The Washington Post is no better than the rest of the 'pack-of-dogs, MSM that is hellbent on making this disaster work for the Left and against President Bush.

Disgusting. . these Lefties are always the first to cast stones; and from where they live - in the biggest glass house of all.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

So with eight years of the Clintons, what was done about flood control? Outside of Arkansas does concrete go away?

Doesn't matter if the left backs off and acknowledges the facts. The goal is to get it out there.

Now in the future "cut funding" can be referred to and the finer details will be forgotten. It will become baseline assumed truth as many lies have become. Even our most informed and articulate spokesmen fall prey.

The key talking point. Nothing they are whining about would have changed things one little bit. Keep hammering on this every time the subject comes up. And then ask why rats are trying to use death and destruction for dishonest political attacks. It's almost as if they are glad people are dying so they can blame it on Bush.

The second key point is that the levee that collapsed was just recently subject to massive reinforcement by the Army Corps. In other words, bringing the levees to full strength didn't prevent the problem.

Finally, the levees were built according to specs decided upon many years ago under rat leadership, to withstand a Level 3 hurricane. Katrina was a strong level 4. Whose fault is that?

[Captainpaintball]

Post #25 should also be addressed to you.

[Congressman Billybob]

This is regurgitated vomit from the New York Times. It is as dishonest and incompetent in the Washington Post as it was in the Times. Only, since the Post is a day late, they could have been warned off the story by the simple method of reading the blogs on the Internet.

That makes the reporters and editors at the twice times the fool. Click below as to why.

 People have been talking for years about what would happen should a hurricane this size hit that city, and I'd be willing to bet you there were lots of federal dollars passed from hand to hand over the years to prepare for this.
I will be astounded if some of those reporters don't ask the obvious questions: Where did the money go, why weren't officials prepared? It's not like it was a secret this could happen someday.

 There are already the accusations that federal money was diverted away from improving NO's levee system for other purposes, likely the war.Yes, Sidney Blumenthal already planted that political urban press using the foreign press to launder out the Clinton fingerprints. The way to shoot it down is to explain that the fed money was there but because LA refused to put up any of the state matching funds that were required by law before the fed money could be spent. Since LA made it clear for several years that they weren't going to provide those matches and expected the feds to pay 100%, the money was diverted to other needs, of which there were many.

 There will be congressional hearings.

Let's hope they're brutally honest hearings, too. There's massive corruption involved here, as well as unbelievable incompetence, and (in the case of the looters) a fair bit of a society reaping what it has sown.

Hi. It is most interesting to meet another Uncle Joe. Forgive me for being somewhat abrupt, but Joe, you simply are not cut from the cloth that would otherwise enable you to enjoy a long and prosperous time in our company.

Now is *NOT* the time for this sort of political slander. Now is the time to work on relief.

[Recovering_Democrat]

LOL. yeah, this is Bush's fault. NO ONE KNEW New Orleans was a sitting duck--Bush hid it from them.

Jackass, thy name is "The Washington Post".
