VANITY: Levees deliberately opened to kill black people
MSNBC | 9-5-05 | self

Posted on 09/05/2005 7:38:59 AM PDT by staytrue

Former presidents, Bush and Clinton gave a news conference today. Towards the end, as Bush and Clinton were walking off the stage, at about 10:20 am EST, I heard a female reporter shout a last question that went "how do you respond to rumors that the levees were intentionally opened ?"

Can you imagine the conspiracy theories if Gov. Blanco had given the feds control of the state on Friday like Bush asked for so they could evacuate NO. If the dikes had broken while under Bush control.

LOL! Dems were foolish not giving feds control as soon as they asked, all of this could then truly been at lain at Bush's feet and conspiracy theories would be out of control. Now when the times lines come out dems are in deep trouble.

You HAVEN'T made your case...that's the whole point. You keep saying, 'she was close.'

My logic has not veered off. You keep repeating yourself by saying 'she was close' and that's it.

Your every rebuttal to me is, are you ready...'she was close.' You are defending her statements, and by defending them, you are defending her. How can you not see that?

You can put no stock in that report, it merely quotes the line (which could have been mis-heard) and then makes a story around their interpretation of it.

Both "CIA" or "CYA" could have made sense if he felt he was going to be blamed after the fact and was paranoid about it.

There is no context to his quote, I would want to hear the actual sound bite and the context in which he said it before making a judgement. Did he make more specific comments about the CIA like that they would investigate him, or did he make comments that others would shift blame to him? I didn't hear the comment myself, so I have no idea what else was said.

Just for those who are interested in the history of the Clintons and their war to silence those of us who are now using the internet to expose wrongdoings - I HIGHLY recomend you read the book "Hillary's Secret War" by Richard Poe. It tells the story about the Mena Airport and all the other stories ignored by the MSM but exposed by those "men in pajama" warriors (including the moderator of this site).

levees were intentionally opened

This kind of thinking is shared by a lot of people on the left. I can't believe how distorted their thinking is.

I have that. An autographed copy from the author himself.

You're right. It's an excellent read.

Richard Poe is a FReeper, too.

You just don't want to face the truth, so go ahead and continue to live in your make believe world.

NEW ORLEANS - The cursing had stopped. The tears were gone. Mayor Ray Nagin returned from his meeting with President Bush on Friday a picture of calm, leaning back against a railing in a hotel lobby that for the first time in nearly five days wasn‘t filled with stranded tourists.

"Today was a turning point, I think," he said. "My philosophy is never get too high, never get too low. ... I always try to keep my emotions in check and yesterday I kind of went off a little bit. I was worried about that, but it maybe worked out. I don‘t know. If the CIA slips me something and next week you don‘t see me, you‘ll all know what happened."

http://www.leadingthecharge.com/stories/news-0067417.html

"Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans went on the tube and started screaming and cursing that the government wasn’t doing anything to help anyone in his city. He bellowed that he didn’t want to see anyone talking in a news conference anymore. He said this to the news media, of course. When it comes to all the people trying to help, Nagin said, "There’s one guy here that I trust," (a certain general). So the mayor believes everyone else risking their lives to save the city he failed is untrustworthy. Mayor Nagin, you are all done, mister. You failed to prepare your city for the long-awaited monster storm everyone knew would one day arrive. Your city is one of the most murderous in the country. You can’t get nearly enough cops to work in your city because of low pay and extreme danger. You had no enforceable mandatory evacuation plan whatsoever. And now you are telling the world that it’s everyone’s fault but your own. You didn’t even have a plan to evacuate the hospitals. You demonstrated just how much of a screwball you are when you told an Associated Press reporter: "If the CIA slips me something next week and you don’t see me, you’ll all know what happened." You followed up this bizarre statement with another to CNN, saying live on national television that you are petrified the "CIA make take me out." Buddy, you are a paranoid freak who belongs somewhere other than in office. The CIA has far more important people to deal with than you, lad. How a clueless buffoon such as yourself ever became mayor of a major American city ranks among mysteries right up there with Marion Barry."

"heard a female reporter shout a last question that went "how do you respond to rumors that the levees were intentionally opened ?"


They should have respond with, "We don't"


A meteorologist or one of those weather experts said the river started over flowing and also the retention walls are only two feet thick, the water eventually flowed over the walls, weakening them and the rest happened.

Dems were foolish not giving feds control as soon as they asked, all of this could then truly been at lain at Bush's feet

I think if the dems had given the feds control, the law and order aspect would have gone much better, ditto for the evacuation. Even the flooding may have been better controlled. Either way the dems lose.

let's see, 20 tons of bottle water = 40,000lbs of water = 40,000/8.345 = 4742 gallons of water or just over half a tanker truck of water or a small water truck used to wet down roads

Excellent analysis. Conservatives can add and subtract, Liberals can not even remember to put the drain plug back in their boat before launching it.

A more serious question is how corrupt is Jesse Jackson?

Why would a national figure place himself next to a confessed enemy of the US, who has implemented bioweapons labs from Cuba with the intent to hit America, who then claims he wants to provide us with 10 pallets of his specially bottled drinking water?

I know I wouldn't care to drink a specially processed fluid coming from a madman who brags about his bioweapons labs.

What you do you mean "I don't want to face the truth?"

I just told you that I had not seen any context, only the one line quote.

Now you have provided the additional context I am in complete agreement with you.

It wasn't about "not facing the truth", it was about not jumping to conclusions without all the information, which is something the press does all the time.
