Not To Be Redundant....
This story is ongoing, so if you read this and feel that I am harping on an issue, I am. The reason I harp is simple: the more information we get, the more obvious it becomes (even to conservatives) that the "Blame George Bush" list has just been added to.
How Do You Like These Apples?
"One time I took two pieces of steel into Mitch Daniels' office," Parker recalled. "They were exactly the same pieces of steel, except one had been under water in a Mississippi lock for 30 years, and the other was new. The first piece was completely corroded and falling apart because of a lack of funding. I said, 'Mitch, it doesn't matter if a terrorist blows the lock up or if it falls down because it disintegrates -- either way it's the same effect, and if we let it fall down, we have only ourselves to blame.' It made no impact on him whatsoever." Mike Parker, the former head of the Army Corps of Engineers, speaking to Mitch Daniels, former director of the Office of Management and Budget, A Bush Abomination post
Would You Prefer These?
"It's a national disgrace. FEMA has been in the city for three days, yet there is no command and control. The U.S. can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims in Asia but can't bail out the city of New Orleans. The evacuation is almost entirely a Louisiana operation." Terry Ebbert local co-ordinator of the Office of Homeland Security in New Orleans, criticizing FEMA
Now, why is FEMA unfunded? Why did they cut the Budget to SELA (South East Louisiana Administration) flood mitigation project?
To cut taxes to the wealthiest Americans and to wage war on nations that have no involvement in 9/11.
As a nation, we have a lot of soul searching to do. How much more can we take? How much more can he do?
