  Scorp, You are incredibly self-deluded. Clinton passed legislation in '95 to authorize the rebuilding of the levees around N.O. and to shore-up the Gulf Coast, as well to formulate a detailed evacuation plan for these regions. In '03 Bush oversaw the destruction of these plans and funding of the rebuilding so that the funds could go to Iraq. Now we stand on the verge of having helped to create a new fascist theocracy bound by history and culture to Iran. What a piece of crap! FEMA reports to and takes orders directly from the President of the United States. There is …

  You are absolutely right, Tim. This is the beginning of the end for the Bush Crime Family. Wait until Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald drops the bomb on the Rove/Plame investigation. It's going to dovetail in nicely with the Downing Street Minutes, and the truth will be there for everyone to see-- Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, et al lied LIED LIED LIED, and continue to lie to the American people and Congress. Not just a mantra, as Scorp would like to believe, but cold, hard facts. Can we spell I-M-P-E-A-C-H-M-E-N-T hearings?

  Note to those who want to blame those NOT in charge of FEDERAL disaster response: Sen. Landrieu said: “Yesterday, I was hoping President Bush would come away from his tour of the regional devastation triggered by Hurricane Katrina with a new understanding for the magnitude of the suffering and for the abject failures of the current Federal Emergency Management Agency. 24 hours later, the President has yet to answer my call for a cabinet-level official to lead our efforts. Meanwhile, FEMA, now a shell of what it once was, continues to be overwhelmed by the task at hand. “I understand that …

  It's nice to see that someone out there is cognizant of the term "blow back". I just am shocked that people like "Isthisthingon" still blindly bow to the altar of the anti-Christ Bush. He is so opposite of Chrisitanity, it is deeply saddening to realize that most Americans bowing before him have no clue what Jesus even said. If they did, he'd be out on his ass. To go into Iran will only consolidate the bond between the Iraqi Shiites and the Shiite government in Iran. We will only castrate and isolate ourselves further with an invasion. Of course, Bush has …

  Reading Scorp and IsThisThingOn's responses make me laugh. How easy it is to call everyone who disagrees with this Administration a "liberal". We know that we've been lied to via the DSM's and the Plame affair. It will be fun to see all the filth come out in the laundry as time goes on. How wrong you are ITTO, to believe I am a pacifist. I am not. I would have gladly gone myself into Afghanistan with our troops to catch and quarter Osama bin Laden. But at 47, that's not too likely. I own several guns and love to shoot …
