This is and your other posts are most helpful, allowing us to put our energy to some positive purpose. Thanks very much.

I just can't shake the reality that the post hurricane inundation of New Orleans was completely avoidable, within the know-how of our civilization's technology. And BUSH blocked that preventive use of proven technology (science), and that's right in line with his backward thinking about science taught in schools, and science benefitting family planning via birth control, and science being used to help the Iraqi people save their own nation with repaired infrastructure, and on and on. But this is worse than just a horrible BUSH backwardness. It also is mean-spirited and vengeful and sadistic, with those BUSH resents suffering the most (Blacks, Democrats, blue state National Guard and Reserve troops...).

Did Bush, when he denied New Orleans the Federal funds to complete vital water projects, act as a domestic terrorist against the people of the United States?

It sure looks to me like the ENTIRE Gulf Coast wiped out as it is, is just the type of blank canvas the Neo Cons LOVE to use for their fascist privitization experiments. Since Iraq backfired and they couldn't use it for their distribution of wealth/resources tabula rasa scheme, the Neo Cons have been looking for another geographic laboratory to PROVE TO THE WORLD HOW BRILLIANT THEY [think] ARE! And here it is. The Gulf Coast. They won't even have to deal with residents as they've all been transformed into refugees. I'm sure they envision the new city rising golden and shining according to their template. IN THE MEANTIME, the Petroleum Industry's by-product industries, THE PHARMACEUTICAL and PESTICIDE INDUSTRIES, will make a killing getting government money for all those items Bush mentioned in today's disaster speech to "control" the swamp sicknesses arising from the warm and stagnant floodwaters. "WHEEE," are the gleeful cries of those who profit NO MATTER WHAT 'cause it always works out that way when they are in control.

Some of you people are sickening. How could you politicize something like a natural disaster that devasted homes and destroyed lives. It was Democrats, Republicans, and Independents--Americans that lost everything.

So, neither G.W. Bush or Brown at FEMA or Chertoff at Homeland Security could have anticipated the levees breaking.

No only are the levees around New Orleans breaking a well known catastrophic scenario that has been written about extensively, but isn't it the JOB of the President, FEMA and Homeland Security to ANTICIPATE disasters that have never happened before.

This is playing out again and again with this administration . . .

The administration did not anticipate planes flying in to the World Trade Center - yet the Presidential Daily Briefing spelled out just that scenario.

The same with Hurricane Katrina.

Do you think the next time there is an "attack" on this country, the attacker will have the courtesy to notify the President and Chertoff about 72 hours in advance, so the attack will be "anticipated"??

This administration promotes itself as being the only administration that would be able to keep American citizens safe.

Well, that claim just went bye-bye. Have Bush tell that "keep you safe" line to the more than 10,000 United States citizens that we all anticipate have perished in this "non-anticipated" Katrina disaster.
