RE: [RC] Hurricane Fallout - Jim Holland

Bush doesn't make decisions based on logic and valid information.  He has
proved that over and over.  Iraq and stem cell research come to mind.  He
"consults a higher power". Wonder what "higher power" he consulted in this
case?

It's like the story about the guy sitting on the roof of his house in a
flood. A helicopter came by and offered a rescue.  He said, "No, I'm fine.
God will provide."  Two boats came by and offered a rescue and he gave them
the same answer.  Soon, the floodwaters rose and he drowned.  When he got to
Heaven, he said, "Lord, why didn't you save me?".  The Lord replied, "I sent
you a helicopter and two boats.  What else did you want?"

He knew...and had enough warning to deal with it...he chose not to. He had
many examples of what was going to happen in Iraq...Viet Nam comes to
mind...and chose to ignore that as well.

His election may have been the will of the people, and hindsight is 20/20,
but he follows his own personal agenda, which is NOT in the best interests
of our country. JMHO.

Hindsight is always 20/20 or in this case it's 10/10.     
NO >>ONE...not even the President of the United States 
foresaw the >>devastation 

I'm sorry but I have to say that this is just not true.  The 
President of the US and FEMA and HOME LAND SECURITY knew, 
they were briefed on exactally what would happen in New 
Orleans if a catagory 4 or above hurricane would hit,  right 
down to the  levies failing and the body count.  Go hide your 
head in the sand and pray a natural dissaster does not hit your town.

And the Army Corp of Engineers was adamant about the potential, particularly
with a severe storm season prediction, when their funding was cut. 

They (George Bush, FEMA, HOME LAND SECURITY and on down the chain) gambled,
even though the odds were stacked against them. They were gambling with our
money, too.

With the warm water temp in the Atlantic, this is probably just be the first
of many bad storms of the year....
