Why is DART still not allowed in??

[Canuck55]

This is my first topic i've posted in 4 years here, but i can't take this anymore.

WHY IS CANADA'S DART FORCE STILL NOT ALLOWED ACROSS THE BORDER?

WHY IS KARL ROVE DIRECTING YOUR ADMINISTRATIONS ACTIONS DURING A TIME OF NATIONAL CRISIS??

For God's Sake, as of Wednesday morning DART could have been producing 12500 gallons of purified drinking water from any contaminated source in 4 differnt locations for an output of 50000 GALLONS OF DRINKING WATER A DAY. But no chance Rove will let someone outside help until Fuckwad gets back into the swing after his vacation and they can organize some sweet photo-ops for '06.

PEOPLE ARE STILL DYING

FUCK THEM.

1. * himself has instructed the government to refuse aid from >12 foreign

countries. Telling post is on the HOME page.

I'm nominating this, perhaps someone has/will do a synthesis post of examples of refused aid.

Nominated.

3. I heard the French offered some vital help

with clean water purification systems but haven't heard if * accepted
No doubt many nations around the world walk with glee America was dealt a blow most nations only drean of.I heard an arab say,Allah has brought the infidel country severe hardships.At one time {before *}countries around the world would have been on hand to help in a catastrophe,it indirectly effects them because if we cant move product
in massive quantities like before Katrina the ripple will be felt even overseas.
One more thing,there is a possibility of another storm hitting the Gulf Coast within the next 2 weeks.Out in the Atlantic is T.D.15 and
has the look of developing a named storm.Its not to predict even more damage will follow.America will need all the help offered by then and shoulod no one show I wouldn't be surprised, The Bush Crime Family has damaged the Country's good name in 4 short years...

2. US has access to clean bottled water from all ove rthe country.

Dart can clean water but it would only be useful at a place like the Dome in NO. Dart works out of one site and cleans dirty water to make it drinkable for thousands. Then it would have to be transported the same as the bottled water lined up in NO.

Since the Dome is being emptied and water will arrive overnight..I don't think Dart can help that much there.

In a place like Sri Lanka where people are dependant on local wells and then get displaced to places where there is not enough capacity or the local water is compromised..then they can go in and set up shop and be effective. Since all the people will be moved out of NO to places that have water systems.. and since the distribution of clean water not the supply is the problem in NO, not the availability of bottled water - I am not surprised Dart cannot help.

4. It's not just the water

DART has medical staff, civil engineers and communications experts specialized in immediate disaster response. If it was a big deal politicaly they could have covered the flags on their uniforms and slipped across quietly, it isn't a situation to worry about whether Reuters will pick up the story.

5. That would embarrass Bush. Sitting on a boiling city was fine for him.

But don't make him look bad by forcing him to accept outside military help. He is "boy wonder".

7. It would force * to admit he made a mistake

in sending the bulk of the Louisiana , Mississippi and Alabama National Guard to Iraq for his optional invasion and occupation.
* doesn't make mistakes.
Remember??
