Katrina victims and a single quote: |
|
From all who are victims of Katrina, her aftermath, and the incompetence of our government a single quote keeps coming to mind:
"Whoever reads this, if any remain to read it, weep for us who have no more tears. Pray for us who are damned alive."
I do not know where I read it or who said it, but whenever I see the devastation and those suffering it comes to mind. I think the number of deaths in this... I don't think there is a word to describe it... but I think the net loss of life will be much greater than 9/11.
If the Bush Administration cannot mobilize a simple mission to these places to bring food and water, let alone helping them escape flood waters, what are they hell are they going to do if we are *seriously* attacked by terrorists? (I.E. Biological or Nuclear Weapon?) We are doomed. Doomed by incompetence, greed, and utter stupidity.

and thinking "yup, they're sitting ducks. Their leader is brain dead, totally incompetent, and unfit to defend the nation."
And he's pissing us off.
Great.

What the hell could we do that would top this?
And the answer is "Absolutely nothing."
Bush has you completely bowled over. You bought his whole line.
Terrorism is ridiculous to a nation with THIS.
Bin Ladin is a guppy next to Katrina.
So WHAT if there's a terror strike? Baby, we won't even notice.
NATURE IS OUR ENEMY. It's time we noticed.

3. You make an excellent point |
|
We're supposed to be so all-out prepared for a terrorist attack, and this smirking son of a Bush can't (won't?) even handle a freakin' hurricane?
