1. We are less safe now than we were before 8/29
We have exposed our soft underbelly to the terrorists in the world and they see that if they can create massive havoc, the confusion that ensues in what passes for leadership in this country will cause twice as many casualties AT LEAST.

in the event of an attack, I recommend putting your head between your legs and kissing your ass goodbye....

3. so let me get this straight....


We're dying "over there," (aka "fighting the war on terrorism")so we don't have to die HERE.

But we're dying here and there and so much of this was avoidable.


NOW we can get ready for much more compounded catastrophe if something else happens.

Hey, at least Australia, Britain, Cuba, Kuwait, etc. will be over here to help, eh? Can you believe this shit!????

7. Ironic isn't it???


The crowds chanting "we want help," in front of the Superdome sent a message out to the entire world. YES we need help. And frankly, I think it will do that ass-backward republican country to have to start dealing with the rest of the world.

I'm glad international help is coming, and I hope it comes in full force.

6. Sure proves that point, huh? Most Dems have beern saying this
all along, and the Pubs keep saying we haven't had an attack on the US since 9/11 so Shrub is doing a great job! We'll be ready ot handle ANYTHING!

Well, it looks like we're prepared for NOTHING!
