1. The only difference would be
It would be considered treason to point out what a clusterfuck it was.

2. And apparently if the Gov/Mayor were dead, the people of N.O.
would still be waiting for help? After all it's up to the "locals" ...

3. I was thinking the same thing a few days ago
Homeland Security did not have any provisions for this scenario, apparently.

What is scary is that it is clear that the Homeland Security Department is a sham. Maybe that is why former Gov. Ridge resigned. :shrug:

4. Not true, Bush would drop nuclear bombs on Iraq....
...and the rest of the country would be united behind Bush's actions. The same fate would befall the poor folks of New Orleans and other hurricane devastated ares, but the media would not be focused on that, you would see attention all aimed at the military response to the terrorists.

5. Yea
We'd be bombing the shit out of a country somewhere in Asia, like Iran or Syria right about now.

We'd also hear a LOT more out Chimp's mouth about how the turrists will be hunted down ...yada yada

WOW, how would I know that??????? :sarcasm:

6. And how many levees are
there along the Mississippi River? How many other levees are there? How many dams are there that would release floods to how many cities? There is a dam within a mile of my house. I don't think the flashing light and buoys will keep out any determined terrorist. And the whole world knows that our government can't handle water.
