how can bush get past Katrina & back to the glorious wars?

[mopaul]

this whole storm business is a real irritant to dubya and his war pig pals, a detour from mother nature that has thrown a gigantic wrench into bush's genocidal, masturbatory war plans.

the damn screaming poor black folks in new orleans aren't appreciated too much either, and they've taken all the attention away from the war on terror that was going so swimmingly.

what will it take to get americans back on track fighting terror? you don't wanna know.

1. This is how..

By repeatedly refering 9/11 to katrina.

5. 9/11 + Katrina = Bush will screw you next terrorist attack

so yeah, I think he should continue linking the 2 in people's minds.

[radfringe]

2. by the numbers

1. increase non-specific, vague terra-lerts

2. prime-time specials about scuba diving hamsters carrying bio-weapons

3a. terra-attack

3b. booga-booga charges about nukes in Iran and/or Syria giving terrorists safe haven

4. spin the Axis of Evil and invade some country

[mopaul]

3. wow! you can actually predict the future!

all of these scary scenarios are plausible

[radfringe]

4. katrina put a slight kink in the "plans"

not to worry though - 2006 mid-terms are coming up and the repugs will need something to pull their collective butts out of the fire

terra-terra-terra worked in 2002 and 2004 - no reason NOT to believe it won't work again

what won't work again is the "you are safer with bush*/GOPers" line of crap

speaking of crap... On the way home yesterday I was stuck behind a large farm truck carrying what looked like manure. The truck sported a bumper sticker that said "Support OUR poops"

6. Mopaul, Time magazine revealed "Bush's Comeback Plan" already!

1. Throw money at NO, with no concern of how to pay 2. Blame Democrats 3. Cut Rich Peoples Taxes

By late last week, Administration aides were describing a three-part comeback plan. The first: Spend freely, and worry about the tab and the consequences later. "Nothing can salve the wounds like money," said an official who helped develop the strategy. "You'll see a much more aggressively engaged President, traveling to the Gulf Coast a lot and sending a lot of people down there."

The second tactic could be summed up as, Don't look back. The White House has sent delegates to meetings in Washington of outside Republican groups who have plans to blame the Democrats and state and local officials. In the meantime, it has no plans to push for a full-scale inquiry like the 9/11 commission, which Bush bitterly opposed until the pressure from Congress and surviving families made resistance futile. Congressional Democrats have said they are unwilling to settle for anything less than an outside panel, but White House officials said they do not intend to give in, and will portray Democrats as politicking if they do not accept a bipartisan panel proposed by Republican congressional leaders. Ken Mehlman, the party's chairman and Bush's campaign manager last year, told TIME that viewers at home will think it's "kind of ghoulish, the extent to which you've got political leaders saying not 'Let's help the people in need' but making snide comments about vacations."

The third move: Develop a new set of goals to announce after Katrina fades. Advisers are proceeding with plans to gin up base-conservative voters for next year's congressional midterm elections with a platform that probably will be focused around tax reform.Because Bush will need a dynamic salesman to make sure that initiative goes better than his Social Security proposal, advisers tell TIME there is once again talk of replacing Treasury Secretary John Snow. There are no plans to delay tax cuts to pay for the New Orleans reconstruction or the Iraq war, and Bush is likely to follow through on his vow to veto anticipated congressional approval of increased federal funding for embryonic-stem-cell research.
