Katrina's fury felt in Iraq, Hudsonville chaplain says
http://www.mlive.com/news/grpress/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1126709258289480.xml&coll=6

After more than a year of bloodshed in Baghdad, the Louisiana soldiers were eager to return home. snip

Others seethed as they watched the criminal mayhem in New Orleans, "where some American citizens with their looting and shootings were acting like the wicked insurgents that we had to deal with over here," Wagenmaker wrote.

He has listened as soldiers told him about what they lost, their families being uprooted and their worries about returning home. He helped them reconnect with loved ones, and prayed with them when they wondered where God was in Katrina's fury.

"I point them to the cross," Wagenmaker wrote. "That is God's response to Katrina. That is where God walked with us in our misery, took part in our tragedies."

1. ahhh-like the 'wicked' insurgents??
Did any of them notice in their outrage that the guy sitting in the prison cell over there because he "gased his own people" kind of reminds them of the lump of shit in the Oval Office who "drowned his own people"??---or for that matter, sent them to get their heads blown off for the oil companies?? If what went on in NO is okay with them and only the "looting" (give me some food & water) bothered them, then we need to rethink the whole "volunteer military" idea. They obviously have no clue what democracy and humane treatment even mean.
