I am proud to say that as a little old South African in a third world
country at the Southern tip of darkest Africa we had a devastating flood
in
my little town in 2002.
The skies had not even cleared from the raging storm when the air force
choppers arrived in force.
They rescued those in need, brought in emergency personnel and special
riot
police to prevent looting.
Although the flood put out water supplies, washed away our connecting
roads,
power and sewerage systems, mighty teams of specialists arrived within
hours
and all services were restored within 48 hours except the roads that
took a
few days longer. The choppers brought in food until the roads were
reconstructed.

I felt very proud to be a South African at that time and was immensely
grateful for the smooth running and super national rescue effort that
took
place seemingly so easily, like a well oiled machine.

What happened to mighty America...???

Well, we're still here... and guess what? You're still in a third world
country
that can't take care of it's own problems... do a Google on AIDS or a
host of
other problems. And guess where your little third world country has
begged in
the past? The USA. Guess where it will continue to beg in the future? The
USA.

We'll be OK... I can't really say the same for South Africa.

What did the Federal Emergency Management Agency do...???

Exactly what they're supposed to do, considering the enormity of the
problem.

Heads should roll for this debacle - it is inexcusable in a superpower
with
all America's vast resources.

I guess we'll have to decide that issue. It certainly won't be up to you
or a
third world country like South Africa to decide whether heads should or
will
roll.

Have a pleasant evening.

Um, Jack, you gotta realize that if you criticize our country a lot of
people, like the Drakeman, are going to get ****ed. You're going to catch
a
lot of heat. It's the "our country is better than your country" attitude.

The truth is, the enormity of the problem is more than the emergency
agencies had ever planned for and they are still, at this late date,
having
trouble getting their arms around it. The lack of leadership, starting
with
the president and FEMA head Michael Brown is so appalling that even
conservatives are calling for their heads. The Prez, probably at the
urging
of his handlers, cancelled his vacation and flew over the hurricane
ravaged
Gulf Coast. After considerable criticism he started making more
appearances
on camera with other federal and local officials, with lots of
back-slapping
and promises. But relief is slow and sporatic. Michael Brown admitted on
a
television interview that he was unaware that 20,000 people had been told
to
go to the convention center and wait for help. They were abandodned there
for days without food & water. He said in the interview he would take
immediate action. It was several days before help finally arrived.
Michael
Brown belongs in prison. Despite what the right-wing apologists on this
NG
might tell you, the truth is if Bush were running for re-election he would
be soundly defeated, as a result of his lack of leadership in this
enormous
tragedy as well as dissatisfaction with his handling of the Iraq situation
in the opinion of the majority of Americans.

Brace yourself - gratuitous flaming to follow.

Morning Greg

And how the head leader of "HomeLand Security" Michael Chertoff that the bow
legged hick put in charge. Even Bill O Reilly said this guy should be fired.
He had "no idea" what was going on even though it was ALL OVER THE TV ON
EVERY CHANNEL and ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVERY NEWPAPER. He had "no idea"
people were abandoned in the Superdome.

Of course, we know he is a blatant liar like his boss bush. That has to be
the lamest excuse I ever heard. Everybody knew what was going on in NO, BUT,
the HEAD of our "Homeland Security" didn't know what was going on. If it's
true he's the most inept moron in the world in charge of our protection. If
it's a lie, he is still the most inept moron in charge of your families
protection but is also a biggot and doesn't actually believe in his faith.
Gee I thought bush {Flight Suit Man} only appointed "righteous" people??

What this event did is show the world and terrorists that the bush
administration is totally inept, nothing but "talk", all about bull****,
nothing to back themselves up, no leadership, no proper critical
communications in an emergency and how they view their own poor people.

The terrorists see a target that will collapse under easy conditions. Much
easier then they thought. This event taught them much thanks to bush and his
appointed buddies.

Now YOU ARE THE TARGET EVEN MORE then before.

I am embarrassed by bush and his total administration. Yes embarrassed by
the rest of the world. G-D forbid if this was a terrorist attack of the
deadly kind. A bio or dirty bomb and bush would go hide in some bunker along
with cheney and his gay buddy Rove.

As you can see, Homeland Security is nothing but a shame put on to impress
dunmmies like dxace, beerbrain,jd and their kind. You see, they believe it
truly exists and works. They don't think this is major catastrophe in itself
besides the hurricane. They see nothing else but "bad weather". Amazing
isn't it.

Yes, people around the world and the terrorists see who we really are and
how we act under chaos and confusion under this administration.

The hurricane happened on Monday.I still can't believe that Chertoff had the
audacity, the lack of respect for the Americans people intelligence, to say
on Thurs he had NO IDEA that people were stranded in the Superdome with NO
FOOD, WATER, MEDICINES OR SECURITY.

So by Thurs, the leader, head honcho of our "Homeland Security said, "I had
no idea" blah blah blah....

Now go be good blobs of human waste and have another beer while wearing your
Radio cap and living off the public.

The other day it was a Diego Garcia cap, today it's a radio cap.

You are one delusional ****stain there boy!

Now go take your meds and calm down.
