Come on Bush get off your f****** ass and do some thing.


Funny I dont seen any relief effort coming from any other countries,
including yours.


Well its been 5 days so far, and so far nothing, or at least things are
just starting to happen.

It should not take 5 days should it.

I agree... we should have one of those Magic Wands like you folks have over
there that solves problems instantly.

Run along now and watch Eastenders.

Well, all things considered, I'd much rather be in the hurricane damage zone
right now than be faced with living in the UK if that tells you what I think
about the future prospects for that area versus yours.

Wrong. As of today the US has received offers of assistance from Canada, the
UK, France (!), Germany(!!), Venzuela(!!!), and Israel. There may be a
couple of others, but I forget.

Here is the complete list of nations offering assistance from today's
Washington Post:

"Offers have been received from Russia, Japan, Canada, France, Honduras,
Germany, Venezuela, Jamaica, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,
Switzerland, Greece, Hungary, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador,
Mexico, China, South Korea, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, NATO and the
Organization of American States, the spokesman said.

Also, the Singapore embassy said the Southeast Asian country was sending three
Chinook helicopters with 38 air force personnel from military exercises in
Texas, to Louisiana to support relief efforts by the Texas National Guard."

Yeah, Bush is the first President to ever go on vacation. Just today? what!
Whats taking so long! The outrage! This is supposed to happen overnight isnt
it?

A "New Orleans" couldn't happen in London,eh? It wouldn't have to be a
Hurricane to do a "New Orleans" on London.London is about sixty five
miles North of the South Coastline of England.I have a lady friend who
lives on the Coast over there about sixty five miles South/Southwest of
London.

Well if you insist, **** you!

It's all very well you fella's slagging off Mike, but the view from down
here in South Africa is similar:
Here we have the mightiest nation on earth, whose weather forecasters
predicted the hurricane Katrina would hit N. O. at least five days
beforehand. Your chief forecaster even said it would hit N.O. with winds of
160 mph and a huge storm flood two days ahead of the event. He described it
as being a storm that would exceed anything in recorded weather history.

Yet despite these dire warnings nothing was done until AFTER the tragedy

Questions I ask?
# Why was the National Guard not fully mobilised BEFORE the terrible
tragedy?
# The mayor asked people to leave the day before, but why was this not made
mandatory and every assistance given?
# Why were police reserves and rescue services not activated at the first
dire warnings several days beforehand?

I think it was dxAce who said that no one had ever had a tragedy on such a
scale before affecting a city of one million.
That is disingenuous - the fact is that the mighty U.S.A. has the biggest
and best resources on earth, the best brains, the best technology and
logistics, in fact every facility that the best in the world can provide to
mitigate and ameliorate such a disaster, yet too little was done too late.

I'm sorry fella's, instead of trying to give poor old Mike a stuffing, you
should rather ferret out those slimy bureaucrats and politicians who are
responsible for this gigantic SNAFU.

In the meantime my sincere best wishes to the hard pressed citizens of
Louisiana.

I feel sory for them, I realy do. As for our help, then if Sky news are
not lying then Blair has said he will help and why not.

You need help from any quarter, because so far Bush has been an inadequate
president. See Sky news and listen to the people they are all saying the
same thing and that is. "Where is the help, please help us", FACT

Ohhhhh dont worry Mr Bush has been on Sky news saying "Be pateint"
Its OK for him to say that he isnt in the **** as they are is he.
As for the looters some are just that. Others are looting for food and
clean water and medicine, I dont blame them they are trying to survive,
trying to get to the next say.

So go on have a go because I have critisized your all powerfull Mr Bush.
He isnt so powerfull in the end is he, 5 days and not alot is happening.
Thats a TOTAL disgrace to all you Americans.

You all deserve something better than that.

Or are ANY of you saying 5 days is OK? How would you feel if you were in
the exact same conditions as they are after 5 days would you loot to feed
your loved one or partner or starve and not do any thing for your self?

(get ready to tell me "**** you") saying that to me WILL NOT alter the
facts, no matter how you want to defend My Bush.

It hasn't been 5 days yet. The storm hit on Monday morning.

Things got significantly worse on Tuesday when major breaches opened in
levees.

The disaster area covers 90,000 square miles. (233,100 square kilometers)

Here's a story indicating rescuers were having trouble getting to the area:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4199350.stm

It was last updated on Wednesday just after noon in the UK - very early
morning in the disaster area. It reflects information gathered on Tuesday.

Sure it would be nice if we could have gotten enough people and supplies
in sooner - but it's not a trivial task.
