Not to sound like an CENSORED but alot of people that come to this site would rather spend their time looking for files and posting ... (or to spam  )
Also, i dont think that having people marvel at every disaster that ever happens would help the situiation anaways. |

This is a big tragedy, but yet there are people that are more stupid than a drugged baboon, steal and shoot at others.
I´d shoot every civilian carrying a gun on the spot. |

 For further proof of what a sorry, callous, #*### response the Bush administration made to Hurricane Katrina, check the following timeline.
Bush & Co. were warned days in advance, and still Bush stayed on his five-week vacation and focused on ignoring the wishes of a mother of a soldier who died in Iraq to meet him.
The day after the hurricane hit, killing more than 1,000 people and leaving thousands more stranded and in danger of dying, Bush spoke about immigration with his Department of Homeland Security director and at a public forum in Arizona, did a birthday cake photo op, and attended at least one political fund-raiser on the West Coast, more than a thousand miles from the Gulf Coast. The next day, Bush tried to play guitar with a country singer as more people in New Orleans died.
Bush didn’t even call for a task force to work on the federal response to the disaster until a full two days after the hurricane hit. In his first major address on the crisis three days after Katrina hit, Bush “seemed casual to the point of carelessness” and did not seem to understand the depth of the problem, according to news reports.
Meanwhile, Bush administration officials like Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice spent the days after the hurricane hit going shopping in New York for shoes that cost several thousand dollars and seeing a Broadway show and the U.S. Open. Vice President CENSORED Cheney was missing in action and believed to be finalizing the purchase of a $2.9 million mansion in Maryland. And Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld took in a San Diego Padres baseball game.
Five days after the hurricane hit, when the criticism of Bush’s response to Katrina even reached the inner sanctum of the White House, Bush unleashed his campaign hatchet nazi Karl Rove to try to blame the slow response on Louisiana officials. Bush claimed no one knew the levees would break, despite reports from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and New Orleans for years that would occur. In 2002, Bush’s head of the Army Corps even resigned in frustration partly due to Bush’s budget cuts for flood control.
The message to this story? If you are hit by a major disaster and clinging to your life as floodwaters threaten to drown you in your home, don’t expect any help from the Bush administration. Bush & Co. are too busy going on vacation, attending sporting events, shopping for expensive shoes and homes and trying to hide from the mother of a son killed in a war they started to further their dreams of empire. |
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference. |
