you posted "so thats y the terrorists r gettin bombed."
"i'm scottish if you need to know.
actually that's now what subsidies do. they pay farmers for production not selling those producing artificially cheap food. xheaper than what can be produced in africa (where it would actually be cheaper if subisidies were removed). this puts african farmers out of jobs. no farmers = no food. on top of that are trade tarriffs preventing exports.
jerusalem, the west bank and the gaza strip are conquered jewish lands taken after the pre-emptive 6 day war. shelling refugee camps isn't a nice thing to do.
actually iraq is about land location and iran.
and before we started bombing them thee were no terrorits in iraq. al-qaeda had declared a jihad on the secualr state. had offered to defend saudi from it. had offered iran support as wel. they were not best friends."
we're you not referring to iraq (and my last paragraph) with that statement?
ok and ur arguing what????
well im out for today, peace out.

that first of all bombing terrorists from the air is quite random as they are quite hard to pickut from your normal run of the mill garden variety iraqi.
and that the terrorists weren't there before we started bombing iraq anyway.

This thread is about Katrina and nothing else. If you all wish to discuss terrorists, Iraq or anything else...go to another thread please.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
Michael Moore is quite biased, but everything I've seen of his presents a valid and thought-provoking point. While I don't agree that Bush deserves the blame for everything in the letter, I think he deserves at least partial blame for some of it. Plus, it's damn funny.
The sexy guy above in agreement with I am.
I like Kung-Fu.
One thing I did learn later today is that the levys were only designed for hurricanes up to category 3. They were never designed to stand up to category 4 or 5 hurricanes.
technically Katrina was a Cat 3 when it hit New Orleans. The levies weren't designed to withstand the huge storm surge associated with a Cat 4 or 5. Katrina's surge wasn't too huge in New Orleans, and thus the problems with the levies didn't appear initially. The breaches developed after the storm passed.
What a lot of people don't know is... The governer of Louisiana has literally 2,000 busses in sequence to remove the less fortunate in situations when weather may prohibit or damage the lands. When notified the situation may become rather vile it was ignored. Now those busses are underwater. The source to evacuate everyone, especially those without transportation was astonishingly denied. The federal leisure cannot step in and make decisions for the state. That is not their job. That is up to the governer of Louisiana.
So bitching and misguiding your angst torwards the president completely defeats the purpose. I apologize for handing out a rude awakening but anyone with the guts to defile the president on behalf of a lacking attitude provided by the governer is quite ignorant. Go do your research. The transportation was there. It was the fault of the state, not the government.
source?
It's located in the washington post. A full section devoted to pointing out Louisiana's ignorance when dealing with the situation. It's sort of hard to ignore a hurricane coming, then aid would be delayed atleast 3 days? I'd have to say, if aid is delayed then it'd be best to use the transportation. It's no secret, the transportation is there.
"Other federal and state officials pointed to Louisiana's failure to measure up to national disaster response standards, noting that the federal plan advises state and local emergency managers not to expect federal aid for 72 to 96 hours, and base their own preparedness efforts on the need to be self-sufficient for at least that period. "Fundamentally the first breakdown occurred at the local level," said one state official who works with FEMA. "
Did the city have the situational awareness of what was going on within it's borders? The answer was no."
what about the June 2005 $71.2 million cuts to the Army Corps of Engineers' funding to strengthen levies in and around New Orleans? Those cuts probably didn't have much effect in the last few months, but it indicates a total dismissal of the need to strengthen the levies for the inevitable storm that came last week and was expected to come any year now.
