Who is the problem here, Bush or the mayor?
SouthernDemocrat said:Wait a minute. Nagin wanting people to come back was a bad idea. No doubt about it. However, he wanted people to return to areas that had never flooded like the Garden district. Even with the recent levee breaks, those people would have all still been high and dry.

GIVE IT UP! The area where Mayor Nagin wanted the people to come back to was NOT FLOODED!!!
Lucky??? Ya! We are ALSO lucky the MOON didn't fall on us!!!:roll: :roll: :doh :doh
Stinger said:Your really thinkg there is a chance the moon would fall on us, a chance anywhere near the chance that more levies would fail in New Orleans? Amazing.

BUSH!!!:cowboy: Of course! He made Nagins head spin since day one when Bush sent the troops in a WEEK later causing hundreds of people to DIE!
Face the TRUTH!:doh Bush just DID NOT care about Louisiana!!!
He also wanted the people to LEAVE before they were NOT FLOODED...taxpayer said:GIVE IT UP! The area where Mayor Nagin wanted the people to come back to was NOT FLOODED!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------Nez Dragon said:Please post proof that Bush "made Nagins head spin" and that sending the troops in caused hundreds to die.
Oh wait, I forgot, hundreds did die when the troops went in. The people who died were the looters who were taking plasma screen TVs and laptops instead of the food and water they should have been getting, as well as the gang members who were shooting helicopters trying to evacuate hospital patients. I have no sympathy for them. Do you?
When Bush heard about N.O., he went straight to the White House, called on Congress to pass a relief bill, asked Clinton and Bush Sr. to go on relief advertising, and went down himself to the areas affected FIVE TIMES. Jesus Christ (pardon me) people, what the hell more do you want? Do you just expect the federal government to come in and save you and reimburse you every time something bad happens??? The evacuation was not the President's job. Calling upon the National Guard was not the President's job. It is the state and local government's job. And until they ask for it, providing federal assisstance is not the President's job. That is the law. If you don't like it, go live in France where the government does take care of your every little need (well, they do take it upon themselves to run your lives, not to mention, didn't thousands of senior citizens die in the heat wave a few summers ago because the government wouldn't allow the people to come back from vacation? Gee, maybe France isn't the best choice after all).
I am sick and damn tired of people whining that Bush is to fault, Bush didn't do enough, Bush is an idiot, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! For the last time, Bush did not start the hurricane to kill all the black people in New Orleans (and yes, people do believe that). If you believe that too, there are places that can help you, with nice people and everything. Hey, they even put you in those white rooms with cushy walls and the jacket that makes you hug yourself and feel special (if my description is off, please forgive me, I have not been there personally). You sheeple need to stop believing everything you hear and go to more places than Moveon.org, because many members of the Left just spout what their shepherds say, with no facts to back it up. Otherwise it makes you look stupid and ignorant.
'Nuff said.

Canuck said:Bush Blew The Levees
cnredd said:And thus Canuck destroys another thread...The anti-debater strikes again...
It's not the particulars of any one thread that I'm talking about...He just throws out whatever is on the top of his head...He's posted things that are so far off the wall, much less off-topic, that any debatable arguments from the origial thread are dropped...AK_Conservative said:I dont know about his other posts on this subject, but i think he was being sarcastic! Though, I could be wrong! :lol: But still.. bad post he did... Its them canadians man! :rofl

Most members of the forums do not start at the beginning and read every post...They go from the last few...
Example...How would you like to go to a thread and read this?...or even this?...
One time, he even tried this...
It just degrades the forum...
AK_ What can you expect from a socialist though! :lol:[/QUOTE said:Off topic but: all we ever get from Alaskan Conservatives is, "drill damn it, drill" I'm happy there it at least one out there at least thinking about other things besides ANWR and gun controle. In betwean stomping out marijuana legilisation.
Stinger said:Anyone speaking from a common sense point of view would surely have to say Nagin. You can look and see how the state of Texas followed procedure, todl the feds exactly what they needed and where and they got it.
Two sentences later...getinvolved said:If anyone is to blame it begins with Bush.
getinvolved said:Blaming people at this point is simply counterproductive.
cnredd said:Two sentences later...
Anything else?...:roll:
Nooooo...It was a cheap shot...unless you misunderstood the "question originally posed"...getinvolved said:Thanks for your imput. But you failed to realize the intention, "IF" anyone was to blame being the key word.
I was repsonding to the question originally posed, while making the point that passing blame around is not what needs to be done right now.
cnredd said:Nooooo...It was a cheap shot...unless you misunderstood the "question originally posed"...
The levee has now broken. If incompetent Mayor Nagin had his way, hundreds/thousands would have been under water again.
Who is the problem here, Bush or the mayor?
"Here" represents the situation, which is "the levee has now broken"...
Seeing as how Bush(nor his FEMA appointee) had NOTHING to do with any insistance, declaration, suggestions, or speeches where they were for some people of New Orleans returning to their homes, this was rhetorical question...
Bush had nothing to do with this aspect...
In fact, I will go so far as to say that the question was meant to show that some people here will blindly take shots at the President, even though the situation was irrelevant to anything he's done...
I can see that this was acheived...
