SELA, Katrina, and the Iraq War..

Where anywhere in my statement does it say bush... (the article describes Bush's mostly in reference to his  budget 4 times hardly muck raking..  I bet next you will claim editor and publisher is some democrat mag / biased crapola..)

Valiant effort fellas..

Glad to be the dark horse RIP.. even though I didn't blame anyone just pointed out some facts..

See our budget in the USA gets submitted by the president then to congress for approval..

so in reality there is a whole gaggle with partial blame to lay..

I really love how you fellas just invent statements..  say you just took words out of context i'd could understand your actions but pure fabrication is getting a little old and busted ..  please think up some new tactics..

thank you..


If you actually took the time to do some research you'll see im right..  just like when you people said I was nutz to think the tube shooting was pure incompetence (it was later proven as such) or Jessica Lynch false medal..(later proven im right again..) or WMD in Iraq.. (proven right..) or the sink whole that Iraq has been thruout history alexander, mongols, romans, now usa (i was right again..  check your current events..)  time and time again you question what i have to say, time and time again i'm right and the peanut gallery is wrong.. the only thing you might cry foul was my disagreement with Lazs about some mechanics of m16a2 rifle which to this day i still stand by.. (how many rounds you fire thru a military a1 a2 Lazs? I rest my case..)

I'll bet some money and give 15-1 odds im right again on this one..  

"there will be a nasty row over this once the smoke clears.." that is my statement..  not Bush's magical weather machine conspriacy.. shoulda coulda woulda on global warming etc..  what was described above was clearly preventable if you take the time to research.. google SELA and start reading..  not heresay or yapping..

Now place your bets..  my money is on me as always..

any takers.. (i remember when this war started I said re-up fellas.. to date only gunslinger has ponied up..  and he is a REMF.. so pony up Im still waiting.. vocal  minority.. same chest thumpers still got no re-up papers but still yapping for conflict... )

thought not.. (but youll insert your yappy comeback..3-1 odds) (Cheeky chav* bastages...   :p  )

Are you talking about a Kennedy in a position of responsibility or just someone with that last name?

JFK Jr.  The one that's the staunch environmentalist.  It doesn't matter if they are in a position of responsibility, the papers will print it, people will read it.  The idiots out there will think it true.

But seriously, to blame somone for a hurricane during hurricane season.....:rolleyes:

Yo.  Might respond to that last one.
first I gotta  decypher exactly what it is you were saying.

Short responce to near as I can figure out what you were trying to say is.

You didnt have to mention Bush by name. It was obvious that is what you were implying.
And even if it werent. We all know thatts the way its going to head.

And if Gore or Kerry were pres. it would be the other way around.

You dont really think anyone in congress is going to accept any part of the blame do you?

That is ridiculous. I'm really surprised that anyone would have the gall to say that.

Well, you have a reputation, and the response you got was based on that.

The current admin better have another faux.news Aruba because once the majors pick up on this there is going to be some political fallout


I am very suprised that you weren't talking about Bush in that quote, but if you say so.....

If you actually took the time to do some research you'll see im right..

I just researched your post....

Quote
When flooding from a massive rainstorm in May 1995 killed six people, Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, or SELA.

Over the next 10 years, the Army Corps of Engineers, tasked with carrying out SELA, spent $430 million on shoring up levees and building pumping stations, with $50 million in local aid.


Sounds like they have been hard at work for over 10 years, spending just under half a BILLION dollars on the project. The assumption that the federal government is responsible for damage from an earthquake is just as preposterous

I'll bet some money and give 15-1 odds im right again on this one..  

"there will be a nasty row over this once the smoke clears.." that is my statement..


There might be, but it will be started by the same people that are blaming the formation of a hurricane on a political party. I'll bet ya a dollar. What's the timeframe?

Apparently the Americans had it coming: "The American president has closed his eyes to the economic and human damage that natural catastrophes such as Katrina -- in other words, disasters caused by a lack of climate protection measures -- can visit on his country." Who wrote this? None other than Jürgen Trittin, Germany's minister of the environment.

So....when you start your statement with " The current admin...." that doesnt refer to Bush?  

Quick question...just who is the "current admin" in the world that you live in?

Hurricanes have been occurring for a lot longer than the phrase "global warming" has been around.  Sorry to burst the bubble of all the chicken littles out there, but America signing some environmental treaty aint gonna stop them from occurring.

You left out the other part of the quote:

But at least $250 million in crucial projects remained, even as hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin increased dramatically and the levees surrounding New Orleans continued to subside.

Actually it is Robert Kennedy Jr. that is making the claim.
