AS AMERICA TURNS
Well here we are 11 days after Katrina. The Terrorist sitting in there little caves have got to be loving this! This has got to be better then any soap opera they could possibly watch. Watching the Democrats attack the Republicans the Republicans attacking the Democrats. The Administration lying to the American people trying to cover there ass. President Bush being in complete denial over the incompetence of FEMA and his Administration.
Now I will say that some of the Democrats and Republicans I think are truly concerned over what happened. But the bickering and fighting continue on as more people are in need of help some which are dying. Unfortunately this is not a soap opera this is real life. These idiots on Capital Hill better start figuring it out. I mean from both sides. People have died and are dying because of incompetence and we as Americans better do something about it or are future of America could be very bleak.
As the world watches America self destruct I wonder what our for-fathers must think. I wonder what all the brave men and women who have died for this country must think. More importantly I wonder what our children are thinking. What I do know is no matter how you spin it this all happened on George W’s. Watch. President Truman who said “The Buck Stops Here” New he was Commander and Chief. Somebody forgot to tell Bush that. When it is all said and done Bush’s epitaph will be “Never admit your mistakes or take responsibility for anything”.
I want to leave you with a quote from the Daily Dish.
QUOTE FOR THE DAY: "The war in Iraq has been poorly planned and executed from the beginning, and now, like a hurricane over warm water, the insurgency is in a position to take immense energy from the fundamental divisions in that nation. The rise of Chinese military power, although lately noted, has met with no response. America's borders are open, its cities vulnerable, and its civil defense nonexistent, its armies stretched thin. We have taken only deeply inadequate steps to prepare for and forestall a viral pandemic that by the testimony of experts is a high probability and could kill scores of millions in this country alone. That we do not see relatively simple and necessary courses of action, and are not led and inspired to them, represents a catastrophic failure of leadership that bridges party lines.Perhaps this and previous administrations have had an effective policy just too difficult to comprehend because they have ingeniously sheltered it under the pretense of their incompetence. But failing that, the legacy of this generation's presidents will be promiscuous declarations and alliances, badly defined war aims, opportunities inexplicably forgone, ill-supported troops sent into the field, a country at risk without adequate civil protections, and a military shaped to fight neither the last war nor this one nor the next." - Mark Helprin, today. A very astute piece, I'd say. It amounts to an indictment of Clinton's negligence, Bush's incompetence, and Rumsfeld's misjudgment. We need better.
God Bless America
