Where were the levees supposed to have been expanded to I ask the people that want to bash? Higher. They wanted to make them higher. The problem was that they were sinking. Also, the steel was old and rotting. God, why do I bother feeding trolls.

History, I suggest you read this article from GovExec Link Very telling.
still tend to believe my own memory when it comes to your age, dabe,(that you are in your 40s, not 50's, unless of course you lied about that in the first place, which is understandable. Many wrinkly old spinsters routinely knock 10 years off their age when asked)but if it's true, I'm sure you were one of the first in line to sp
And, this from the rightie site Newsmax Link Friday, Sept. 2, 2005 11:00 a.m. EDT Former CIA Director Tenet Threatens Disclosures? Former CIA director George Tenet, said to be the target of what the Washington Times called "a scathing report by Inspector General John Helgerson” - may go public with embarrassing disclosures about the Bush administration and
Gotcha! That was not Dabe's point. To what point are you referring to, guy, that you think that furry canary was referring to?
And, I respected that request.
Very excellent point, history. But, there were three breaches, last I heard. Possibly the barge merely facilitated the outcome. I dunno. Either way, the funding was denied, so there does have to be some element of accountability for that. Who knows. Had the storm hit with the 175 mph winds that it had approached the coast with, not much would matter anyway. Right now, there is a critical situation in New Orleans. You cannot beg, then bla
Great, I get blacklisted for whip's race baiting. Whatever.

Yeah, you were what, 8 or 9 years old when it was all over? ~rolls eyes~ do believe you've told us your age, I can't remember it EXACTLY but I DO remember that you and I a
Seeya round, Col. bye bye rightwinger. Adios amigo. Caio. sayanara. Shalom.
I am only calling the puppy what he is. An adolescent dog. A puppy. Besides, I still don't even believe you are a woman. Probably a self-loathing adolescent black male.
You miss my point. Whatever. New Orleans, by guy's standards is not on the coast. whatever...............
Even at a Cat 3, the levees were sinking, and the New Orleans officials were pleading for funds to fix them. they were denied, as the Corps diverted all money to the Iraq debaucle.
I'll give her credit, she somehow convinces gay people to love her even though she calls them sickos and somehow convinces others she's their loyal friend when she rips them up behind their backs (even in my limited off-JU correspondence with her). Ouch!!!! My thoughts, exactly, but I never had the gu
I already posted about this after dubya stated that no one could have know the levees could break. Lying sack of shit. Now, I'll sit back and wait for puppy and guy to come along to defend their hero.
is that price gouging if he decides to sell to me? I am willingly paying him for it, because of my needs. YES
I know that some on "my side" (the righties for the most part) might be quick to toss around insults and labels as well, and I think that reflects badly on those individuals also. So, why is it you so easily give them a pass, but hold me accountable every time I say something that you find off color?
I'm not condemning coastal cities. Quite the leap you're making. But, I'm not denying that they are coastal. Being on a river, ie Philadelphia being on the Delaware River is not coastal, though it is a port city. New Orleans is built on an estuarine environment, part of the coastal system that is what makes up the gulf coast. Why are you making such a big deal to defend something that is so pathetically indefensible? Oh, I know. I, me, d
Did you say "gulf coast"? Yeah, you did. Nuff said.
you so smart. I hate her for selling out any sense of decency for the post in which she knows nothing, other than star wars. She's as pathetic as the rest of them. And all of those who support them. As for dealing with international issues, that's just an apologist speaking. Since when do we compartmentalize a national disaster like that? We are all in this together. She is just one pathetic example of a bankrupt government unable to res
Amen, Philo! This constant need to create chaos at others' expense is sick. Very, very sick. And, this constant need to have people pat her on the back for her sick bull is even sicker. Totally psychotic. Worse even than her racism.
Dabe, you were doing great until the above part. Seems to be a favorite expression in these here parts these days, so I'll use it, too....... Me bad.
pathetic government apologists. Sheesh............
I just heard that Condi dear was busy buying thousands of dollars worth of shoes in NYC yesterday, instead of assisting in the relief efforts. In fact, the heads of FEMA and Homeland Security, those loverly dubya appointees, have absolutely no experience in disaster relief. this government, including condi dear, is out to lunch, buying shoes, vacationing, dictating to dictators, etc. They are needed now in this country, and they are out to lunch. <
