Where is the Fresh WATER YOU BASTARD? You are NOT HUMAN.
Bush you son of a bitch, you black hating, gay bashing, poor-killing/torturing, gas gouging, dickless capitalist bastard!

HOW DARE YOU KILL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS?!! How DARE you turn Human Beings into ANIMALS?!! How DARE you even show your face on Television - get the FUCK OFF the Airwaves and let REAL MEN do their JOBS, REAL HEROES who understand the meaning of HUMANITY.

How DARE you make excuses and half heartedly stand in a ROSE GARDEN making "manly, macho" tough guy faces spewing platitudes and cliches, while REAL Humans, BABIES, OLD, SICK PEOPLE DIE like FLIES without even delivering WATER to them?

Quit pretending like you are a MAN and even remotely competent, Quit SPINNING and LYING and taking NO Responsibility for YOUR Actions and NON ACTIONS.

You and your cohort Republican subHumans are the most retarded, evil cheap pieces of shit excuses for Homo Selectus that ever existed!

Any person with half a brain knows that our very civilization is held together by the rule of 12 meals. Civilization is 12 Meals THICK.

You DO know that, and THIS is intentional, and YOU are the culprit since YOU claim to be in CHARGE. You are MURDERING these people. ALL OF THEM.

I PRAY that Some day you will stand before GOD, a ruthless god as you've chosen and HE will let you feel ALL THE PAIN, Suffering, starvation, thirst that you have caused to hundreds of thousands of people that YOU personally are responsible for MURDERING.

Let's see how HO-HUM you act as you stand naked before the All Powerful God, when all that SUFFERING you've caused comes rushing into your eyes, rakes your skin, swells your brain and tongue, when you bleed at every pore, shitting yourself as you realise that you're being handed over to the Devil, who will laugh in your face and guarantee you FEEL ALL the suffering you've caused with NO REDEMPTION, Ceaseless and for all eternity..

You will NOT be forgiven for this and the whole world will turn their backs on you in your lifetime, you will be considered a persona non grata and banished from the Human Race.

God has turned his face from you, so riddled with sin that you are an abomination, not worthy of sharing the Universe with so much as a snake or a cockroach who are far and away above YOU SPIRITUALLY.

Don't you DARE come to New Orleans and stand on the backs of the Dead and shout your heroism to the stars, you are not invited and should be arrested on SIGHT and forced to bury all the dead for the rest of your days, naked, with a spoon for a shovel.

YOu don't even have enough of a functional reasoning capacity or simple capability as the alleged most powerful man on EARTH - to MAKE SURE that these poor bastards get WATER - the STAFF OF LIFE, LIFE, something so foreign to you.

Your ego keeps you from accepting HELP from other countries, who aren't interested in helping YOU, THEY are coming to help HUMAN BEINGS!

Jesus himself said, "However you treat the lowest among you is how you treat me." YOU have starved, beaten, tortured, and insulted JESUS HIMSELF with your inability to ADMIT that YOU ARE INCOMPETENT, that YOU have surrounded yourself with EVIL impersonations of MEN and bent to their WILL, not that of God or even of your OWN WILL, as you HAVE NO WILL, you are nothing, a nobody, less than a tick.

You have nothing but a punctured, stale, sick, putrid, rotten little black heart for an ego and we hope that the poor and the ghosts of the dead follow you around for the rest of your life screaming their pain and anguish so loud that you can't even hear yourself think, that every nerve you have is raw.

That the pain from their pure hearts passes over you in WAVES, like the waters in New Orleans - strangles your will to live, to eat, to make love, to hold someone dearly, until your will is broken beyond all repair and you lay yourself down and beg for God to forgive you until your lips crack, and your throat gurgles - only to hear your begging echo in the darkness as God moves away from you, leaving you to the Evil One who you have served so well all of your life.

You are CURSED. You are Banished from the Land of Man. Leave our White House and give yourself up, turn yourself in to the Hague and be tried for your crimes against all humanity.

Never let your shadow darken the doorways of a single decent human being again. Rot in the dark and pray for your soul and the souls of the poor suckers robbed of their very future by YOU or the Devil will shove hot coals up your ass til the end of time.

If you aren't cursed yet, then you will be, you allowed a city that believes in Voo Doo to DIE Horribly, the same people that make Zombies of common men are now spirits intent on owning your spirit and your soul. But then again, you are already a Zombie, and apparently have no SOUL.

DEMAND that the makers of bottled water deliver more fresh water than is washing through the leevees to the nearest Air Force Bases - FLY over New Orleans and DROP endless bottles on that city, BOMB them with FOOD, MREs, Fresh clothing sealed in waterproof bags.

Send C5A Galaxies filled with troops to that beseiged city, make runways with local bulldozers and flood the city with troops carrying weapons, water, food and baby formula.

THEN ADMIT YOUR FAULT and RESIGN, Take Cheney and the rest of the cheap thugs you call friends with you and let someone like Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter lead our country back from the disgrace you've inudated us with for years since you stole our country.

Make HISTORY and LEAVE. QUIT. STOP pretending to be President. You'll never be, and never were.

This is OUR COUNTRY. THese are OUR Brothers and Sisters. You are no longer welcome to the private, priviledged club called the Brotherhood of Man.

Those that have left the earthly bonds know what you have coming to you - psychic, karmic pain of such proportions that you will realise that you are surrounded by energy, not coal nor gas nor nukular, but the same energy that causes the wind to caress a cheek, or a seed to grow, can bring a man to his knees and make him beg himself to let himself LIVE - energy that is spiritual and not sold by the gallon, but EARNED by grace.

Do something NOW. Go. Leave. Shut up. Go to hell. We don't want you anymore. At ALL.

5. The Governor of Miss. got furious when CNN grilled him this am.
The reporter was asking why there was still no national guard, red cross, etc. in Biloxi and he said, "Yes there are! We are responding as needed!" He got mad and refused to answer anymore questions.

He wants the media to accept his positive spin without any question. But the media's pictures speak louder than words.

Asshole!

this is the LAST STRAW..

This miserable mass murderer needs to GO NOW. LEAVE OUR COUNTRY Bush, it's NOT YOURS.

I've never seen someone so UNAmerican in all my 53 years. I FOUGHT for AMERICA in the USAF, not Bush's DEMENTIA and lack of a SOUL.

If I had the money I'd go there myself and deliver WATER at the least.. having been in the military I know full well what they can do..

It was THAT SPEECH. Not Clueless, he didn't want to be BOTHERED.

He didn't want to be BOTHERED. That I think is the most repulsive thing about this sub-human. It *IS* as though he doesn't want to be bothered with the petty little problems of anyone.

14. What he said!!!! 100 Times!
I simple cannot believe that they are not littering the fucking city with fresh water and food by chopper/plane! On the day the hurricane struck and we saw how bad it was, an offical on CNN said that was one of the first things that needed to happen -- bomb thh city with supplies to tide folks over until they could be rescued.

I am almost out of my mind with the horrow of what I am seeing in NO, and the knowledge that so much more should have -- CAN BE - done for NO. :cry:

After he has lived a long life as something lower than a parasite in the gut of a beer worm, bury George W. Bush under a public urinal in the French Quarter to be pissed upon for all eternity.

33. During the Indonesian tsunami relief, a US nuclear-powerd aircraft
carrier, the USS Lincoln, went to the scene and provided enormous quantities of fresh pure water. It has amazing facilities for this - the water is necessary for ships with nuclear reactors. Don't have time right now, but I posted on this at the time and will go back and get the information. Ssearch-and-rescue mission helicopters were also quartered on the ship.

Aircraft carriers like this need to be working around the south coast to provide fresh clean water. I'll get the info later and post it in a new thread - will link to it here.

Thank you for putting into words what so many of us feel right now. I was just watching MSNBC where that photojournalist was talking about all the suffering that was going on and how nobody is helping these poor people. I just can't believe they are leaving them all there to fend for themselves. I feel so helpless and angry and sad.

nothing better to pull his ratings out of the dumpster and get that "woman" off TV than having a disaster occur. They couldn't stop a hurricane but they could certainly have prepared a response to deal with the aftereffects.

55. Are you paying attention at all???
Bush does and has had control. He had control when all that fucking money that COULD have gone to shore up the levee was diverted to Iraq, he had control when he DIDN'T mobilize what's left of the NG in this country the day BEFORE this happened. He has control now and has had for the past few days over making sure these people get what they need and he has dropped the ball in a horrifying and amazingly incompetent way. Irrational? BULLSHIT. Symbolman has just had enough of seeing this fuck strut around and spout platitudes in between fundraisers and golf games and so have I.

Until I know these answers? I'd bother to give you links that have been posted all over DU on this very specific subject over the past four days, but somehow I don't think you'll be around long enough for me to waste my time.

And btw, I do understand what it takes to mobilize NG units and that is EXACTLY why it should have been done earlier. Enjoy your stay.

65. Listen pal
I was drafted in 1971, I'm 53 years old and have seen the Watts Riot and plenty of other disasters as well as having been in scramble squad situations, flying in both KC 135's, Hughs 500Ds, and C5A Galaxies so I know a little about getting people in and out of situations, like in Vietnam.

THEY KNEW that these Leevees were not going to hold, they'd been build to withstand Catagory THREE hurricanes. Bush and pals diverted money to Iraq and the Army Corps of Engineers were left so low on cash (having lost 80% of their funding for this) that they didn't even have enough funding to START working.. nada, zilch..

I suppose you believe that spending 300 Billion in Iraq while exporting the very Troops that WOULD have saved thousands of lives here was a good idea.. one that was based on lies, rather than the FACTS that the Leevees were going to get hit and that storms have been getting more furious and coming more often.

I love the "prove a negative" technique, it's employed by people for the most part that either have no arguement or refuse to face reality.

Why not go enlist so that you can go to Iraq and defend our right to let americans die in droves because of an incompetent boob who even the right wingers voted in because he was surrounded by "smart" people, so it didn't matter if he personally was DUMB or a COWARD.

YOu think I'm some kind of little girlie shit spouting off and getting all emotional, go have a look at Takebackthemedia.com and all my work, I've been on the O'Rielly show, Scarborough Twice (once for my ARMY OF ONE entry in the MoveOn Bush in 30 seconds contest, one of 14 entries out of 1600) and been fighting these monsters AND the media for a good 4 years on donations and my dwindling mortgage..

Nope, I'm a Veteran Liberal who doesn't take shit from people that make no sense, bullshit people, kill our troops for lies, or have nothing better than spout self serving crap.

Thanks Belladonna, I think you may be psychic as well :)

66. Listen pal yourself,
I was in the Marine Corps for 8 years during the eighties. While I am not quite as old as you, I am too old to "Why not go enlist so that you can go to Iraq... blah blah blah." I don't support Bush's Iraq war but I don't give a damn whether you think I sufficiently hate him or not. I refuse to let emotion conflate political issues and this tragedy.

The KNEW the levees were going to break? I recall the night of the storm all reports were NO had been saved due to the storm shifting and weakening. There was minimal damage and most reports out of NO were fairly rosey. People were partying in the French quarter.

79. Follow the money
Sure there is emotion... more could have been done to prevent this kind of disaster, and even more could have been done following the hurricane to care for the victims.

Here's a great link with inescapable facts that further support what Sym is saying:

There is no excuse for the way this adminstration behaves. They're killing us and barely even feign to care.

94. you weren't paying attention, and you certainly weren't on DU
because there was plenty of information available about the weakness of the levees.I told my husband on Sunday night as we went to bed--> safe in the valley of N. CA- safe from major earthquakes, safe from hurricanes, and safe from tornados, safe from flooding even (we don't get rain in the summer, at all)<-- I told him... "It's going to be really bad, really bad. I don't want to turn on the TV tomorrow."

I am not a fucking engineer and I saw this shit coming.

60. After the tsunami, our nuclear aircraft carriers provide IMMENSE amounts
of pure, fresh water from their onboard production facitilities. The numbers for capacity are enormous, astonishing - I tried to look for that post for the true numbeers but the DU search feature is currently turned off.

Immediately after the tsunami, these carriers were on-site saving lives with that water. Where are they now?

We need to airlift water and also bring in and set up water production/purification plants.

64. Well I just lost all respect for Clinton
Bush is NOT to blame for the Leevees breaking down? He's had FIVE days to get buses in there

BUsh Senior of course agreed that "finger pointing" would do no good, and hey, why should they have been ready to mobilize when the storm was headed RIGHT FOR NO, but then veered to the right?

HUH?

They are saving the lil monster and I won't give them a freaking DIME. What is all this shit about "private sectors" DONATING.. ALL of our taxes went to Iraq and RICH people- TAXES are supposed to pay for this, a FEDERAL disaster..

No talk of "CORPORATE SECTORS" Donating?

I'll make them a Deal - YOU take all those Billions you're spending on Iraq and use them HERE, and THEN if you want to run a war in Iraq THEN you can go to the PRIVATE SECTOR for DONATIONS..

How's that for a deal? Let the Freepers PAY for their war and we'll take OUR Tax dollars and save OUR PEOPLE.

I'm through with these politicians and their bullshit, from now on it's WAR, granted a War of Words - but I'm going to start blogging their asses back into hell where they belong..

The word is more powerful than the sword, and it slices Bullshit like a set of Ginsu knives..

I'm going to order some BLACK Mardi Gras Beads and wear them to show solidarity with my brothers and sisters in NO, might even offer them on our site and take a major portion of the donations to send to the Red Cross to help the PEOPLE.. gonna check with Skinner, we need something, a symbol, a sign to PROTEST and acknowledge the total murder of these poor people by a little shithead that doesn't care and didn't fund the Leevees in the FIRST Place..

Those trapped are now 72 hours without water. They are now dead. There should be two tallies of the dead, those from the hurricane itself, and those from sheer, criminal incompetance and negligence. Then there should be prosecutions.

80. Thanks all, I needed to vent, it was really getting to me
I just realised something.. anyone else remember that Bush came on TV the Night BEFORE the storm hit and Pre-Declared NO as a Federal Disaster? I remember it because that seemed odd, never seen it done before, maybe it is done that way, but I recall it anyway.

NOW he and his daddy (and unfortunately Clinton) are making all these excuses like "Well, it WAS headed for NO and then it veered away.. how were WE supposed to know?"

Which of course is no excuse at all, doesn't make any sense.

According to Bush's night before Federal Disaster announcement WHY WEREN'T THEY MOBILISING THEN?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the money is GONE. Our Treasury has been looted so badly that they really can't BUY things, they have to create pieces of paper that everyone signs (then the big Kahuna lil Dictator) and agree that it's really money, really it is.. I.O.U.

That's why Congress is showing up, they stamp the check, Bush signs it, claims all credit and then it's Dove Bars for everyone as Bush swings overhead in his air conditioned cruiser.

He's still a scumbag, but at least SOME people are getting water at minimum, some have been fed, the FEMA jerk is calling the Media Liars when the Media has been showing the truth (a rarity) all day.. FEMAGUY is saying that the troops and food, water, etc have been there for TWO DAYS.

and that is a Goddam LIE.

Get out your waders, it's going to get deep - not the water in NO I'm talking about, the BULLSHIT from Chimpy's pals..

Glad some bellies are filled tonight, hope people are sharing with the eldery and kids, seen some touching footage of people with nothing left to lose helping others with nothing left to lose, and that's what it's all about really..

We are on our own, We have been ever since Bush stole the Presidency. We'll take our Nation back.

There will be hell to pay for this. As real Americans shake off the lies and help save the victims of this disaster the rest of The Republican's house of greed and lies will be exposed.

You are not alone.

89. Maybe he really is not human
Now, there are several people who claim to have seen reptilians in real life. Arizona Wilder and the author of ‘Trance Formation in America” both claim to have seen world leaders such as George Bush and Dick Cheney transform into reptilian aliens. They also claim that these people are child molesters who like to hunt people for sport. One has to wonder how these books can be sold on Amazon.com and not cause the authors to be sued for libel. That doesn’t mean these claims are true, but it certainly makes one wonder.
