25. Rove. They probably just gave this guy the rank of Lt. Gen.
to sprout his rhetoric to cover junior's ass and his inept appointments.

2. We couldn't get water to the people, because....
The levy broke.

Yep.

Sure, general.

Whatcha getting for covering your master's asses?

5. Yep, they all are, they are doing what they have been doing since
the beginning, patting themselves on the back while doing squat in actuality.

12. Now that it fits the program.
If he worked for a reputable leader - he would have been "on the ground" IMMEDIATELY AFTER the levies broke.

There is no excuse - but they are desperate to spin one.

for what should have been done.

10. He is one of the smartest moves so far though
He is kicking ass and taking names. If he had been there Tuesday, the cops wouldn't have been shooting looters.

13. well .....he's a military man....
and it's his job to toe the party line. Privately he might be thinking the exact opposite but in a press conference in front of his bosses, he needs to say what they want him to say.


Or he could get court-martialed and drummed out for i dunno - dating a woman AFTER separating from his wife?

that means no retirement package, and a dishonoroable discharge.

Wat he should do once all is said and done, is resign, grab his bennies package and then tear the whole thing wide open, a la hackworth.


if he's worth any of that Cajun in him, he'll do the right thing.

20. Mayor Nagin gave him kudos
in the middle of Nagin's righteous rant, he conceded that Bush did one thing right by sending Honore. That was a few days ago, things might have changed, but still...

23. I remember that. Maybe Nagin is rethinking his position OR
The colonel, general..whatever the hell he is, is covering HIS ass now because he does, afterall, have to report to the likes of RUMSFELD and such... Poor slob--it's a no win for him.

22. What irritated me is his attempt to tell us what happened....
...we already KNOW that!

Quit exhaling hot air, and tell us how you're going to attack the problems and get the rest of the survivors out of New Orleans!!

And then that Chertoff states that they're very busy trying to solve the problems when it's readily apparent that they're ALL attempting to spin the truth to their advantage.

26. The way they get to be generals is by being
good, ass-kissing Republicans. But I would still choose Honore over that sob Rudy Giuliani.

27. Funds to pay bounty hunters.
I just watched Chertoff lying from the airport in New Orleans, I could tell because his lips were moving. Rumsfield, Meyer, etc. also lied. They are murderers and should be tried in The Hague. Won't happen, of course. No way to vote them out. Demonstrations will not stop the thieves and murderers in Washington, and like has been discussed here, it is just going to get far worse as they continue to garner more power.

Maybe we the people, (of the entire world), should collect money and set up funds to pay bounty hunters to citizen-arrest these criminals anywhere they show up, and smuggle them to The Hague for trial. Arrest them on sight anywhere in the world.

We the people have no chance to remove the US administration by our rigged elections, they have the money and the fire-power. All the armies in the world together can't equal their guns. They rule the world, it is now simply impossible to remove them by usual means.

We could set up an international fund for each criminal that would pay on their handcuffed delivery in the Hague, for the rest of each criminals life. Each fund should be separate so that anyone can contribute to his criminal of choice. The worst will have the largest amounts on their heads. If a criminal dies before his fund pays out, (as Pol Pot's would have), then that fund would be proportioned into the other funds. What a democratic and fair method of law enforcement and justice.

I suggest that if they were not certain beyond any doubt that they have a method to hold power indefinitely, they would never have passed laws such as the criminally named Patriot Act, and obviously planning to remove the filibuster, and thus any opposition counter balance.

Some here have argued that Americans have traditions that will keep our democracy alive. The citizens would never allow the executive to flaunt and ignore our laws. That troops would never fire on citizens. All rat dreams. The traditions that are necessary are those followed by those in power, not the citizens. The citizens are out-gunned. Kent State proved that the Guard will fire on our students, and those of us listening to the scanners in the last 48 hours, have heard the victims in New Orleans inadvertently referred to as "insurgents!" And for the tradition as a free people; the people of Bavaria had a tradition as free men dating back before their days fighting Caesar, but their democracy installed Hitler, and supported him until they could not remove him. Remember, the NAZIs only held power for about 13 years, and * has been in power for five now. Another five and we well may be gassing gays, blacks and Muslims.

Rove and company have shown that they are not constrained by fairness, tradition, or morality.

32. Hee Haw! Spinning like a spinning top!! Did you see them hand him the
infant, given to him for an obvious photo op, and then he quickly handed it right off to a Guardsman like it had a dirty diaper or something. I almost choked on my sandwich! Fasted hand-off I've seen since Rodger Staubach.
