Impeach Bush Now, Before More Die

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS


Prior to 911, the Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen. Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project (SELA) in order to protect the strategic port, the refineries, and the large population.

However, after 2003 the flow of funds to SELA were diverted to the war in Iraq. During 2004 and 2005 the New Orleans Times-Picayune published nine articles citing New Orleans' loss of hurricane protection to the war in Iraq.

Every expert and newspapers as distant as Texas saw the New Orleans catastrophe coming. But President Bush and his insane government preferred war in Iraq to protecting Americans at home.

Bush's war left the Corps of Engineers only 20% of the funding to protect New Orleans from flooding from Lake Pontchartrain. On June 18, 2004, the Corps' project manager, Al Naomi, told the Times-Picayune: "the levees are sinking. If we don't get the money to raise them, we can't stay ahead of the settlement."

Paul Craig Roberts makes the angriest DUer look restrained. He pounds Bush every chance he gets. And he's a conservative Republican. Remember, we can disagree with real conservatives and still all support the basic goals and values of the country. It's the Neocon Cult we cannot trust and Roberts has been saying this from day 1 of Bush. He rocks and rocks hard. I would really hate to have this guy on my case. He's relentless and has absolutely no humor (I read him regularly).

"Paul Craig Roberts makes the angriest DUer look restrained. He pounds Bush every chance he gets."

Yes indeed & I admire him for it.

Thanks for the Rec
