4. Done and kick. I'm almost beginning to think Bushco is allowing
really bad to happen just so Halliburton can come in and make more money for Unka Dick.

6. Sadly, I thought this when I heard that the first levee broke...add that
glimmer of doubt to the DAYS of waiting and starving those people, and you know what I think about it now. I had never fully bought into any of the MIHOP/LIHOP stuff, but this is too much. These people are inhuman.

9. Um, guys? They're only rebuilding three Naval bases in the Gulf.
Not New Orleans. Repeat, not New Orleans. Only three Naval bases.

Just working to keep the facts straight here.

Navy Turns to Halliburton for Help on Damaged Bases
By JOHN H. CUSHMAN Jr.
Published: September 4, 2005
<snip>
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 - Facing extensive damage by Hurricane Katrina to naval installations in Mississippi, the Navy turned immediately to the Halliburton Company's KBR subsidiary for tasks like restoring electricity, repairing roofs and clearing debris at bases that are urgently needed for response efforts.
<snip>
The company said on Friday that it had 3,000 employees working in the affected region and that "many have suffered devastating losses with many homes and vehicles flooded and some with a total loss of all of their belongings." The company, headed by Dick Cheney before he became vice president, has close ties to the Bush administration, and earlier this year confirmed that it had hired Joseph M. Allbaugh as a consultant on issues including disaster relief and homeland security. Mr. Allbaugh was the director of FEMA during the first two years of the Bush administration.

Halliburton hired for storm cleanup

The Navy has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris at three naval facilities in Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Halliburton subsidiary KBR will also perform damage assessments at other naval installations in New Orleans as soon as it is safe to do so.KBR was assigned the work under a "construction capabilities" contract awarded in 2004 after a competitive bidding process. The company is not involved in the Army Corps of Engineers' effort to repair New Orleans' levees.

15. Since the day of his birth! (More realistically, since his first day in
office after Selection 2000) I can't think of any president who has done more harm to the U.S. Correct me if I'm wrong!

19. Strange, this is not being readily responded to...is it b/c it's Kos?
I've posted polls from CNN, MSNBC, an AOL, and they've had tremendous response...Curious!
