Bush on GMA

Here's the interview today with Diane.

"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."

Video-WMP

As usual.

because as we all know, bush is NEVER responsible for ANYTHING bad, but is the champion of EVERYTHING good. Come to think of it, what GOOD have they been at all? :shrug: I can't think of a single thing this maladministration has done right! :grr:

While people are dying, Chimperor Nero is mostly concerned with saving his own stupid ass, as usual. Just like on 9/11 when he couldn't scurry off fast enough in Air Force One. Well, at least once he was done reading My Pet Goat. He only peeked his precious little head out once he was sure it was all safe.

The man isn't just merely incompetent, he's a goddamn coward, and a heartless bastard.

"Who'd a thunk they'd fly planes into buildings?"

They're all useless morons.

And if pre-warned, she said something like, "the file said something like Bin Laden will attack US with planes," paraphrasing.

Will never get over that and the "mushroom cloud!"

if Katrina hit NOLA. Word is starting to get out about Bush cutting the Army Corps of Engineers budget for NOLA.

they have their heads up their collective ASS!

They're too busy confering how their going to FUCK AMERICA NEXT to be concerned about a Hurricane 4 OR 5 that's about to HIT NEW ORLEANS!

anything ahead of time in his life. What kind of idiot do we have supposedly running this country?? There should have been everything needed in place at all times for ANY kind of disaster in this country whether it be natural or "terra"!! What happened to homeland security???

:grr:

That's the 64-thousand dollar question.

Glad you're here!

Visualize IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!!!!
And then go DO something about it!!!!!!!!!!

He anticipated his need to avoid the draft.

that said a direct hit would kill 40,000 to 60,000 people in New Orleans and the city would be ruined.

I saw a TV special on it. It seems like Frontline. Does anyone remember it?

Please. They will be claiming mental incompetence at their trials. We cannot allow that!

She was ever so respectful. She should have challenged the Coward's "we could not have anticipated" comment.

Toward the end of the interview she actually brought up the fact that levee failure had been anticipated by others.

Of all the network news people, Sawyer pisses me off the most.

sychophant EXCEPT when it comes to THE DIXIE CHICKS!

And in some ways it's surprising cause I would think her more intelligent husband, Mike Nichols, would be sickened by the whole feeble performance.

That's disturbing. I have... err HAD a lot of admiration for him.

so?

demand it.

He will be held accountable.

"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." - well except for CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, (yep Fox too), NOAA, the Louisiana Governor, the New Orleans Mayor, National Geographic, LSU, The Weather Channel, Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans Fire, Mrs. Peterson's kindrgarten class at Fletcher Elementary in Omaha....basically anyone with a brain (which excludes Dear Leader). Hmmmffffff - I'M SOOOOOOOO FURIOUS!

And in Bush's sick, Oedipal, substance-abusing world, his way of proving that his penis was much, MUCH larger than his daddy's was to CAPTURE Saddam.

PLUS, he got Saddam's gun, and he can sit in the Oval Office and play with it whenever he wants.

So EVERYBODY wins...

...NOT.

:grr:

gma..recorded in history forever more..bush doing DUMB!

Welcome to DU, SwedeinLA!

Yeah. NOBODY could have IMAGINED... (and did he bat his eyelashes like his "wife" Contradicta did as he said this?)

Glad you're here! Get to work...

...visualizing IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!
...And then, go DO something about it!!!!

I listened to it earlier today and missed it. Or maybe I only got an edited version?

10!!!!! Now kick his ass!!! I know this isn't the place to plug it but check out earth.google.com for a close up look at the damage from Katrina..it's unreal!! On the one side I'm thinking it isn't here but on the other side it is..I'm still in shock of it all. If I were Bush I might be in shock but i'd at least stop what I was doing and do the best that I could to my ability..but that's speaking of very little from Pres Chimp

no empathy or compassion. bush would rather be in San Diego playing air guitar setting up photo ops.

We all gotta sacrifice, heh-heh-heh-heh-heh...

BTW - WELCOME TO DU!
Good that you're here.
Visualize IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then go DO something about it!!!!!!!!!!!

If EVER the time and the circumstances and the tipping of the scale - are all with us, that time is NOW. I think Katrina might - just might - be the beginning of the end of Hurricane george.

exactly what has happened to New Orleans. I believe the article actually predates last November, but was only then posted to this website. . .

Disasters Waiting to Happen . . . Sixth in a Series

What if Hurricane Ivan Had Not Missed New Orleans?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author’s Note: This column was originally intended to be the final disaster in the “Disasters Waiting to Happen” series. As I was developing the hypothetical situation depicting a devastating hurricane striking New Orleans, Louisiana, the disaster waiting to happen threatened to become a reality: Hurricane Ivan, a category 4 hurricane (with 140 mph winds) fluctuating to a category 5 (up to 155 mph winds), was slowly moving directly toward New Orleans. Forecasters were predicting a one-in-four chance that Ivan would remain on this direct path and would be an “extreme storm” at landfall. In reality, the storm veered to the north and made landfall east of Mobile Bay, Alabama, causing devastation and destruction well into the central Gulf shoreline and throughout the Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic states.

What if Ivan Had Hit New Orleans?

New Orleans was spared, this time, but had it not been, Hurricane Ivan would have:

* Pushed a 17-foot storm surge into Lake Pontchartrain;

* Caused the levees between the lake and the city to overtop and fill the city “bowl” with water from lake levee to river levee, in some places as deep as 20 feet;

* Flooded the north shore suburbs of Lake Pontchartrain with waters pushing as much as seven miles inland; and

* Inundated inhabited areas south of the Mississippi River.

Up to 80 percent of the structures in these flooded areas would have been severely damaged from wind and water. The potential for such extensive flooding and the resulting damage is the result of a levee system that is unable to keep up with the increasing flood threats from a rapidly eroding coastline and thus unable to protect the ever-subsiding landscape.


(more. . . much more)

Well then Bush your going to be a busy MF. The price here has gone up FIFTY FUCKING CENTS in three days. You don't call that gouging??

Jesus...how I HATE that FUCKER!!

Of course you anticipate it - by creating a plan.

Standard procedure for disaster preparedness is to plan for the worst and hope for the best. That's why you build things like levees.

I guess he didn't get the memo.

can someone who's suffering consisted of running out of beer and having to order his nanny to go get him some more know about suffering? Silver spoon president, that's why he doesn't have any sort of compassion or understanding, clinton did, he grew up poor, bush will never be able to relate to us common folk...as he likes to call us...pulpers to king george.

SPLOID EXCLUSIVE: FEMA is directing Katrina donations to none other than the Rev. Pat Robertson …
Millions of Americans and people around the world have rushed to donate money to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, which is shaping up to be one of the worst U.S. disasters in history, if not the worst.
FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is the lead federal agency in the rescue & recovery operation at work in New Orleans and the Mississippi gulf coast.
FEMA has released to the media and on its Web site a list of suggested charities to help the storm’s hundreds of thousands of victims. The Red Cross is first on the list.
The Rev. Pat Robertson’s “Operation Blessing” is next on the list.
“It’s an outrage,” said privacy watchdog Bill Scannell, who alerted Sploid to the FEMA / Robertson scam. “Operation f**cking Blessing? And it’s right underneath the Red Cross link!”
Scannell, currently campaigning against the Transportation Security Administration’s refusal to turn over personal information illegally collected from 100 million U.S. air passengers, noted that Operation Blessing’s board of directors is dominated by the televanglist and his family.
The chairman, “MG Robertson,” is none other than the Rev. Pat — Marion Gordon Robertson is his real name — while Pat’s wife DeDe is vice president and son Gordon Robertson is also on the board.
The front operation for the radical, pro-assassination televangelist and Republican power broker is also based in the Rev. Pat’s headquarters, Virginia Beach.
Robertson’s shell organizations have already collected more than $25 million from the federal government under various “faith based” federal-handout programs. And with millions of distraught citizens looking to FEMA for help in finding reputable organizations to help Katrina survivors, Robertson stands to profit magnificently from the horror that has fallen on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

a time of emergency will be a joke.

Thanks for the info! :hug:

:kick:

should be responsible to pump put more oil to drive the cost down.

"It was suggested to me by someone that it seems like the lack of assistance in New Orleans was meant to provoke people to extreme violence and chaos. It certainly looks that way to me... but what if new orleans is being used as a test case to see, in a real world setting, how easily a motivated, angry populace (and the military personnel forced to do the dirty work) could be subdued and controlled to create a working model of how to impose endless Martial Law throughout the country while keeping those who might resist under the lid... and those in the armed forces in line. It's a thought... because I find it absolutely incredible how inept the response has been... to the point of criminality on the part of the federal government." --c., CLG reader.

the horror continue to unfold.

ROme is burning and our leader is smirking.

goes my disgust with this dog turd

or we will see many more thousands die.

An Idiot in Rich Mans Clothes....

Striped of Reality, the Bush mumbles his way through the interviewq.

The Mind of a CHILD.....just incredible a dufus of the worst order is there,,,at such a Level...Shameful. We Americans should be ASHAMED.

We Must work harder to rid ourselves of poor leadership.

FEMA director says donate through Pat Robertson, now some1 please explain this one to me?

http://www.sploid.com/news/2005/09/01/fema-directing-donations-to-rev-pat-robertson-123509.php


I knew he was connected to the good old boy club but jeez don't rub my face in it.

Peace from a Blue State !!

who didn't choose to leave couldn't have anticipated this, either..so the fema director can stop with his talking points about how "the victims bear some responsibility".

I didn't see program and can't do video on home computer - am I understanding correctly? Bush said that on television? Or does OP mean it was cut from show? Are we talking about Bush?

I don't know why the thought notion amazes me...I guess shock overload ... it's just so unbelievable...what Universe are we in that this is the President...?
