<p>The C Student from Andover & Yale let Black & poor whites twist in the wind for five freakin days. He’s a class concious Racist that cares nothing about poor blacks or whites. The media is also Racist in how they portrayed black people during this crisis. If you were knee deep in feces, urine & water and their was no help from the incompetent Government led by the C Student, would’nt you break down the doors and grab clothes, food, shoes, batteries, underwear or whatever was available to survive after being abondoned by your Racist Government? The idiots who stole TV’s were criminals before the Hurricane. Why does the media portray whites sympathetically as getting food & clothing for the families and blacks are portrayed as looting animals?</p>

<p>HOW NEW ORLEANS WAS LOST </p>

<p>By Paul Craig Roberts
Sept. 1, 2005 </p>

<p>(A former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal and a former assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury in the Reagan administration. </p>

<p>Chalk up the city of New Orleans as a cost of Bush’s Iraq war.
There were not enough helicopters to repair the breached levees and rescue people trapped by rising water. Nor are there enough Louisiana National Guardsmen available to help with rescue efforts and to patrol against looting.
The situation is the same in Mississippi.
The National Guard and helicopters are off on a fool’s mission in Iraq.
The National Guard is in Iraq because fanatical neoconservatives in the Bush administration were determined to invade the Middle East and because incompetent Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld refused to listen to the generals, who told him there were not enough regular troops available to do the job.
After the invasion, the arrogant Rumsfeld found out that the generals were right. The National Guard was called up to fill in the gaping gaps.
Distracted by its phony war on terrorism, the U.S. government had made no preparations in the event Hurricane Katrina brought catastrophe to New Orleans. No contingency plan existed. Only now after the disaster are FEMA and the Corps of Engineers trying to assemble the material and equipment to save New Orleans from the fate of Atlantis.
What we have is a Republican war for oil company profits while New Orleans sinks beneath the waters.</p>

<p>I agree completely with the article posted above. It’s very easy for white people sitting comfortably in their warm homes and tv stations to criticize blacks starving. These people would rather see food spoil and clothes be ruined inside of stores. I doubt that half of these stores will ever open again anyways. </p>

<p>I hate when I see police officers beating looters and making them drop the stuff they were carrying. Yeah it’s illegal, but I’d rather know that someone was eating than having the dirty water being contaminated with even more litter.</p>

64

<p>Stop complaining. do you really think they could have got their sooner, its really bad. When you watch tv, you watchy CNN you will here blacks complaining about how its a race issue. You watch MSNBC, you will see whites having gratitude that people are starting to come. One man said that hes been listing to the news on his radio, he said people need to stopp crying. Be happy that people are starting to come because, its really bad their and its hard to get to. They have to work out the logistics before they come in. because if they go over an unsafe bridge in New Orleans and it collapses. Dahm then that situation gets worse.</p>

<p>Now how can you deliver food and save people with Helipcopters at the same time. No matter if we had unlimited Helicopters, you can only fly so many at once, due to safety reasons. so should we get Minimal good to the mass suvivors who are going to live anyway, Its only been 4 days, any normal person could survive that without food and water. if you died then thats to bad. Now for the people who are stranded on roofs and in attics, or people who have been standing in water for 4 days, who are trapped and their skinn is ripping because its so soft from the water, dont forget the disease and dickness in the water. I would say these people deserve to be saved first.</p>

<p>Not the people who were able to walk to the convention center.</p>

<p>Hardstyleprep</p>

<p>Yeah that republic war for oil, is Needed to save America and Japan. Only idiots would disagree with the war. Id like to know what you would of liked to do, I find it Amazing how you Democrat hippie liberals, will say the war is so bad, but then offer no solution to the problem without war. maybe because their is none. I dont know how 2,985 American lives, are not worth fighting for. should we have just sat back and did nothing. You people are the ones who would get punched in the face and do nothing about it except cry. The planners of 9/11 were able to do so, due to this democratic mentality.</p>

<p>Im sick of Blacks complaining. Listen and watch Kanye west, all he does is complain about blacks. <a href=“http://www.pixelmd.com/kanye.html[/url]”>http://www.pixelmd.com/kanye.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Why doeant he Donate 2 million to his black people, or 2 million to the Live 8 cause, he didnt donate 1 cent, but then he complains.</p>

<p>Makes me sick.</p>

<p>Scotch,</p>

<p>You’re another emotionless communist neo-con supporter of the Rcist C Student from Yale. You neanderthal Republicans with your greed and cold empty hearts are pathetic. You belong with ****aleeza Rice in some Island with your heroe David Duke!</p>

66

<p>someone made a thread about what knaye said in the HS forum. heres what i had to say about it…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I do support Bush, I know he has mad mistakes, but so does everybody else. I think hes doing a good job and support him.</p>

<p>You talk, but the main point, were I called you out. was if you dont agree with the War. What should we do instead to stop saudi Arabia from Funding Al-queda, still keep good connectiosn with them for oil and to also ensure that japan has a steady flow of oil at considerable prices?</p>

<p>and these cold empty hearts, are what are keeping this economy and the free worlds economys going now.</p>

<p>Their is no easy way around it, we Have to be at war.</p>

<p>Coqui for once I agree with you,</p>

<p>I heard some of these looters were getting arrested and going to jail. Isn’t jail the safest place to be right now? They give you food and shelter. Maybe that’s a cynical way to look at the problem.</p>

70

<p>well it depends. if its a jail in new orleans, then no, because food is barely getting to those who need it and aren’t criminals. if its a jail out of state, then i guess, if you look at it that way. i still would rather be free right now in the superdome than in jail in some other state.</p>

<p>“You talk, but the main point, were I called you out. was if you dont agree with the War. What should we do instead to stop saudi Arabia from Funding Al-queda, still keep good connectiosn with them for oil and to also ensure that japan has a steady flow of oil at considerable prices?”</p>

<p>Scotch, none of your posts make any sense. Besides the terrible grammar, your arguments constantly contradict each other. Um, what are you talking about? Saudia Arabia is one of our best Arabian allies in the Middle East. We’re not going to war with them any time soon. Instead, we entered a war against a nation that had no 9/11 terrorists.</p>

<p>And you’re incredibly insensitive. “Its only been 4 days, any normal person could survive that without food and water”. Have you ever gone four days without water? Even if you have, it doesn’t matter. Every one is not in such great shape as you. Most of the people in New Orleans are poor; being destitute leads to health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Many haven’t taken their medicine in days.</p>

<p>If a massive hurricane hit Manhattan (they say it’s only a matter of time before a killer hurricane hits the Northeast) and submerged parts of the island, I guarantee help would have arrived faster.</p>

72

<p>Very well said emperor, I agree.</p>

<p>Scientists and meteorologists have been saying for a while something like this would happen, that the levees should be strengthened and heightened.</p>

<p>Apparently the government was busy spending billions of dollars for a war. I think I read that it would’ve taken about 3-4 billion dollars to increase New Orleans flood/storm protection. A petty amount compared to the war’s hundreds of billion dollars and Katrina’s close to 30 billion dollars, plus the money required for relief and rebuilding.</p>

73

<p>

</p>

<p>You absolutly know nothing about the war. Saudia Arabia is the number one funder to Al Qaeda, did ya not know that. They have funded almost every aspect of Al Qaeda to date. Saudia Arabia is also a great supplier of oil to America. Is it not? Would we want to ruin that relationship? I doubt that. Would we want to go to war with Saudia Arabia in Saudia Arabia, I highly doubt that due to the fact that we have such a great relationship with Saudia Arabia. So we go to Iraq, when Saudia Arabia said they didnt care and they would still fund Al Qaeda. So we went into Iraq to show them we ment Business. When this happened, and they stopped funding Al Qaeda, we then saw Terrorist Attacks by Al Queda in retaliation.</p>

<p>Their were 4 of them.</p>

<pre><code>May 12, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: suicide bombers killed 34, including eight Americans, at housing compounds for Westerners. Al-Qaeda suspected.

May 29–31, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: terrorists attack the offices of a Saudi oil company in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, take foreign oil workers hostage in a nearby residential compound, leaving 22 people dead including one American.

June 11–19, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: terrorists kidnap and execute Paul Johnson Jr., an American, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Two other Americans and BBC cameraman killed by gun attacks.

Dec. 6, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: terrorists storm the U.S. consulate killing 5 before being subdued by Saudi security who killed 4 of the militants.

<p>emperor550, I ahve stated my position many times and can show evidence and data which will prove it all.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, where do I contridict myself?</p>

74

<p>Sorry, this thread has deviated from a discussion of Hurricane Katrina, but it happens. Scotch, you say have stated your position many times, but I have no idea exactly what it is. What are you arguing about? Aren’t you supposed to be Pro-Bush and Pro-Iraq War?</p>

<p>Bush has never stated “showing Saudia Arabia we mean business” as a motive for attacking Iraq. It’s always been WMDS or instilling democracy. All your evidence supports me, we know that Saudia Arabia is the main force behind Al Queda and yet our need for oil won’t let us do the right thing. </p>

<p>I think you’re basic point now is that we invaded Iraq to force Saudia Arabia to stop funding Al Queda. Besides the fact that you just made this theory up, its backfired since our involvement in Iraq has led to more terrorists (like the London bomber who said he did it in protest of the Iraq war).</p>

<p>So maybe I’m the person who would get punched in the face and cry. You’re the person who would get punched in the face and then retaliate by hitting one of the smaller kids laughing at you instead of the actual bully who punched you. Your strategy works so much better.</p>

75

<p>I do support Bush and the war 100%.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>he couldent state that, and did not. A white lie.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>yes thats my point which I have gotten from over 30 books I have read on the topic. Seems to be the Winning Theory. I recommend this Book, Its rather good. <a href=“http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0385512457/qid=1125238292/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-6629754-9495848?v=glance&s=books[/url]”>http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0385512457/qid=1125238292/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-6629754-9495848?v=glance&s=books&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>terrorist attacks which have killed, 50 people and not 3,000, Britain and Spain and now the rest of Europe and Japan before the United Starte again.</p>

<p><a href=“like%20the%20London%20bomber%20who%20said%20he%20did%20it%20in%20protest%20of%20the%20Iraq%20war”>quote</a>.

[/quote]
</p>

<p>yeah, why woudlent he, The Saudi’s dont fund them anymore. So of course he would protest it.</p>

<p>You have ZERO idea of what you are talking about, you have made garbadge up. I will not debate you here anymore because you are a waste of time, who just cant retain information from 2 paragraphs. If you would like to continue to debate me, Please PM me. We can arange something in NYC, You live in LI and I live in the Bronx and It could eaily be aranged.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If that bully, controlled the well being of my Family, Like saudi arabia does America.</p>

<p>Then yes</p>

76

<p>Is that why The C Student was holding The Saudi Kings hand in a pathetic lovefest when he visited his boss GW Bush in Crawford, Tx. This administration of thugs & heartless souls give the Saudi’s & Racist Israeli’s 100 % support. The Oil interest that control GW Bush have put this incompetent Racist patsy in charge of the country while they line their pockets with these sky high oil & gas prices. There were some idiots who supported Bush thinking he was stealing Iraqi Oil to make their lives easier with low energy costs, wrong! The whole purpose of this phony murderous war was to jack the prices of fuel to make the Texas Oil Barron crooks rich while destroying average americans standard of living.</p>

77

<p>Scotch, you’re an idiot. Nobody gets what you are trying to say, oil is a MAJOR reason behind the Iraq war, regardless of what you or the media has to say. And yes, George Bush is a RACIST, its true. I hate Bush, the only BUSH I like is my own :D</p>

78

<p>

</p>

<p>In my last 2-4 posts, I have said oil is the biggest factor.</p>

<p>so what are you talking about. Learn to read.</p>

79

<p>

</p>

<p>LOL! In your last 2-4 posts, you were talking about Saudi Arabi fundin Al-Quaeda, NOTHING about oil. It you you, not me, who should learn to read. Most conservatives lack logic anyways, so dont feel bad :)</p>
