Hurrican Katrina...Time to help out
PJB @ Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:21 am
Hurrican Katrina devastated New Orleans and countless other cities and towns in the Southern United States. Is it time to put aside these disagreements and pitch in to help out?

If they want it, you bet.
Nasty weather, eh! Some of that footage was intense!!

New Orleans levee breaks; mayor says 80% of city flooded
They are kinda busy now, trying to stay alive but don't worry we will all fee the effects of this one:
Economic effects of Katrina will be widespread
Katrina could choke energy supplies
Now there are reports of hundreds looting.

NO!

The people who have the money are not there, it's the poor bastards who got stuck in the dome that have lost everything. They needed help before the storm and like the Tsunami victims the aid would do them good.
More than 95 percent of Gulf oil production lost
Hurricane Katrina damage worse than expected

No surprise there. New Orleans is an amoral town so why would anyone be surprised to see the people who celebrate immorality acting dishonestly? I'd expect the same in San Francisco or Los Angeles...oh, wait, it's happened in both places in recent years.
Canada has one-up on us with this one. I'm sure there'd be issues in Toronto or Montreal were a disaster to hit, but I'd expect most Canadians to be too busy helping each other to have time to help themselves to other people's belongings.
I'm sorry the worst nature has to offer brings out the worst some Americans have to offer. It is shameful and embarrassing.

Let them...bring their armed forces home to clean up.
I agree. Let's bring them home from Europe, Asia, Bosnia, Haiti, and wherever else we're keeping the peace and let someone else keep the peace.
That'll also free up troops to finish the job in Iraq.

there is no "finishing the job on Iraq" any more than there was a finishing the job in Viet Nam. There is no way to 'win' anything there. It's just a matter of how much money and how many lives Bush and his minions want to squander.

Viet Nam, do you mean the war that France lost and then passed off to us to finish and where, according to Ho Chi Minh himself, we would've won had it not been for fuckbrained liberals like Jane Fonda fighting the war for him in the USA? Or do you mean the Viet Nam where the USA now has a higher approval rate than it does in the USA? That Viet Nam?
And Iraq is a work in progress which I wish we had not committed to, but since we're there we need to finish what we started lest people like yourself then run around saying how we left a mess behind and should've stayed to finish the job.

which anyone I know from that country calls, "The war where we beat the Americans".

Come on Bart tell me exactly what it is that the fuckbrained liberals stopped the US military from doing that would've won them the war? use napalm? bomb Laos and Cambodia?

would be to leave their armed forces free to kill people overseas and their money free to give to Israel to kill people. It's like a drunken bum on the street. He asks for a dollar for food or a quarter for a phone call, but you know he's going to buy some cheap wine with every cent he gets. Let them turn down that extra 3.3 billion to Israel that someone mentioned a couple of weeks ago here and bring their armed forces home to clean up.
WOW you are pretty idiodic i would not want to be your nieghbor

Judging from your "articulated" statement it's easy to know nobody lives anywhere near you.
