New Orleans: Who should be fired?
 

I'm amazed that no one has been fired yet over the lack of control in New Orleans. Bush (too bad we can't fire him) needs to fire someone and get someone in to get the job done. Who should he fire? Who isn't doing their job?

there's going to be so many ppl whose heads are going to roll it wont even be funny.... you can bet your ass the police commissioner and all his head honchos will be gone after the police were caught looting, etc etc.... it should be interesting to watch

Isn't it the 4th day now?

Pretty soon people are going to call for an impeachment of Mother Nature.

Prediction: NO is going to be set on fire by riots.

It looks like an african country now. And in African countries nobody gets fired.

Yeah, they're dictatorships.

I say we burn the whole thing down down when it dries out.

I saw on the news that alot of the police offivers in NO have turned in their badges recently. :(

I don't think they even bothered doing that.

I couldn't agree more :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Seems the fires have already started.

FEMA director Mike Brown would be a good start. :mad:

Alot of heads are gonna roll like a few of you said and it's getting worse. You can't just wipe up the entire state because not it's a small % of thugs. Not everyone. There's alot of decent people there, just the thugs are fucking it up

I just saw GWB's press conference and I think anyone who thought Iran was his next war target is way off base.

He just said, "The results are unacceptable", so I suspect he's drafting a plan to take Mother Nature out.

In early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, according to a Feb. 16, 2004, article, in New Orleans CityBusiness.

On June 8, 2004, Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana; told the Times-Picayune: "It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price we pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us."

George Bush

that would be the best thing to do

BUSH should be fired

I've counted 4 fires so far.

Why can't we fire Bush? It's called impeachment. Remember we impeached Clinton for lying about a blow job? Bush has lied about a lot worse than some cock sucking.

Bush lied about WMD's. They were adamant there was "no doubt" and that it was "certain" there were WMD's despite the myriad of people saying there weren't any there. I seem to remember satelite photos of specific trucks and camps and facilities where there was "no doubt" and it was an "absolute certainty" that WMDs and chemical compounds were being produced.

The administration repeatedly lied about the "imminent threat" to the USA by Iraq.

They lied about the connection between Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden.

They lied about there being no warnings of the attacks on 9/11/01.

He lied about a "fleet of unmanned planes" that were supposed to be used by Iraq to attack us with chemical weapons on our soil.

They lied about aluminum tubes, connections to terrorism, about the fact that they have been looking for a reason to attack Iraq since Innauguration Day.

As I'm typing this here, he's lying about why he's in Mississippi and not in New Orleans on CNN.

Scott McClellan, the press secretary, has been all over the TV trying to cover up the incompetence and lack of action by the Bush White House on Hurricane Katrina by saying "Now is not the time for politics". But meanwhile, the Republican National Committee leader is out there pimping the repeal of the Estate Tax.. er... uh.. I mean "Death Tax" (can't call it an estate tax because that makes it sound like what it is, a tax cut for rich folks, but if we call is a Death Tax the stupid masses will think, "Hey! I could die too, I need to get rid of that tax!").

LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE... And that's just the obvious ones off the top of my head. If you want to put on a matching set of tinfoil hats with me, we can look at some of the way out there lies like lies about who is at Gitmo and why and the like.

IMPEACH - To charge (a public official) with improper conduct in office before a proper tribunal.

I think it fits a whole range of situations that the Bush White House has muddled, fumbled and plain old lied about over the last 5 years. Unfortunately, it seems like I'm alone and nobody out there in DC has the balls to get the process moving.

Sad. But don't listen to me, I must be some Michael Moore loving, liberal whacko. Not just a citizen who has had enough bullshit and is getting mad as hell, but someone with a liberal adgenda. I couldn't possibly be a wife and business woman who is trying to keep my family alive. I couldn't possibly be one of the masses who are struggling as our benefits are cut, our businesses dwindle along with our health and nobody hears our cries for help.

It's not a lot of fun for a lot of us right now, but you ask those people in New Orleans (where the president can't be bothered to visit this morning because he's hanging out with Trent Lott and white mayors in Mississippi) if they feel like the White House is supporting them. My situation is bad, but I'm not dying yet. Those people are fucking dying.

That is done by congress and isn't what I was referring to.

police dont loot, they commandeer.

every single local official

Mike Brown. Director of FEMA. That guy has made a fool of himself 700 times in the past two days.

The lack of control has been brought on by the lack of LOCAL leadership. The Mayor of New Orleans isn't a leader, nor are the Police Chief, Fire Chief or the Governor of Louisiana. You can't blame the havoc on the federal government. Leadership (and the blame for lack of leadership) belongs to the LOCAL officials.

Agreed.

The Governor could have called out the National Guard days ago, too.
But she didn't. There are all kinds of Federal and non-Federal resources that either weren't deployed or were deployed in other places.

1) FEMA and the Guard are active all over LA, MS, and AL. And all we keep hearing about is New Orleans, because that's the place where the criminals are in charge.

2) New Orleans was already chaos and anarchy once the storm ended. It wasn't that days and days with no water drove them to it. We need to stop blaming the government and actually blame those who caused the violence.

3) If there wasn't an "armed resistance", the evacuations and supply deliveries would have started a lot earlier.

The lesson FEMA and Homeland Security have learned is to plan for a military invasion instead of a rescue/relief effort next time.

So, New Orleans will lead to a push for greater flexibility to declare martial law and deploy the regular military for combat within the US.

Here's hoping that our cities aren't designated for liberation any time soon.

:2 cents:

I think Clinton's bigger sins were with China and the technology he allowed to pass to them. Who really gives a shit about a blow job from some skank??

Clinton has be searching for his legacy while Bush has found his in the poor response to a national crisis in the gulf. For this I believe Bush deserves nothing less than impeachment. That's the short version...

We may a gree, but for different reasons.

from the top till the bottom.

I don't blame the bottom. It's the top that should go.

I agree, after all the hurricanes he should have enough experience to prepare days before the storm even hits :Oh crap

It's funny that when there was a hurricane in Florida last year, where Bush's brother is Governor and where he needed votes, everyone on the right applauded the quick response of the federal government. Now they are saying that this much worse storm should have been handled on a local level.
Just ridiculous.

The day Katrina hit the US was the day that the Iraqi war and its costs that blocked stronger dykes to protect New Orleans came to take thousands of US civilian casualties.

you guys shouldnt have elected him in the first place.
