gee, dubya...
a.p. junkie bee fee's political rant - BEWARE! this might make us fight, so bring it on if you must.
I don't think anyone could have anticipated the breach of the levees.I don't think anyone could have anticipated airplanes crashing into buildings.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that a dumb-ass-wanna-be-cowpoke could become president.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that the U.S. government would be involved with the events of september 11, 2001.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that JFK was shot by more than one person.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that the Bush Family was financially supporting the Nazi uprising.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that The Carlyle Group and other multimillion dollar investment corporations profited from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (among all other military installations, contracts, etc.)I don't think anyone could have anticipated that hundreds of thousands of people could be killed by atomic weapons.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that Vice President Dick Cheney was benefiting personally from his former employer's no-bid contracts with the U.S. government.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that the USCIA was involved with the Contras of Nicaragua or the Shah of Iran, or that either of these parties were connected to each other in any way.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that the release of the hostages from Iran was delayed and timed to coincide with Ronald Reagan's inauguration day. I don't think anyone could have anticipated that George H.W. Bush (then soon to be Vice President) was the head of the USCIA at the time of the hostage taking and eventual release.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that people in the most impoverished part of the U.S.A. would be left to rot on their rooftops following a declaration of a national emergency.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that there would not be enough National Guard troops located in the continental U.S. available to immediately assist in the cleanup and establishment of order following a declaration of a national emergency.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that the war in Iraq was initiated to secure and redistribute the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world.I don't think anyone could have anticipated that the war in Afghanistan was begun to secure the building of an oil pipeline for privately held oil corporations.
[feel free to add more]Ex-FEMA Chief Tied to Hurricane Relief LobbyingThe website TalkingPointsMemo is reporting that the former head of FEMA, Joe Allbaugh, may stand to profit from the catastrophe in the Gulf region through his various lobbying efforts. President Bush tapped Allbaugh to head FEMA after he served as Bush's campaign manager during the 2000 election. He headed FEMA until March 2003 just as the U.S. was launching its invasion of Iraq. Then Allbaugh helped form a lobbying firm called New Bridge Strategies in order to help clients "take advantage of business opportunities in the Middle East following the conclusion of the U.S.-led war in Iraq." New Bridge Strategies was also formed by several top executives from the lobbying firm then known as Barbour Griffith & Rogers. The head of that firm was Haley Barbour who is now the Republican governor of Mississippi. Earlier this year Joe Allbaugh signed on as a lobbyist for Halliburton subsidiary KBR in order to "educate the congressional and executive branch on defense, disaster relief and homeland security issues." Just last week the federal government announced that Halliburton would be hired to repair the Gulf Coast military bases damaged by Katrina. And now the Washington Post is reporting that Allbaugh is also helping Louisiana "coordinate the private-sector response to the storm."
