So, the Pretzeldente was 'fully engaged' for Katrina...
We have video of him lying his ass off, promising resources that didn't come for days, some never came to the gulf coast, knowing the potential for loss of life and property.

So, what happened to the resources? Where did they go? Did he promise and just didn't deliver? Did he think Brownie was taking care of it? Did he hold them back for some unGodly reason? For all of the testimony and video so far, I still do not know why nothing happened to help the people of the gulf coast. And the administration is still trying to blame the locals.

And, as mentioned on Countdown last night, why did Smirky lie about not knowing something that almost everyone else knew? Even Brownie called it "the big one" which means he was aware of the worst case scenario. It had been on the Discovery channel for years. Why lie? What was he covering with this lie? Why not just say we didn't respond quickly enough, and we will do better next time and here is what we are going to improve. Why lie?

Yes, it is a lie. You reich wing creeps can spin all you want. It doesn't matter if you pour water in a bowl from over the side or through a hole in the side, the middle is still covered in water. And, if you pour water over a levee long enough, it will weaken and collapse.

Never forget that the gulf coast still is in dire need. Smirky has still not fulfilled his promises to the region. Only now are they searching for bodies.

'Fully engaged' in yet another quagmire. Smirky and Brownie, both, are still trying to hide what happened, IMHO. Someday, there will be an investigation. I pray for that day.

1. IMHO, after they heard it might be the "big one", they wanted to use NOLA
as a test case for martial law. Several things point to this theory:

1. the pressuring of LaBlanca to turn over the state completely.
2. the FALSE reports of rioting and unrest
3. the intentional severing of communications by homeland security, witnessed by a parish president.
4. the turning away of a myriad of groups showing up to assist.
5. The turning down of offered foreign aid
6. That the blackwater mercs were on the ground, in NOLA, the day after Katrina, but assistance did not come for several days. Who paid the mercs?
7. They transported a sound crowd control weapon on the same day as the Mercs. Allegedly, so they could project a voice of help very far away, but we never heard of it being used for that. In fact, the primary use of the device is for crowd control, it can use resonances to make a group of people feel like they are on fire. Its primary use is as a weapon.

I could go on, but you get the picture.

I think, the ONLY THING that prevented them was the live TV reporting. What they were saying officially and what people saw with their own eyes did not jive. This demonstrates their INTENT to mislead the rest of us, because they couldn't adjust their talking points faster than the live video.

And, if you'll recall, they eventually BARRED reporters from the area and FORBID them to photograph body recovery.

2. I think you're on to something.
Makes perfect sense to me... But, people don't seem to give a shit.

The * cabal seems to get away with anything they want!
