So the Deluded King gave his LAST Presser today and he was questioned about Katrina....and this is how he responded ( Huffpo):::
"On another issue destined to figure prominently in his legacy, Bush said he disagrees with those who say the federal response to Hurricane Katrina was slow.
"Don't tell me the federal response was slow when there were 30,000 people pulled off roofs right after the storm passed. ... Could things been done better? Absolutely. But when I hear people say the federal response was slow, what are they going to say to those chopper drivers or the 30,000 who got pulled off the roof?" he said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just to be really clear- there were Thousands of Victims due to Katrina, but NOT just due to the Storm, Many were Victims of Bush's Criminal Negligence, that he did NOTHING for over FIVE DAYS, and then the "aid" he provided was pathetic and meager.There are International Laws that mandate that National Leadership take care of Natural Disaster Refugees.
And Just to Correct Bush, he is wrong about the Numbers Rescued and WHO rescued them, it was the Coast Guard , Who did so WITHOUT Orders, because they had to, and the MIlitary was NOT activated, even the Navy sat idle, because Busb would not and did NOT give the orders. Even Gore helped Bring Private Planes in to remove Hospital Victims. The UN sent Disaster Assessment Teams...The Devastation and Neglect was seen World Wide, there is hundreds of hours of Footage and Photos.
So When there are Trials held About the Bush Regime's Crimes Against Humanity, let us not forget that it is NOT just Gitmo and Illegal War and Illegal Torture where Bush as a Leader harmed His People and Humanity....there is Katrina.

He has not a clue about the Devastation , even now, or What was Lost and Damaged Forever or his role in it. Maybe Someone Should sit him down and make him watch this Documentary, " The Drive" about NOLA, and what was Lost there in 2005...While he was on Vacation and Eating Cake with McCain....

Bush had the "Help" of the Homeland Security Dept to add to Mishandling and Negligence of Katrina ( Chertoff and Brownie both have blood on their hands as well....) NOW Knowing that- please do read this HOW HLS NOW wants to have a 3.4 BILLION Dollar Facility Built in these Hard Economic Times does Anyone really need to wonder at the Level of Incompetence of the Bush Regime ? It's Downright Criminal.....

I could never and would never get tired of hearing you talk about this. It is as you say criminal and for him to just deny it was as bad as it was and try to say HE did so much...makes me ill.
Even the Joke tried this morning to make it like there was no problem. He said he was there on Tuesday morning broadcasting. I couldn't believe he was saying that. Talking about how things weren't all that bad, it was over hyped. That it was Governor Blanco and Ray Nagin's fault. That none of the Republicans had any trouble just the Democrats...what an ass hole.
Why would a building cost 3.4 Billion??? Aren't there any empty buildings they could use??
Annette:
I am still pissed about it...I will always be pissed...I blogged it when it happened...hour by hour...and then through the years I have blogged HOW neglected it still is.....
and to this day Nagin and Blanco are blamed...damnit- that is NOT how it happened...( even CNN has removed the DOME and the dead photos from their archives...)
and it's weird that Bush was quick to whip out the 33,000 numbers...because fall of 2005 that is the VERY number that SBC reported MISSING...literally the Phone Company could not locate the people....they never set up more service of anything.....( I saved hundreds of articles on this...and photos...and the week that it happened I taped many hours of it and sent it and a Disaster report to the UN....and spoke with them, I worked Disasters for the Red Cross as an RN when I lived out west- took FEMA training..etc ...I also shipped medical supplies down and ordered Water from Liquor and Beer Companies and baby formula and had it sent to the Astrodome...I was able to do all that with a cellphone and computer while living downtown CTown....I was furious...I do my best work when I am pissed....BUT it was never enough...and for years NOLA has haunted me...if Housing was better down there I would move there with my son...he and I have talked about it alot...)
oh and about the 3.4 ????wtf???
I have NO idea....but it is Absurd..Congress votes this year....NO WAY....
Well I hope not... we will have to watch for it to come up for a vote and when it does start to write on it. That is just crazy...no way we need to be spending that much money for a damn building.
Annette::
definently we need to keep an eye on this- the stupid Building Project....BUT I think HLS is in for a HUGE overhaul....so that might it also get scrutiny- I intend to blog it that way- Shouldn't HLS MONEY be spent on Security Issues and Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management....etc ( I personally don't think putting FEMA and Emergency Response and Preparedness UNDER HLS was a good move...at all...)
Bush also claimed if he would've landed in New Orleans, instead of the flyover look-see, there would've been complaints that law enforcement was diverted from "escorting people out of New Orleans". The man's mental rewrite of history is astounding. We all saw on TV & read the eyewitness accounts. Law Enforcement wasn't escorting people out of New Orleans after Katrina struck ---- they were KEEPING THEM THERE, PREVENTING THEM FROM LEAVING! They were also preventing food & medical supplies from reaching the people, turning away semi-trucks of supplies outside the city. Dumbass Bush gets it wrong again!
he talks about diverting traffic that law enforcement would have had to do- Fucking dumass- there was NO traffic- the city was Drowning- UNDER Water...what an idiot....did he not see ANY of the Photos or the videos ????I know they made him DVDs - BUT why did he not watch the NEWS that week ????WHY ?????is he incompetent ???Unfit for the job that he can not even watch the news ????but he had the ability to take a Vacation for FIVE weeks and go have cake with McCain.....
Yup, he leaves office in the same cloud of mental confusion as when he assumed it. The man is and always was incompetent, unfit to serve, unable to form sound judgments or process information. Of course he didn't watch TV or videos, he has the attention span of a flea! Unless it involves clearing brush or mountain biking, he's not interested. At the time, his lying mouth kept saying that he'd heard the day after Katrina, that we'd dodged a bullet (notice he would always say he "heard", because he did NOT watch the news). He used that as an excuse for not monitoring the levees. Now years later, he comes up with this Law Enforcement excuse, pulled directly out of his dumbass.
I saw a clip of Bush angrily responding to a remark about the slow response to Katrina. He is misremembering the facts, but it's all there documented..... I'll never forget (and we should never forget) people chanting WE NEED HELP in front of the astrodome & stranded on rooftops.
4 years later, there are still areas that never did get help or cleaned up.
