~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is evident Now that the reason the Bush Administration witheld
government and military aid and had FEMA STOP any Private individuals
and other City and County govt agencies from being able to get in and
help is that they wanted the situation in New Orleans to Deteriorate to
Tragedy so Americans would be in Favor of the US Military being able to
be sent in by the President quickly to emergencies and having law
enforcement authority ! And guess who determines what an emergence is
if the Governors do not need to declare it ? !

House would like to dispatch troops faster and give them law enforcement
duties.
11 Sep 2005 A senior White House official said Saturday that in the
wake of the hurricane that demolished part of the nation's Gulf Coast,
the Bush administration was studying whether to expand the president's
powers to deploy the U.S. military in natural disasters...
Separately, congressional sources said that Sen. John W. Warner [R-VA]
thought some change might be needed in the 19th century law that
restricted use of the military on U.S. soil, known as the Posse
Comitatus Act, but they emphasized that there were no immediate plans to
expand presidential powers to dispatch troops.
Firms with Bush ties snag Katrina deals 10 Sep 2005 Companies with ties

contracts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. At least two major
corporate clients of lobbyist Joe Allbaugh George W. Bush's former
campaign manager and a former head of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, have already been tapped to start recovery work along the

One is Shaw Group Inc. and the other is Halliburton Co. subsidiary

short-term housing for people displaced by the hurricane.

Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer said Friday. In July,
Israel requested funding for development which was to be part of a $2.25
billion package for the disengagement plan.

FEMA mortuary move irritates volunteer 10 Sep 2005 The Federal Emergency
Management Agency has a hired contractor to provide services that a
local mortician says have been available from volunteers through the

no charge," said Dan Buckner, co-owner and manager of Gowen-Smith
Chapel. "Now, they'll have this job done by people who will be paid.
That kind of irks me."
Insurers balk at paying out to 1 million Katrina flood victims 11 Sep
2005 Millions of people forced out of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina
may not be insured for the damage to their homes. More than half of the
properties in the city are understood to be insured only for hurricane
damage, with insurers insisting that it was a flood that forced the
evacuation of the city. If US courts agree, this could save the
insurance industry as much as $10bn (£5.4bn) and leave more than a
million people destitute.

condos and hotels."
Neigh to Cronies By Maureen Dowd 10 Sep 2005 "The breakdown in
management and communications was so execrable that the president
learned about the 25,000 desperate, trapped people at the New Orleans
convention center not from Brownie [Michael Brown], who didn't know
himself, but from a wire story carried into the Oval Office by an aide
on Thursday, 24 hours after the victims had been pleading and crying for
help on every channel. (Maybe tomorrow the aide will come in with a wire
story, 'No W.M.D. in Iraq.')"
A Letter to All Who Voted for George W. Bush from Michael Moore 11 Sep
2005 "On this, the fourth anniversary of 9/11, I'm just curious, how
does it feel? How does it feel to know that the man you elected to lead
us after we were attacked went ahead and put a guy in charge of FEMA
whose main qualification was that he ran horse shows? That's right.
Horse shows. I really want to know -- and I ask you this in all
sincerity and with all due respect -- how do you feel about the utter
contempt Mr. Bush has shown for your safety?"

weaved together as an elaborate inside job, a claim that only forensics
can prove. http://www.legitgov.org/9_1_1_oddities.html
Day 1,461 And Counting --It's the fourth anniversary of September 11 --
and Osama bin Laden is still at large. By Michael Tomasky 08 Sep 2005
"...[E]ven the disaster Bush has created in Iraq takes a back seat to
one overwhelming fact: By the time night falls on September 11, Osama
bin Laden will have been at large for 1,461 days. America vanquished
world fascism in less time: We obtained Germany's surrender in 1,243
days, Japan's in 1,365. Even the third Punic War, in which Carthage was
burned to the ground and emptied of citizens who were taken en masse
into Roman slavery, lasted around 1,100 days (and troops needed a little
longer to get into position back in 149 B.C.)."

The water is going down slowly. The President's popularity is sinking
like a stone 11 Sep 2005 The Bush administration's handling of Hurricane

way Bush is doing his job overall, a record-low for this pResident in
the NEWSWEEK poll. [Well, as they say, some good comes out of all bad
things. This may be the only good Katrina does. It took Katrina to do
what 99.9% of the world wishes it could do, long ago: Blow Bush the hell
out of here. --MDR]

handling of Katrina's aftermath? *41500 responses - Yes 13%; No 84%; I
don't know 2% [Poll snapshot: 10 Sep 2005 22:46 GMT] [Bush is left only

New Orleans with M-16s? By Will Bunch 08 Sep 2005 "How do you know that
we're finally taking the situation in New Orleans seriously? We're
sending in the private mercenaries -- the very same folks we've called
on to do the dirty work in Iraq. Reports are beginning to surface that
New Orleans and environs are crawling with armed private commandos from
Blackwater USA, the North Carolina-based security firm that has risen to
prominence with its highly visible role in Iraq."
New Orleans Begins Confiscating Firearms 08 Sep 2005 Waters were

foot."CLGers: Please contribute for September's expenses, thank you!
