What if Katrina had been a Nuclear Weapon?

[dave29]

The devastation would have been even worse.

Does this whole thing not expose the ridiculous notion that Bushco has this Nation's Security under control?

1. Was thinking the same thing but more concerned about emergency

response and aid after the fact. It seems no one knows what the heck is going on and things are not moving fast enough to help survivors.

2. Correction, it WAS a nuclear weapon, that is the energy release

of a CAT 1 hurricane, a CAT 4-5, yuo are taking a massive nuke, sans radiation

3. Iran would be glass right now

Whether or not they were responsible.

Maybe George will declare war on God and nuke heaven?

4. It sure does

That is why it is imperative to have your own emergency contingency plan for your family and friends. You will be on your own for at least the first 48 hours or more. This is a good time for all of us who are out of harms way to evaluate our own plans.

5. Or a combined infrastructure/biological strike.

But we're fighting them over there, aren't we?:sarcasm:

Ex-Counterterrorism Chief Cites Rise in Attacks

Richard A. Clarke, the former head of counterterrorism in the White House under presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, said yesterday that there were twice as many attacks outside Iraq in the three years after the 2001 attacks as in the three preceding years.

Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda group "are no longer the traditional leaders as they were in the 1990s," Clarke said, adding that the terrorist leader had been building ideological groups from Afghanistan before Sept. 11, 2001, and that they had grown in the past few years into 14 to 16 separate networks.

Clarke said that bin Laden and his top deputy, Ayman Zawahiri, exercise "symbolic control and provide broad-brush themes" and that most of the networks operate independently, but "there are some signs of cooperation among some."

Clarke took sharp issue with President Bush's repeated statements that by fighting terrorists abroad, the administration is preventing attacks in this country. "That is illogical on its face," Clarke said. Citing bombings in Madrid and London, Clarke said that "absolutely nothing prevents them from coming here."
