8. The WHITE HOUSE link. Not the Faux link.

You asked why we should believe the Faux article. I said because the info. in the article is right on the White House's own site and that the link was in a post below mine. The info. showing the pResident declared a SOE on 8/28.

9. And it isnt a fox article, its an AP article. NT

[txindy]

13. Right, it's just copied on Faux.

I understand the phobia about Faux, but it doesn't make everything found there a lie.

Thanks for pointing out the AP origins. :hi:

5. It is an associated press article on the fox website. EOM

2. Here is the White House link

4. Are you actually coming in here and telling us that the White House lied?

Hope your bretheren don't learn of your defection.

[txindy]

10. I took the OP to mean that this is what we can use AGAINST those people

The Doubting Thomases, I mean. :shrug:

6. Your not too bright!

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/08/20050827-1.html

Look at the date...

Don't make the death of people a game...

[K-W]

7. Your post confuses me.

August 27 was the reslease date, which was saturday, proving that FEMA was in control of the situation before the levee's broke.

[txindy]

12. What are you talking about?

How is the OP making this a game? Junior declared a State of Emergency BEFORE Katrina hit. FEMA had control BEFORE the storm hit. That's what Blanco's been saying since last week. That's the proof we have right on the WH's own site. How is that a game? :shrug:

11. Faux tonight blamed LA FEMA

The spin was that states have rights and LA FEMA would not allow US FEMA or Red Cross to enter NO, fearing that food and water would be a 'magnet' for more people staying in NO.

[txindy]

16. FEMA controls itself. They're trying to slice off a piece & place blame

That's what it sounds like. They can't blame the state directly, so they'll take some of their own people, toss them over the side, and place the blame there.

What part of FEDERAL Emergency Management Agency does Faux refuse to understand?!

Morally bankrupt, every last one of them.

Adding: Glad to see you recognized the idiocy as "spin." What will they blame next? The LA White House? Maybe the LA Office of the Presidency? :eyes:

[AlCzervik]

17. i saw the same thing and whats really funny is that redcross

helicopters were flying low around NO on labor day so that angle from faux is just as false as all their other bs.

[leeroysphitz]

14. Good one, thx

I'm starting to amass quite a collection. Kind of like having a lot of funny money for when we get to play the blame game.
