Do you have an overwhelming feeling of doom and gloom? I do.
Analogy -- You have five children. You spend a pretty sum of money to send them to a boarding school. You expect they will be well cared for. You get a call one day that one of the children is missing. But don't worry. We have everything under control and know exactly where your child is being held, and are in the process of retrieving him. Two weeks go by and nothing. Then after three weeks you get a call. Uh, another child is missing. So, here's your decision -- Do I change schools for their incompetence? They keep telling me they are on the case and it would be a wrong idea to change schools since they have been working on the case of the missing children and have all the information needed to find them and it would be a bad idea to change horses mid-stream. Whether this was a boarding school, caregiver, teacher, whatever -- I would have to fire you after you lost one of my children.
My point is that this administration has no concern for the majority of this country outside of the context of how we benefit them and their agenda. And believe me their agenda puts us way down on the food chain. Their actions and inactions speak volumes, but they are falling on deaf ears . . . until now, I hope.
Remember, the same guys that are running the debacle in Iraq are the same ones that are going to be responsible for New Orleans and the rest of the gulf coast. Example: Halliburton being given no-bid contracts to rebuild New Orleans.
Consider that just last week Bunnatine Greenhouse, chief overseer of contracts for the Army Corps of Engineers, was fired for 'poor job performance'. She has worked in military procurement for 20 years. Her demotion removes her from the elite Senior Executive Service and reassigns her to a lesser job in the corps' civil works division.
Greenhouse's lawyer, Michael Kohn, called the action an "obvious reprisal" for the strong objections she raised in 2003 to a series of corps decisions involving the Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root, which has garnered more than $10 billion for work in Iraq.
"She is being demoted because of her strict adherence to procurement requirements and the Army's preference to sidestep them when it suits their needs," Kohn said.He also said the Army violated a commitment to delay Greenhouse's dismissal until the completion of an inquiry by the Pentagon's inspector general.
Unless this guy is removed from office the gulf coast is going to become the new feeding trough to replace Iraq or help fund Iraq as that funding has caused the predicament in New Orleans. Pardon my French but if he stays WE ARE FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!
