Bush has plan to strengthen New Orleans levees

WASHINGTON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - The White House planned to announce on Thursday a plan to strengthen New Orleans levees to withstand any storm like the one that flooded the city three months ago, an administration official said.

President George W. Bush planned to meet federal officials involved in the effort and they were to brief reporters afterwards, the officials said.

1. That would be welcome news indeed. But

I guess we'll have to wait and see how effective a plan he comes up with.

[michreject]

2. Better start building a boat........ eom

[ananda]

3. This sounds like another example of..

.. all promise and no funding.

They've already withdrawn the promised funds for
housing Katrina evacuees.

Sheesh.

12. What ever happened to the 15 billion for AIDS in Africa?

[0007]

17. What ever happened to that aid that was promised to New York

after 911?

[ladjf]

18. How is that Bush just promises these things, never delivers

and the press or the Democrats don't call him on it?

[0007]

22. I think Hillary call him on the NY promise! But the media

had more important things to talk about.

[daleo]

4. He plans to use magic pixie dust

Along with lots of praying.

31. I thought he would hire beavers

You only have to pay them in food, and there's no worry about healthcare benefits or anything. But they must be american beavers-no illegal immigrant beavers.

5. Faith-based levees... He'll rebuild on the cheap-pray they work...

Actually he's going to build a special "bunker" under the levee walls where he plans to put Cheney, Delay, Abramoff and any indictees from his administration.

[MsLeopard]

6. Or they've finally figured out a way

to funnel more billions of dollars into Halliburton, Bechtel, et al, under the guise of "strengthening the levees." With these bastards one must constantly try to imagine the most disturbing way of spending the publics money, and then apply that possibility to reality.

Such is life for 5 years now. So sad.

7. Another PLAN?

Is this like the plan for success for Iraq? He will give four speeches and do nothing else? Probably.

Probably put Rove in charge of this plan too.

8. Stick his ego in there ...done talking!

New Orleans is safe forever-

[DrDan]

9. he has been up late at night for weeks with

his sliderule and engineering tables working out a new levee plan

[sabra]

11. you mean you weren't impressed with his hammering abilities

shown to us "Live" on the today show?

[AnneD]

13. Kathleen's testimony yesterday musta hit some nerves.....

[ixion]

14. anytime * has a plan

I get nervous. :scared:

[Al-CIAda]

15. 500 billion for corporations in a war based on lies,

and empty promises for millions of suffering AMERICANS who's federal government fleeced and forgot them.

[librechik]

16. turns out BS is a fantastic levee-building material

he's been working hard to build up the necessary supplies.

[ladjf]

19. If bush ever delivers on this promise it will due to political pressure

rather than humanitarianism. Marketing.

[KamaAina]

20. Whew! Thank goodness he needed to boost his poll numbers!

:sarcasm: otherwise he'd have been perfectly happy to let N.O. drown.

Guess that "off the radar screen" coment got under their skin a little bit, huh? Hey, whatever it takes...

[librarycard]

21. If it's anything like his plan to get out of Iraq, we're in trouble

[Tomee450]

23. I'll adopt a wait

and see attitude. They have already made a lot of promises which have not been kept.

[DrZeeLit]

24. hahahahahahahahahahaha.... I can't take it. I'm cryin' here.

Please...make him stop.

If Monty Python was doing this bit, no one would hesitate to LAUGH.

[karlrschneider]

25. Oh, right. The idiot Chimp couldn't plan a sunrise with an almanac

and 3 astronomers...
:eyes:

[Solly Mack]

26. So, what's the catch?

Cause there's always a catch....

[primavera]

27. Wait... don't tell me...

... what do you bet it involves imposing a hefty tax on the impoverished victims of Katrina and giving a massive tax break to the wealthiest 1% who had the good sense to be vacationing in Bora Bora when Katrina hit!

[MountainLaurel]

30. Don't you know it

[stickdog]

28. Just as soon as Iraq is a shining beacon of democracy, right?

[stickdog]

29. I drove my Chevy to the levee -- just another Bush lie. (nt)

[madmark]

32. everything this guy has touched has turned to shit

[Canuckistanian]

33. Strengthen it with what?

The corpses of another war?

[DeadManInc]

34. Hope it is better than his plan for victory.
