"Worse than 9/11 by more than a factor of ten"

[Walt Starr]

Mark my words, we'll be saying that after the number of dead becomes evident.

1. I have been thinking of that all day Walt

strange the MSM has not noted that yet, eh?

:sarcasm:

2. If they'll admit to it. Funny how they released WTC numbers immediately,

then backed away from initial estimates (I remember first hearing something like 30-50K dead). In this case, bu$hco will probably declare the number dead classified. And the early numbers would only increase, as the deaths continue. By waiting so long, it will be much more difficult to i.d. the victims.

3. I don't think they'll tell us.

Whoever cleans up New Orleans will be finding the bodies. Likely, that will be a federal agency. We'll never know.

And, yes, it is worse than 9/11 by a factor of 10. I think we can say that before the body count.

4. At least that and then some. nt.

5. So have we reached biblical proportions yet?

Monday I had a bunch of folks trying to convince me that this disaster wasn't that big a deal. I kept saying just wait, it's not over. Wait until the water comes. And then it came.

6. Haven't you gotten the memo?

It's only "officially" 59 as of today. :crazy:

7. List of wars and disasters by death toll

911 is small potatoes from history's worst events. The sooner people realize this the sooner they can see through the propaganda.
