Cmdr. of US Northern Command tells CNN "if and when the president decides to step it up" he will act
by John in DC - 8/31/2005 02:53:00 PM

If and when? IF AND WHEN?

We've known about this approaching disaster for well over 5 days, we've had the disaster for well over 2 days, and the commander of the US Northern Command, an Admiral no less, is talking about "if and when" the president decides to step up his response to the hurricane?

Huh?

Of course, Bush did only just get off Air Force One in DC, carrying his dog, no less, so I'm sure he's still in vacation mode. You know how it is. Funny it took him 8 hours to fly from Texas to DC, since he's only arriving here at 3pm EST. Even with the detour over New Orleans, it shouldn't have taken a jet 8 hours to fly from Texas to DC. (I say 8 hours because I assume, in the face of such a horrific crisis, the president immediately got on his plane this morning at 8am and flew back to DC.) Unless of course Bush delayed his vacation even more this morning.

This is Adm. Timothy Keating on CNN right now:

As you know, as you just said, initially, principally a local law enfrocement effort. If and when the president decides to step it up and use active duty forces, we will be, and it would be at almost certainly the request of the governor of Louisiana or Missippi... we would be able to respond with any number of options.


Impeach bush NOW!

1. Well, what the heck is Bush waiting for?

I second the "Impeach bush NOW!"

2. WTF is wrong with that rat bastard?

Peace.

3. Perhaps Bush likes this crisis. Perhaps sending the army in right

away will not create enough hate amongst the poor looters. They love their fear don't they?

4. Does law enforcement do rapid logistics?

I am reminded of the ass from FEMA, the regional director or something who said, "preparation for the war on terra is preparation for national disasters."

Why is it that every emergency faced by bushco reveals misplaced priorities, incompetent leadership, and massive blunders?

5. Because he appoints all....

his friends to high-ranking government positions in which they have no experience. Then, when the sh*t hits, nobody's in charge. Stupidity through the ranks.

6. It's like a prolonged orgasm for *

I'm beginning to believe the stories about * getting his joy out of misery, death, and destruction. Imagine a fantasy about knocking the * SOB out of a chopper in the middle of NO--would his buff chimperor self survive? Shit, a reality TV series in the making.

7. When I heard that, I couldn't believe it! We have no leadership

in this government...at least none that is worth a damn.

8. AP is reporting that the Pentagon has taken over

coordinating the response to Katrina. If Rummie made this decision on his own, this would amount to a military coup.
