If Something Happens, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN! Good Luck Citizens!

[DistressedAmerican]

Be prepared to do for yourself in the event of any emergency.

You cannot count on the first responders to be properly equipped.

You cannot count on evacuation from the emergency area.

You cannot count on available gasoline on the highways.

You cannot count on food or water being dropped or delivered.

You cannot count on a helicopter to take you to safety.

You cannot count on George Bush's federal government response in ANY WAY.

FEND FOR YOURSELF AMERICA AND AMERICANS ABROAD! GOOD LUCK!

Like they want to prove their own argument that the government always sucks so they can contract Halliburton to evacuate NOLA and Lebanon on no bid contracts!

cruise line exec: (loudly) Yes Mr.prezdent yes of course. I see. Mr.prezdent - the US citizens - they do seem to want to leave Lebanon. And they are US citizens you know. Why - I suppose some of them have families who even voted in the last election.

cruise line exec: (loudly) Err yes yes of course Mr.prezdent. The reason I am calling is to offer my firms services in transporting the stranded US citizens out of Lebanon. We just happen to have a couple of cruise ships in the area dropping off some,,, ahhh,,, entrepreneurs.

Getting ready for November 3rd, the day after.

[bdamomma]

5. impeachment

this regime has to be marched to the ICC in the Hague.

[lonestarnot]

6. One step at a time.

[spinbaby]

7. A free-market economy has been acheived!

Glory be!

:sarcasm:

[deaniac21]

8. If America has the power to murder Iraqi citizens daily surely

they could rescue Americans from ANY warzone they choose to live in! Another great allotment of resources by this misadministration.

[ellenfl]

9. another reason for impeachment . . . this admin is

trying to bring down the government.

13. Bankrupt it...bring it down...drown it in the bathtub (right Grover?)

People who hate government should not be allowed to govern.

[northzax]

10. um, no one has really explained

why the US government has the responsibility to immediately evacuate any American, anywhere. Can you?

Personally, I think we should send in the Marines, say, 10,000 of them, to secure all Americans. fuck the Lebanese, them we'll leave to die. Americans on vacation are much more important. much. especially photgenic ones

[bluerum]

12. Because we pay our taxes, join the military, and maintain the government?

[AspenRose]

14. A-ha...so THAT's why

those "Be Prepared dot GUV" FEMA PSAs are pushing this message so hard....

"Be prepared to get yourself out of (disaster-du-jour), because we won't be able to help you!"

It all makes sense, now. :dunce:
