The Charge, Mr. Bush, is Negligent Homicide

"It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price we pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us."

-- Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana; New Orleans Times-Picayune, June 8, 2004.


Because of Bush's obsession with Iraq and mysterious WMDs and democracy in places that have never savored it, the levees surrounding New Orleans were underfunded and never completed. At least nine articles in the New Orleans Times-Picayune from 2004 and 2005 specifically cite the cost of Iraq as a reason for the lack of hurricane- and flood-control dollars. In early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, according to a Feb. 16, 2004, article, in New Orleans CityBusiness.

How many people died when the flood waters of Lake Pontchartrain drained into the city? How many people's lives were traded for Mr. Bush's Iraqi Gambit? It is reasonably certain that at least one person drowned as the waters rose ever higher. Perhaps the Attorney General of Louisiana will do the right thing and seek extradition of the President so he can be charged with his crimes.

Here's hoping.

What you want to say is:
Imagine Mr. Bush as the Papa of America. In this analogy, Papa left the gate to the pool area unlocked. Little Johnny opened the gate and, playing around the pool, fell in. So, while Papa didn't push little Johnny into the pool, his negligence cost little Johnny's life.

I've been blessed to be one of the top Coastal Vacations earners for almost eight years now and have taught countless people how to make over $100,000. a month from their home. I always try to keep up with what other Coastal Vacations directors are doing. It helps me to stay at the top!

Enjoyed your post C William Boyer and if you are interested in learning my proven "Three Step Success System" that allowed two of my recent students to earn over $300,000. in six months, check out my site... http://www.computermillions.com
