It's Slowly Starting To Sink In

Now the first response to any natural disaster is supposed to be a military one? That means that we have an entire Department of Homeland Security, 180,000 people who are under the auspices of the Department of Defense.

That would be the same DOD that started planning the Iraq War three years ago. The same DOD that sent soldiers to the front line in a hot desert without adequate drinking water, without adequate gear, with defective guns and sometimes without bullets.

Two-and-a-half years after the official start of the war and the DOD still has not managed to supply all of the troops with body armor. That is the solution for DHS employees getting in the way is to let the already overstretched military take over cities in The United States of America?!?

That probably explains why Blackwater mercenaries have taken over New Orleans.

The added buddy back scratch is that Karl Rove is going to be in charge of the reconstruction. Yes it is the very same Karl Rove who was promoted after he outed an undercover CIA operative for petty political vindictiveness. The very same Karl Rove has been rewarded again with another shiny new promotion to run a bigger meaner political operation.

The only thing I can think of asking about now is, was he rewarded for lying under oath, or is there something else that we missed?
