I agree. that's why I think this war is being mishandled. First thing we
should have done was seal the Iraqi borders. That would have taken a huge
effort and required sacrifice..........but this thing might be pretty much
over by now if we had done that.

more funding for the Southeast Louisiana
Flood Control Project would allow the Corps to more quickly pump out the
floodwaters inundating New Orleans.
"Had we had the SELA project finished ... we could more efficiently move the
water out of the system because it's a big drainage project," Strock said.
Other presidents also have taken aim at the Corps' budget. President
Carters' first veto came against a big water projects bill passed by a
Democratic-dominated Congress. And President Clinton squeezed the Corps
budget as well. Doing so frees money for other White House priorities.
"I fought every ... administration when they tried to use the Corps of
Engineers as a piggy bank to pay for other projects," said former House
Appropriations Committee Chairman Bob Livingston, a Louisiana Republican who
represented the New Orleans suburbs for more than 20 years. "I had major
battles with the Clinton administration."
"Going back to Carter. They've all sought to draw down the Corps of
Engineers and put it elsewhere," he said.

Hybrids seem to be a stop-gap solution to me, not longterm, but I'm up for
anything that doesn't use gas at this point.

Any relief program under any president would be overwhelmed by this. (and
BTW, I can't stand Bush)
New Orleans is a geographical and logistical nightmare in any scenario. Three
main highways access it, two are down.
Large population of poor folks, most of who happen to be black, making it
all too easy for commentators to play the race card.
Lots of addicts who did't leave and decided to play "Escape From New York."
Hell, where's Snake Pliskin when we need him?
Anyway, none of this is constructive....
....as far as bein' "fugly," as Dabney Coleman says in Modern Problems, "I'm
a damn good lookin' man!" and I have probably gotten laid in New Orleans
more than you have.
nanner nanner nanner!
;0)I would appreciate it dude if you could not use profanity to insult NG participants,
especially in the subject line. I can undestand getting worked up and all,
and I think it's good to be passionate about your views, but I think we need
to show some respect and keep things civil.
Where possible I'd also prefer we kept political stuff on the General group.
I understand topics can drift though...
Cheers,
Kim.

Calling forum participants names, calling anyone a racist, and profanity are
completely useless. I really don't care how much you hate any given
president, some of the stuff that has been posted here is just slanderous
mudslinging. IMHO, that removes any credibility you have in an otherwise
respectful debate. If you have to slam people and align yourself with an
rather poorly outspoken, ill-informed grandstanding rapper to make your
point, you are probably better off keeping your opinions to yourself. None
of this serves any constructive purpose.
Respect others, or no one will want to respect you.
Regards,
DedricNo, you replied with hate. Go back, reread your posts.
