Disaster Response
Just a quick hitter here.
Remember the Katrina disaster? Bush and his administration didn't get things going til about 4 or 5 days after the levees broke. Totally inexcusable. It was then, it still is today.
Now we have the Lebanon disaster. Same, same. It could be said that W.'s bunch is getting worse instead of better when it comes to disasters. This time they wait 13 days before they begin to intervene and Condi gets a few new expensive suits and heads over there for a bunch of photo ops. The pattern I see here is a tad disturbing, these particular folks simply play off of disasters for political purposes only. There's no human concern at all because you couldn't act like that and still care about the human element. Why would you wait to try to stop the killing? Perhaps killing was the point.
