I'd love to sit by with my hands serenely folded while lies make it halfway around the world. I find I can't. It isn't just Bowser and Donald. This crap is making mainstream news, and I am going to put the facts on the table.

As for your use of the term "propaganda."

I've exhaustively linked to my sources both on this board and on the current events board. They include the regular military, the Coast Guard, the Corps of Engineers, NOAA, and others.

I've linked to damage reports, construction timelines, deployment schedules, and newspaper stories from local sources. I've linked to information much older than this storm, and some older than Bush's administration. Charts, details, and numbers.

What are the sources on the accusing side here? When there are any at all? Look for yourself.

I've been watching the blogs, news sites, and other places to gauge general opinions. This is a well-known right wing blog. This is one of the most reasonable and popular left wing blogs. Scroll down a while. You tell me what's happening here, and where the focus is.
