  - One thing you said, in all of that glop, was meaningful - DL - 9/23/2005 1:42:16 AM
    - You missed the main point and dodged others - SDAI-Tech1 - 9/23/2005 2:15:45 AM
      - Which was easy, because there was no main point, nor any others - DL - 9/23/2005 3:00:43 AM

        I never criticized the lack of federal troops. - Davin L. - 9/23/2005 5:40:53 PM
        
        I didn't say you did, only pointing it out - SteveS - 9/23/2005 6:03:07 PM
        
        Gosh, Don't make me pull a Brosz on you. ;-) - SDAI-Tech1 - 9/23/2005 4:59:00 AM
        
        Oh, don't worry- I have no fear that you'll 'pull a Brosz' - DL - 9/24/2005 7:22:14 AM
        
        You know, scarily, in the midst of your diversion, you stumbed upon a point - SDAI-Tech1 - 9/24/2005 8:40:14 AM

        Just a few. - DL - 9/24/2005 2:28:25 AM
        
        Sorry, DL. A story simply mentioning the existence of the convention center doesn't make it. - Tom Brosz - 9/24/2005 3:55:10 AM
        
        Oh, for chrissake- This is getting silly... Does it have to be a Major Motion Picture starring Mel Gibson? - DL - 9/24/2005 6:19:17 AM
        
        Okay, so yuour dropping the crap about the lack of media coverage before the 1st? - DL - 9/24/2005 2:14:14 AM
        
        Why should I wade through your half-baked secondary sources when I have taken the time to go to the actual primary sources? - DL - 9/23/2005 5:35:43 PM

        Don't look at me, I just posted it because it is a correct transcript of the place in question. (n/t) - DL - 9/23/2005 10:11:18 PM
        
        I had no problem with it. - Tom Brosz - 9/24/2005 1:46:59 AM

- So what if he lied. So what if Bush lied. What's the difference? - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 8:31:04 PM

        You don't interpret satire often, do you? - Mary Anne - 9/22/2005 12:58:49 AM
  - This argument of yours makes no sense - DL - 9/21/2005 9:37:16 PM

  - go ahead, blame Bush. - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 8:35:12 PM
    - For non-response by an agency administered by the Executive branch of which he is the head? Sure! - Mary Anne - 9/21/2005 10:01:15 PM
      - I'm sure you will support me then in calling for the immediate termination of all FEMA employees. - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 11:20:38 PM
        
        Only if you will also call for the immediate trials and subsequent incarceration of every single employee of Enron. - Mary Anne - 9/21/2005 11:27:22 PM
        
        P.S. the same should go for all FEMA contractors... - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 11:26:54 PM
        
        You can include Halliburton on that list now. - Mary Anne - 9/21/2005 11:28:27 PM
        
        re: You really have gone off the conspiracy theory deep end. - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 11:34:01 PM
        
        No. Halliburton really is getting Katrina reconstruction contracts. - Mary Anne - 9/21/2005 11:42:04 PM

    - what preparation would have prevented the levy failure? - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 8:38:25 PM

        Lets assume everyone knew the levy was going to fail 60-70 hours before Katrina. - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 8:40:22 PM
        
        Thats sort of the point- they *should* have known the levees were going to fail 36-48 hours out, and ended up doing nothing - DL - 9/21/2005 10:10:50 PM
        
        Who's they? - SteveS - 9/21/2005 11:38:11 PM

        True, but only if you read only Repub talking points - Tony - 9/22/2005 2:06:54 PM
        
        ??? What is that supposed to mean? - SteveS - 9/22/2005 7:39:06 PM
        
        Where did I say the right was to blame? - Tony - 9/22/2005 8:49:29 PM
        
        Your above header led me to think it - SteveS - 9/22/2005 11:26:09 PM
        
        The local and state governments are responsible for their own incompetence. - Mary Anne - 9/22/2005 1:29:28 AM
        
        I thought you were talking about Federal Government intervention before Katrina hit. - SteveS - 9/22/2005 1:59:20 AM
- Oh, the original lead into that, the context that its missing was: - DL - 9/21/2005 5:09:13 PM
