From Fallujah to New Orleans

category national | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Sunday September 04, 2005 20:44author by Long John Report this post to the editors

Bush and Blair did for Fallujah what nature did for New Orleans
From Fallujah to New Orleans
From Fallujah to New Orleans

Bush and Blair slaughtered the citizens of Fallujah with their bombers.

Nature killed the citizens of New Orleans.

The dead citizens were all innocent in both places.

Perhaps we should now stop bombing Iraq.

Refugee in Fallujah.

Freedom fighters were not killed in Fallujah.
The citizens murdered by Bush's Marine murderers was innocent and civilian.
Just as in New Orleans - murdered by Bush's policies!!
The white hillbillies of Louisiana who voted for Bush - how come none of them were left in the superdome to rape and riot???

72 billiondollars were approved for the reinforcement of the levee system surrounding New Orelans last year. The money never materialised instead it went to 'other projects'. The only other project putting a dint in the US budget is Iraq.
So you can see clearly now how if Bush stopped bombing Fallujah, his fellow Americans in the South may not have had to die.
He dosent care,he's incapable of it. He refers to refugees as "those people in that part of the world"

He might also have an education system in which 64% of the male population is barley literate, or a health service which could take care of all the sick who cannot afford it. But if people are healthy AND educated you might have a problem of control which wouldn't make the mulitnational Cheney, woolfowitz, pearle, Rummy, Gates Amoco,Shell etc...etc.. companies happy.

FOLLOW THE MONEY!

This is what America gets when they start fighting wars in the name of God - the WRATH of God! Only the innocent people get hurt not the neo-cons that rule america.

And this is only the beginning.
When Bush gets around to appointing his fascist cronies to the Supreme Court then the fireworks begin.
Just wait until they ban abortions - claiming to save the lives of unborn children.
But who benefits??? - Big business like Halliburton!!!
