What could the reason be for holding back on the water & food?

[Imagevision]

There must be some reason they're deliberately holding back on the aid?
Anyone have a clue? appreciate input/opinion.

1. the result of holding back food and water is people die. Why do they

want people to die?

[kestrel91316]

22. It's actually quite simple:

They want them to die because they are poor (a burden on the taxpayers), and black ("inferior stock"), and probably Democrats for the most part.

I want Bush's head on a platter. And the whole cabinet, too.

2. Photo-Op isn't until tomorrow

Anything before then may not be credited to Jr. "taking over".

5. Could Cheney hand off the rebuilding of NO. to Halliburton??

13. You mean, when? "Friendly fascism" What stock soared last year?

Halliburton was there in a heart beat, when they thought Jebs state was in danger, wheres the offer now.They could afford to do it for free!

9. Right on!! Shrub only achieves Glory through misery.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. Because they are afraid of getting shot at? Anyway that's their

story and they're sticking to it. Really, I don't know why, but it looks real bad on their part and for you FReepers, I DON'T FEEL SAFER NOW, DO YOU?

14. Helo's getting shot at? - where is the National Guard?

whats's the reason for not dropping pallettes of water at the superdome??

19. I heard someone on NPR who is working relief - he sounded terribly

shaken and talked about the shootings and how they're trying to deal with it.

They have a set of ground rules: Don't stop for ANYONE but the police or military; Don't stop if you have a flat tire; and so on.

There are rescue workers doing the best they can with what little they have and what little they can do, but they're a speck in a sea of need.

4. They have looted FEMA and put an unqualified bungler in charge.

Bushco's job is to loot America for their corporate masters: they have no fucking clue how to lead or govern.

8. It was said

by a DUer...OPERATION CLUSTERFUCK
What more can anyone say?

[natrat]

12. the guy talks a good game though

from watching him on tv you would have no clue as to how truely criminal it all is

[Indy Lurker]

6. don't know why you would hold back on the water.

As far as the food goes, healthy adults can go several days without food.

The "downside" of feeding people is that there are no restrooms functioning, and the waste they produce could be considered more of a health risk than not eating.

7. They want to decimate a generation of african americans...

but these people keep surviving. God Bless Them!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. Burying is cheaper than housing, schools and rehabilitation

the bottom line is everything to the ruling elite

[MellowOne]

17. My conclusion as well

There's no reason that a country like ours cannot bring in food and water to these people.

[RC]

23. There is no reason we can't evacuate them.

Look how many people we got out of Viet Nam at the last minute.

[Eloriel]

11. various reasons

several of them outlined in various places among thse links:

15. Someone listening to scanner reported that...

16. INHUMANITY (the only reason I can think of) n/t

[Island Blue]

20. I think they want the situation to turn into utter chaos & lawlessness

That way they can blame someone else for their inability to act.

[Imagevision]

21. They're allowing people to die because these people are expendable to Bush

24. Waiting for the full-scale rioting to start

Then Chimpy declares a "Nashunal State of Mergency" exists and suspends the Constitution.

This is the goose that laid the fucking golden egg for PNAC...Now they won't even have to PRETEND that this is still a Republic...
