This maybe the first time that we’ve had the WTF Moment follow in successive posts, but oh well.
Today’s moment is this: The Red Cross is being denied any and all entry into New Orleans. The focus is on evacuation.
So basically, they want the hungry, starving, and dying people to get themselves out before they get food, water, or medical aid. Fucking brilliant, I tell you.
Idiots. Our nation is being run by heartless fucking idiots.
I know people have made the querry, “what if this had been a biological (or other) attack”, but I’ll take that a step further. Just how safe are we feeling now? Don’t confuse feeling safe with feeling relieved like those who are sitting home wiping their brows with a hearty sigh of thankfulness they weren’t directly affected by Katrina’s wrath or abandoned by their government in the aftermath. No, I mean us as a nation. With our troops strained to capacity between Iraq and New Orleans, what if we were attacked NOW? Think the terrorists are so kind hearted they wouldn’t consider kicking us while we’re down? It begs the question in my mind.
