Reply #33: Can someone help me fill in the blanks...what are they "exercising" for?

[CoffeeCat]

An "exercise" implies that someone is rehearsing or perfecting their skills. An exercise is something from which you learn--and apply what you learned to some grander plan or activity.

Ummmm. Ok. That's. SCARY.

If Katrina is an "exercise", what in the frick are they rehearsing for?

Also--I think this was a TOTAL slip. "Exercise" is probably a word they constantly use in their private meetings. Just like Rumsfeld, when he "accidentally" said that Flight 93 was shot down, or when a politician said, "Barney fag". That's how they speak all of the time, among each other. Every once in a while they slip up.

They've obviously had numerous conversations about Katrina's aftermath and how this is an "exercise"--like a rehearsal. I imagine they'll be "testing" certain ridiculous, racist, inhumane, unConstitutional ideas that they have in mind. They'll float them up, and see how the public reacts.

Remember when Trent Lott slipped up after 9/11 and said, "Now we can do all of the things we've always wanted to do!" referring to the Patriot Act, etc. NOLA is another opportunity for them.

NOLA--a city that will be bulldozed to the ground--will be their great experiment....their "exercise."

So, what are they practicing for?

They certainly can't cause another hurricane and the decimation of other cities.
