1. fascinating

got a link?

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. Here my link from when I posted this advisory on Sunday

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4490806


The NOAA link only shows whatever the advisory is at the moment. But the DU link should be verification enough.

10. thanks, I didn't doubt you

just wondered source. Glad you posted it!

6. multiple posts of this at storm time - it is legit........and

although wind speeds declined maybe 20 mph, the damage to buildings expected from the wind was not nearly this bad, but the storm surge was everything it was predicted to be.

Ironic tho, all the storm surge shots show trashed buildings but almost ALL of the trees are still standing tall (storm surge pics and TV.

2. He didn't know crap. He didn't read this, or the August 2001 memo.

"Bin Laden Determined to Attack United States." He doesn't read memos, he doesn't read newspapers, he goes nowhere without a hand picked audience. First president to do that. Now he will pay. Oh yes, he will pay.

[speedoo]

3. Whoah there....

Just because that warning was published, the Coward is supposed to know the info?

After all, he was on vacation, was he not?

(sarcasm off)

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. Anyone with a brain and an Internet connection

had access to this info. You would think the president would have staff you would have kept him informed. To bad Karl Rove was too busy partying with the Crawford freepers to bother.

9. yeah

hard to read when your're riding a bike.

nah, i shouldn't be so cruel. i'm willing to accept the likelihood that there was no one around to read it to him. my pet... goat.

5. I followed the storm at the blog on

wunderground.com they analyzed it all evening long. It was really interesting and I learned a lot about hurricanes at the same time.

7. How many times have we heard from right wing talk and tv

in the last few days that we shouldn't be in a blame game right now and that anyone who does is just playing politics?

I've heard it from about 5 different talking heads, and isn't it ironic, they all seem to be right wing jerks (could they just be worried about how it might hurt their village idiot?)

[bling bling]

11. That headline seems to follow Bush around a lot.

Sadly, I almost forget sometimes that his job is Commander in Chief. He doesn't command anything. He doesn't do anything. He let's shit happen and then gives speeches about what happened.

I just can't believe this guy is our leader.

[BlueEyedSon]

12. Yeah, just like aug 6 2001
