Giuliani Creates 'Catastrophe Committee,' Appoints Bush Loyalist As Its Head
January 10, 2008 06:30 PM


Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign announced on Thursday the formulation of a Catastrophe Advisory Committee, designed to provide the former New York City mayor with advice on the needs of local communities in regards to catastrophe response.

What purpose this committee will serve Giuliani's White House ambitions remains unclear. His campaign did not return a request for comment. But the mayor, in a press release on his website, explained it as such:

"Every community in America must be prepared for natural disasters and terrorist attacks, which is why I support the creation of a National Catastrophe Insurance Fund and why I have made ensuring that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters one of my 12 Commitments to the American People..."

As curious as it is to create an ad hoc committee on catastrophe preparedness in the midst of the campaign is the individual who Giuliani appointed to head that committee. Joe M. Allbaugh, the man who once headed the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will formally hold the title of National Chair.

Allbaugh headed FEMA prior to the disastrous reign of Michael Brown. In fact, he was the man who made Brown the Number 2 official at the agency. During Katrina, as the country suffered through the most botched disaster response in its history, Allbaugh was on the ground in the Gulf region -- not to help in reconstruction, but to get lucrative business contracts for corporate clients. His companies included Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), the subsidiary of Halliburton; TruePosition, a manufacturer of wireless products, services and devices, and the Shaw Group, a provider of engineering, design and construction services. Another Allbaugh client, Service Corporation International received a mega-contract through FEMA (through a subsidiary) to help with the recovery and relocation of Katrina victims. ......(more)

1. Good idea...let's design our own catastrophes..

God always provides messy ones where it is difficult to decide which victims to ignore.

If we design our own, we can target them better so they only affect poor people and brown people. We can eliminate all of that collateral damage to rich white people completely. :)

Do I really need :sarcasm:
