Wil's Rant

Katrina continues to lead the headlines as the White House's policies get more scrutiny. The American people are rising to the challenge of dealing with the results of the hurricane. Fema has sent Brown back to Washington. It's looking more and more like he's the one who is going to be blamed for the failures of the rescue effort, not altogether fair as the process was not in place before the disaster which would have worked more smoothly and efficiently.

The bad publicity has not stopped the friends of George et.al. from cashing in on the windfall. We might have thought that by this point George might have at least pretended that the contract process was fair, legal, and righteous, no such luck for the American people. What is a disaster for the Southern U.S., and by association and compassion the rest of us, is looking to be great news for our favorite corporations Bechtel and Haliburton. The stench out of Washington knows no bounds! The federal effort may in fact most resemble to incredible success of the whole Iraqi thing.

Which leads to the quick decline in Bush's polling results. The striking thing is that it has taken this long for people to see George in his true light. Depressing and disturbing enough but made even more so by the release of the The Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations outlines the plan for using Nukes to stop terrorists. The more I hear from this Administration, the more scared I get.
