On Sunday, September 4th 2005, the Washington Post quoted a "senior
Bush official" who said that "as of Saturday Louisiana Governor Blanco
still had not declared a state of emergency". The goal was to make the
governor look like a fool. Why the newspaper quoted an UNNAMED source
would be interesting in its own right, but you can be sure that the
Post's article will be quoted widely by the neocons who won't bother
to mention that the Post printed a correction on Monday, 5 September
2005.

Now read the correction:

"A September. 4th article on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
incorrectly said that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D) had
not declared a state of emergency. She declared an emergency on Aug.
26.".

George W. Bush... liar-in-chief and a disgrace to America.

Actually buffwit..even if she had declared a state of emergency, she
still would have needed to have asked the Feds for help. She didnt.

Sucks to be her, and her constituants. She and Nagin did however have
foresight enough to get their own family members the hell out of Dodge
before the storm hit.

But then..thats typical for Democraps. They always look out for their
own..and when they look out for others..they expect everyone else to pay
for it.

What's so hard about getting on the telephone with the PM, or Sadr, or
whothe****ever and say, "Hey there! I'm the lop-eared Syrian ruler-guy, why
don't you folks start acting right?"

Why do they have to be asked to do that?

What the **** would be accomplished by doing that?

Doesn't mean ****.

FEMA had plenty of stuff nearby. That isn't the issue.

It was the ****** Mayor's job, nobody else's, to evacuate his people. He
had a thousand busses parked that he could have used. He didn't. He told
them to walk their ass to the Dome and abandoned them!

That had NOTHING to do with Bush.

I don't think you are accurately describing their offer.

From the AP article that was cited:

"`We're not the only player, we're not the single player. But we are the
main player in this issue,' he said. `Our role is going to be through
supporting the dialogue between the different parties inside Iraq with
support from the other parties, like the Americans and any other country in
the world. So that's how we can stop the violence.'"

He's suggesting something more intensive than a single phone call. The Iraq
Study Group has suggested that Syria could help.

"The U.S. bipartisan Iraq Study Group recommended in December that the Bush
administration make diplomatic overtures to Syria and Iran to use their
influence with Sunni and Shiite extremist groups to curb the violence and
prevent the conflict from spilling over into the rest of the Middle East."

Possibly Syria's self-interest and ours will coincide.

"He insisted that Syria, Iran and other regional powers have a stake in
bringing peace to Iraq.
"`So if we have this chaos in Iraq, it will spill over to Syria and to other
countries. So saying this, like saying that the Syrian government is working
against the Syrian interest, this is impossible,' he said."

It is absolutely not guranteed to work. But this troop surge probably won't
work either. It is beyond me why our leaders can be seen as virtuous for
being willing to sacrifice American lives, and not seen as foolish and
cowardly for refusing to sit down and have a ****ing conversation. Syria
may try to work against our interests, so we should bear that in mind while
we sit down and talk.

O.P.

CAIRO, Egypt - Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview aired
Monday that the Bush administration does not have the vision to bring
peace in Iraq and that his country could help calm the crisis if
approached. Assad told ABC's "Good Morning America" that U.S.-Syrian
cooperation was the "last chance" to avert a civil war in Iraq

EXACTLY? I don't know enough about diplomacy to precisely describe a
scenario. He is offering to support "the dialogue between the different
parties inside Iraq with support from the other parties, like the Americans
and any other country in the world." It seems Syria could be in as good a
place as any other country to impartially foster meetings between the
parties involved. For some reason there seems to be a convention that a
third party has to intercede in order for opposed sides to have an excuse to
discuss the possibility of ending a conflict, rather than just wait for
one's side to win, surrender, or be defeated. And an outside party can be a
helpful goad when the parties fighting seem otherwise disinclined to talk.
The fact that they are fighting is a good sign that they are disinclined to
talk.

If we were to take Syria up on this, I guess the word would go out that
whatever sides exist in this fight should send representatives to Damascus
or somewhere, and they would sit and talk and see if there was any room for
compromise to end the fighting. If the sides wouldn't take Syria up on
this, then nothing would happen.

As I said, I don't know much about diplomacy. I just know that,
historically, parties representing different countries, even countries with
bad relationships with each others, have met and had discussions with each
other, and that sometimes these discussions have been fruitful. The Bush
administration seems relatively unaware of this, so a country in the region
that wants to make this happen seems like something Bush should be convinced
to take advantage of.

Not that I entirely trust Syria's intentions, but I don't know how they
would be likely to make things worse by getting Iraqis talking to each
other.

Without a thrid party one side or the other might just shoot the other
across the table!

Here's the problem. Iraq has a legitimately elected civilian government.
The notion of their being another side IS WRONG. There's ONE side. The
legitimately elected civilian gov't IS Iraq. Everyone else falls into ONE
of these categories:

1) Peaceful law-abiding citizens.
2) Iraqi insurgent-citizens, criminals.
3) Foreign terrorists, criminals.

Explain to me why ANYBODY would negotiate with CRIMINALS?

You think it would be beneficial to LEGITIMIZE CRIMINALS as an actual legal
entity thereby worthy of COMPROMISE?

BAGHDAD, Iraq -
Iraq invited officials from Iran,
Syria and other neighboring nations to Baghdad next month to discuss the
security situation in the country, a government official said Thursday.
The Foreign Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to disclose the information, said the
talks will be the first of 10 such meetings to take place in the Iraqi
capital. Iran was the venue for the last meeting in July.
Along with Iran and Syria, Iraq has invited Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to the discussions. The Arab League,
Organization of Islamic Conference and the
United Nations also have been asked to attend, the official said.
