Hurricane Katrina is Bush’s fault?

That didn’t take long, did it?

Leftist bloggers jumped on the “Blame Bush” bandwagon faster than Barney Frank on a Key West cruise ship. From NewsMax:

A handful of liberal bloggers have wasted no time politicizing the Hurricane Katrina disaster, alleging that the Iraq war has stripped New Orleans of National Guard protection and blasting President Bush for not dealing with global warming.

“So far today, I’ve looked at Global Warming and Katrina and the crisis resulting from Louisiana’s National Guard being in Iraq instead of defending their state,” complains the “Swing State” blog.

They go on to complain that Bush is on vacation. It’s a lost cause to explain to these nimrods that a President is never on vacation. After all, whether he’s in D.C. or Texas, he’s still not in New Orleans…right? Then again, I’m sure that these dope-smoking unemployable halfwits wish Bush was in “the Big Easy” (for those of you in blue states, “the Big Easy” is a nickname for New Orleans, not for Bill Clinton).

The gift that keeps on giving. Hat tip to Little Green Footballs.

Here’s the picture that the MSM is running with, of such a spontaneous and touching moment at Camp Casey:	Zooming out, we see the MSM swarm of a clearly manufactured event:

Anyone suddenly get reminded of the footage of Bill Clinton walking on the beach at Normandy and (as sheer luck would have it) seeing rocks not native to that beach that he “spontaneously” formed into a commemorative cross? As with this photo-op, the press ate the Clinton photo-op up like Michael Moore at a Chinese buffet.

Able Danger

I haven’t commented on this yet because I wanted to see how this played out. There are still a lot of questions about Able Danger, but we may begin seeing answers soon. Here’s a link to a story about Able Danger: what it is, and where it’s going. Excerpt:

The Senate Intelligence Committee has contacted the White House asking whether it has a copy of a pre-9/11 chart put together by the Able Danger military intelligence team that identified lead hijacker Mohamed Atta as a terrorist threat.

Time magazine reports that the Committee “last week drafted a letter asking the White House for a copy” of the politically explosive chart, which Congressman Curt Weldon said he gave to then-Deputy National Security Advisor Hadley two weeks after the 9/11 attacks.

Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) has been at the forefront of this matter, and he’s been madder than Jesse Jackson in a room full of broken TV cameras. He thinks the 9/11 Commission will be discredited (not hard to imagine) for this:

“The 9/11 Commission is trying to spin this because they’re embarrassed at what’s coming out,” Weldon told the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” morning show.

“In two weeks with two staffers, I’ve uncovered more in this regard than they did with 80 staffers and $15 million of taxpayers’ money!”

The Pennsylvania Republican said the truth would come out in hearings planned for this fall:

“This information will ultimately end up in a hearing. Senator Specter is preparing a hearing in the judiciary committee. I talked to Speaker Hastert yesterday on the House side. We will bring people in under oath, and they will swear and they will answer the questions.”

Seems that 9/11 Commission Member Jamie Gorelick (rhymes with “derelict”, ironically enough) was instrumental in erecting (and enforcing) the “wall” that prevented info sharing between agencies during her stay as Reno’s Deputy AG during those “wonderful, peaceful” Clinton years. Perhaps the Commission was trying to protect one of its own by sitting on these Able Danger documents?

Or perhaps Able Danger is all puff with no substance, and Curt Weldon is trying to sell some books. You be the judge.
