Open letter to Dubya. From a soldier

This letter is powerful. It sums up the complete and utter disdain that the president and his administration have shown for the plight of the hundreds of thousands of ITS OWN CITIZENS caught in the nightmare that has become New Orleans.

Any leader in his position who TRULY cared about his own people would have taken IMMEDIATE and drastic action to prepare for the coming catastrophe.

Bush was incapable of stepping up to the plate for the simple reason that he is incapable of feeling compassion. It might be as simple as that. Forget the fact that he has a low IQ and has about as much leadership in him as a sheep. All he needed to have was true compassion for the people of New Orleans. Then he would have cut short his vacation as soon as he was told that this could be a serious storm, i.e. before it actually hit, and could have appointed a competent person to take complete control of all relief operations.
But no. He just bungled from one disastrous press moment to another, at each step running behind the facts and developments. So obviously unaware of the enormity of this catastrophe.
The only positive thing to come out of this is the fact that many of the people who voted for Bush last year have now woken up to the fact that their president is a true moron.

People are dying, in America, of dehydration, hunger, and disease, because we took too long to respond to an emergency. The US Army can drop a bomb with pinpoint precision overseas within an hour of receiving the mission, and they’re telling me it took our leaders THREE FUCKING DAYS to drop food and water on our own soil?

...Your citizens are dying, and I personally hold you responsible for their lives. As the president, you are a public servant, NOT a king. Your job is to serve the people of the United States of America and to uphold the Constitution, not to preach your Biblical beliefs and to play golf. I’m sorry the hurricane disrupted your vacation. It must be awful for you, but I assure you, it’s far worse for the victims.
