Except in this case I can't find anything to suggest anyone, thin-skinned or otherwise, reacted to the pictures, much less overreacted. Or that there was any caving-in done. Were there complaints that prompted the action?

So, you're saying they couldn't have gotten there before Saturday? I'm just trying to get this clear.

So, when I say everyone should be accountable, and I am focusing on just the later days, which is when I think Bush should have gotten troops there and regained order sooner, you think I am blaming him for the whole disaster? Well, that's an interesting reading. Again, if what you get out of...

No, I mean the troops who arrived Saturday. After the hurricane. When Bush reportedly invoked IA and got them there.

I've proven it. I can't account for your attack. I've been discussing. I've provided links. I've posted in good faith. I've been attacked on a personal level. And it happens every time I bring up Bush. Here. In other threads. Happens every time.

Untrue.

Well, if your experience says they couldn't get troops there until Saturday, possibly. Because I don't believe it could take that long, based on what I've seen and read. I think they could have gotten in days earlier.

Oh, gee. That's just great. LOL. I'd be more willing to discuss with some people if they drop the personal "You're a hater" garbage. But we do what we can. It's a remote possibility that he couldn't, I believe. It's being reported Bush did use it, and by Thursday seemed to be preparing for...

Go ahead. Here is one link. There were in other threads many other links to discussions posted. I started this thread to keep it all in one place.

Of course you don't have to. But I don't think the information is correct. And when they weren't and people were dying, invoking IA would have gotten them there, wouldn't it. Unless you think there was no way to get them there before Saturday. Nope. But I watched the news and I know what...

See above. This post comes directly after several about my "hatred" and several others that are very close to if not over the line to being personal attacks. I am trying to defuse that and because I feel there has been a constant thread of overly personal posts, I prefer to not answer.

I really don't want to play into your fixation on me and I think that post does. I wouldn't have before you "All you post is this" and deeming me a Bush hater. Your posts are often more about me and my motivations that discussing the issue of thread. That this one follows the others, in which...

Well, I'd been looking into it for a few days, and I'd found all that info. I think that's a good indication that he could have used it, so I'm going from there. It's possible he couldn't have but that's not what seems to be true. And if there is something that says a president must wait to...

Maybe. Maybe there would be more of them around to scream. I only know if he had invoked it, lives would very likely have been saved. Didn't his father?

Sorry, Tex. Not playing the game. I'm here to discuss the hurricane, not to police other people's posts or have mine policed, except by mods.
