War bill helps Iraqis, may ignore Katrina victims

This is the headline from a news story I saw today at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080608/ap_on_re_us/iraq_katrina_1.

Of course my first thought was duh, why should a war bill NOT ignore Katrina "victims". Last time I checked we weren't at war in Louisiana so why should they be included? Well as it turns out it was just a case of something being added onto another bill because it lacked support to pass on its own merit.

These are the same people that looted big screen televisions in the aftermath of the storm. These are the same people that had ample opportunity to leave the city before flooding and sit around waiting for the water to rise. These are the same people that re-elected the moron of a mayor that sat around with them watching the water rise instead of using transportation readily available to evacuate the city. These are the same people that trashed hotel and motel rooms across the nation as thanks for a free place to stay. These are the same people that refused jobs offered by companies trying to help out.

Exactly how long are we supposed to shell out money to keep these people sitting on their ass? The problem is, most of these people were sitting around sucking on the government teat before the storm and now after two and half years additional money on top of their welfare the milk is beginning to dry up.

I'm Just Saying, it's about time!
