bush has to take some blame, hes reorganize the entire governmetn and promised during the next disaster the government woudl be prepared. He failed misrably. He spent 100's of billions of dollars to prepare. Can you imagine what would happen if there was a nuclear terriost attack. Its time to rethink the whole strategy of homeland security.

Katrina should be a wake up call. We need to be involved in the middle east especially with Iraq holding the largest undeveloped oil reserves. Imagine if that whole area fell under AQ rule.
Also we desperately need more refineries.
Irag was exporting oil before the war. Now they have to import oil. Furthermore, all of Saddam's reserve audit figures pertaining to how much crude they really had/have are proving flawed and bogus. Iraq is an unqualified disaster. There has been no major oil discoveries in years. They find a little every day BUT that wont make for the shortfall from extra demand. Exxon maybe making money today. But at the current rate they will have 0 reserves in like 13 years. In other words, all the stuff about Oil shortages are proving correct. I have come to believe Peak Oil is for real. There will be substitutes and people will adapt. But Oil is in a secular bull market. There will be setbacks. But unless someone out there makes a mammoth oil find. It will keep going higher.

Had the country invested in renewable energy technologies, prior to now, oil reserves and refining would not be a issue.
If the entire world switched to hy-brid vehicles we would be back to this point in 6 years.
However we need to do both.
There is 3 times as much oil in the Rocky Mountain oil shale fields as there ever was under Saudi Arabia but up to now it took $80/ per barrel to make it feasible. But with new technology that is coming down. We absolutely need both as well as nuclear.

Uhhh, the oil in Iraq doesn't belong to us.
Your plan is to protect the supplier. Exactly the way a drug addict wants to make sure the drug trade continues because of the addiction.
Hmmm, speaking of which, how much have we done to stop the flow of drugs out of Afghanistan.
I didn't think so....
We had out wakeup call in the 70's, and the corporate entity known as the United States of Corporate America, oil producers, auto makers, made sure America went back to sleep....
Good and your solution is to let AQ own the oil. Brilliant.
You liberals have stopped every new refinery, every nuclear power plant, and any domestic exploration. You've had great success but lousey results. The same in NO, great success at keeping it Dem but lousey results for your victims.
ummm tell me that to the rapists who rapped and murdered an 8 year old girl. And that was one girl among the hundreads being raped and beatened by the thugs. You keep crying racism, these are black men beating and raping black woman and men. You have to get your ass out of your mouth and start looking at reality. These are thugs, who are organized and armed. They are killing black people. Yes its time to shoot to kill these thugs. Im sure you wouldnt have a problem if these were white or asian thugs raping and murdering people.
Quote from sputdr:
This is a good example of why racism exists to the extent that it does in the United States.
Looters should be shot on sight.
What I do personally is really none of your business, is it?
Oh, I fogot, you are a stalker.....

How do you know what people are giving or not giving?
Your "shut up and just donate money" is typical of those who want to keep the heat of Bush Inc. [/QUOT
Okay then, did u give a donation?
And stop being paranoid, I think bush is awful.
You are delusional. AQ has never said they want to own the oil, nor would we have to buy oil from them.
Geez, your spin is out of control.
Now we have to be in Iraq to protect the Iraqi people from big bad AQ.
It is not our fucking oil dimwit.
The republicans are fully in power right now. How many nuclear plants are being built?
Waiting....waiting...waiting....

well I have to agree with Zzzz america shouldnt be in iraq. And I agree with you they have to build new refinaries,nuclear plants, and domestic exploration. The problem is that america is spread too thin, all of the army corps of engineers are in iraq/afgahistan, national guard are all in the middle east, all of the carriers are there. Its a mess, but it doesnt excuse why homeland security failed. In the last 4 years the government has ploweds 100's of billions in homeland security and preparing for these kind of situations. They failed plain and simple. I think everybody has to agree they have togo back to the drawing boards. if this was a nuke attack, can you imagine what kind of chaos there could have been.
