Common Sense? Where?

If you read my entry yesterday, you may have gotten a whiff of my anger against the US government for leaving the poor sods in the Mississippi delta area alone after Katrina beat the shit out of the country.

Well, what was the first thing coming to mind when a human being with the slightest bit of common sense would look at the situation of a) the world in general and b) the flooded regions in the US?

Yes! Get those guys out of Iraq and send them to New Orleans, to help!

Okay, it took me about 10 seconds to write that. It originally took me about 3 seconds to come up with it when I saw the first reports on how badly help was progressing in the flooded regions. (Yeah, I'm a quick one, I know.)

How long did it take Bush to come to that ingenious conclusion?

About a FUCKING WEEK!

And don't give me that "it was a hard decision to take" and "such things take time" shit! It isn't and they aren't! It's the fucking common sense thing to think of, and it's the only fucking thing to do IMMEDIATELY and QUICKLY.

But good ol' Georgie takes almost a week. Now, you may say, he's never been a quick one.
Flashback to when he was sitting in front of a class of pre-schoolers, reading to them from a schoolbook, and his advisor whispers the news about the Twin Towers into his ears... The official 9/11 Commission Report states a time of about 7 minutes until George got up and walked out of the room to "act".
If you hear the words "We are under attack!" from your advisor, WE obviously being the US, how long does it take you to jump up from your chair and go organize defenses?

Well, obviously a "couple of minutes"...

Don't get me wrong, my friends from the US, I know you're not stupid. Well, many of you aren't, but obviously - by far not enough of you. Would you have re-elected him otherwise?

There you go!
