Did The Air Force Bomb Mid West Levees?

Just wondering since there has been so much destruction, death and ruined lives from the flooding in the Mid West, did the US Air Force bomb the Mid West's levee system as they idd in New Orleans just a few years ago?

Why has this not been brought up in the news and why has there not been Congressional hearings scheduled to investigate these bombings?

Why did it take George Bush so long to visit the area? Why did the Bush Administration let this happen?

    How come FEMA's head is not up on a stick?

    How come the pictures that we see on the news are of those folks working to save their homes, not just waiting on a bridge for buses to come and take them to a new town that they can tear up and terrorize?

    I don't know, I'm wondering. Barak will fix everything though, thats for sure.

    Yeah, he'll have a new law: Trailers must float, and everybody must live in trailers!

    We in the midwest understand that the government has no control over acts of God.

    A city floods, and they want to wonder how it could ever happen, who they can blame, and who is going to save them. The heartland floods, and we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and race to help our neighbors.

    It was done with them silent black helicopters, the price of corn was going to be too low!
    Our Reptoid overlords need more cash to build camps for their upcoming purge of Washington D.C.!

    Must be true, I found it online.

    Yep, even the city folk that got flooded just went to work helping each other prepare and recover. I've yet to see any of the residents of Iowa, Illinois, or Missouri on TV crying about how the government has abondoned them like we saw non-stop during the Katrina disaster.

    Good for you fishermanben, that kind of response and action are what makes this country great. It's not who the politicians are, it's the people who make this country work. Keep up the good work,Everyone.

    They don't call the Mid West the Heartland of America for nothing.

    This trail the folks in the Mid West are going through is just another little speed bump in life that makes them stronger and hopefully, as an example, make the rest of the country stronger.

    Here on dry ground in the northeast we feel compassion and pride for our neighbors in the Mid West unlike the digust and shame we felt during the Katrina ordeal.

    I have not heard one story about how the rest of the country owes them anything due to these floods!

    But yet we still hear about how we owe the people of NO everything![:(][:(!][:(][:(!][:(][:(!]

    Because the midwest is not filled with all the free-loading welfare types that think everyone owes them something for nothing!

    NO is filled mostly with scum (notice I said mostly and not all) that wants a free ride!

    I find it fascinating to compare the current Midwest flooding with the debacle in New Orleans years ago. The lack of a "victim mindset" makes a huge difference. Instead of sitting around and waiting for the gummint to save them, folks just jump in and help themselves. AND THEIR NEIGHBORS -- that is how America still gets it done.

    A boat doesn't need a motor to be called a boat.

    The real question is: if it is a buncha floating trailers, would it be flotsam, or jetsam?

    No, it did not bomb the levees.

    It hasn't gotten the coverage because there is no political gravy to be had for the democrats- blaming Bush- being ladled on by the Democrats' pets, the mainstream media. Katrina's coverage was nothing more than the stale old, "Republicans are racist bigoted homophobes who want to beat/kill/starve/deprive anyone who isn't a middle class or rich white anglo saxon protestant." The media saw a way to help their guys- the democrats- and did so.

    If they saw a credible way to do so with this current disaster, believe me we would see nothing but the flood, 24/7.

    (half serious half smart * answers)

    "Why did it take George Bush so long to visit the area? Why did the Bush Administration let this happen?"
    Italy I think.
    It was FEMA not Bush, they needed something to do after abandoning the Katrina victums.

    "How come FEMA's head is not up on a stick?"
    Because too many people are either busy being pissed at their insurance companies or cleaning to notice FEMA yet.

    "How come the pictures that we see on the news are of those folks working to save their homes, not just waiting on a bridge for buses to come and take them to a new town that they can tear up and terrorize?"
    Comon, I thought we learned all the buses had been sent somewhere out of the flooding? Certainly no way to get anywhere without a bus.

    Funny, many of the news shots show young adults and children working pretty hard to protect their towns and neighbors homes. Dems should be launching an investigation into child labor practices. Would be interesting to see someone from the gummint come in and tell them the youngsters could not help.
