| Right now, we still don’t have the manpower to pick up the decaying, disease-carrying, floating bodies. As Lt. General Honore said on 60 Minutes last night, “Which would you rather have picked up, the living or the dead?” Did it have to be choice? Don’t give us the double talk about Mayor, Governor, FEMA, blah blah. I don’t care what the procedure is. Spare me the Bambi in headlights “leaders” and the fingerpointing. Figure it out, guys! And talk loud so we can hear. The champagne bottles popping in Osama’s cave are deafening.
I choke on the “happy” stories that cable news spoon feeds us as if a little reunion here or there is going to make the boo boo go away. This catastrophe has put our sense of America in critical condition. No more hollow mouths opening with thin upbeat words falling out and splashing like human waste on our feet. Are we supposed to forget when we dropped leaflets and food over Afganistan? Or when we set up massive tented cities to prepare for refugees fleeing Iraq that never came? But we can’t do it in America? Shame on us. Let the outrage rise from our guts to our heads. We have to take back our country. We must demand accountability. Let this tragedy at least give birth to a serious dialogue of what is on the list and what the plan is when what they “never imagined” comes true again. We have no country to invade this time to distract ourselves. We must invade ourselves. We want the truth. |
