FEMA Chief - a liar too?
Here is Michael Brown’s Official Bio at the FEMA site:
http://www.fema.gov/about/bios/brown.shtm
Quote incase it get’s changed:
Michael D. Brown was nominated by President George W. Bush as the first Under Secretary of Emergency Preparedness and Response in the newly created Department of Homeland Security in January 2003. As the head of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Under Secretary Brown leads federal disaster response and recovery operations and coordinates disaster activities with more than two dozen federal agencies and departments and the American Red Cross. He also oversees the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration, and initiates proactive mitigation activities.
Additionally, Under Secretary Brown helps the Secretary of Homeland Security ensure the effectiveness of emergency responders, and directs the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Integration Center, the National Disaster Medical System and the Nuclear Incident Response Team.
Under Secretary Brown has led Homeland Security’s response to more than 164 presidentially declared disasters and emergencies, including the 2003 Columbia Shuttle disaster and the California wildfires in 2003. In 2004, Mr. Brown led FEMA’s thousands of dedicated disaster workers during the most active hurricane season in over 100 years, as FEMA delivered aid more quickly and more efficiently than ever before.
Previously, Mr. Brown served as FEMA’s Deputy Director and the agency’s General Counsel. Shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks, Mr. Brown served on the President’s Consequence Management Principal’s Committee, which acted as the White House’s policy coordination group for the federal domestic response to the attacks. Later, the President asked him to head the Consequence Management Working Group to identify and resolve key issues regarding the federal response plan. In August 2002, President Bush appointed him to the Transition Planning Office for the new Department of Homeland Security, serving as the transition leader for the EP&R Division.
Prior to joining FEMA, Mr. Brown practiced law in Colorado and Oklahoma, where he served as a bar examiner on ethics and professional responsibility for the Oklahoma Supreme Court and as a hearing examiner for the Colorado Supreme Court. He had been appointed as a special prosecutor in police disciplinary matters. While attending law school he was appointed by the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee of the Oklahoma Legislature as the Finance Committee Staff Director, where he oversaw state fiscal issues. His background in state and local government also includes serving as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight and as a city councilman.
Mr. Brown was also an adjunct professor of law for the Oklahoma City University.
A native of Oklahoma, Mr. Brown holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration/Political Science from Central State University, Oklahoma. He received his J.D. from Oklahoma City University’s School of Law.
And a interesting article at Time.com:

This should lead to some interesting fall out…

RE: Will the situation in Iraq improve in November?
Really? We rounded up Japanese citizens and put them in concentration camps where we ruthlessly tortured them (based on we treated them worse then we do Iraqis in jail today) leaving them without meals, in their own defecation and without the rights of their citizenship.
Prove it. Just once back up one of your own statements with a link…and don’t pull this look it up for yourself crap, just one time throw up a a link, I don’t care if it is from Rush’s site at this point…validate one of your statements please.

RE: Govt. Response to Katrina
Why don’t you ever learn that Federal Money can’t be used for the state
FEMA appropriated that money for the explict intent of levee repair and it got diverted by HLS. It doesn’t get any more Federal then that.

Why can’t you look anything up for yourself? Again I will explain this graph for you.
Shows total dead of 1746 from May 1st 2003 to present. Of those 1356 were KIA, or killed in action. I can’t seem to find where the govt. proper is releasing numbers broken down by month like this ( shocking I know ) but if you break that down it is about 80% of the deaths each month are KIA deaths.

That took two seconds to look up on google and I am sure there are many more, but since they are not noteworthy I guess you don’t recognize them.
Remember we landed forces in France as Germany had rolled all the way over to the coast? If we don’t get involved Germany has alot more reasources available to work on the Eastern front. The US was not the only force present but if D-Day never happened and we never secured a way to get aground for the rest of the countries with that many troops, Russia falls sweety. To re-enforce this, and I apologize for using liberal media source:
http://www.486th.org/Photos/Misc/stats.htm
You figure we had probably 40% of our total troop count on the ground in Europe, so that is like what, 6 and a half million troops. Plus without the Normandy landing ( and I am not discrediting any nation here ) I dont’ think the pooled resources of the rest of the allied nations could have secured that or any other coastal landing point to begin a staging area.

It says to stand up against evil, doesn’t say anything about being judge and jury as the US see’s fit ;)

RE: Govt. Response to Katrina
The only other things on that list were:
al Qaeda and UN SC violations, but 90% of that was about WMD. If you don’t believe me read it yourself, Darth posted it…

RE: Canada's response to Katrina:
After all, who, exactly, was it that invaded Berlin?
If the US doesn’t enter the war, there is no one for Hitler to fight in the entire Euro theather, so put double as a real safe estimate of the number of German forces in the Battle of Stalingrad and you have Russia losing it instead of the turn of the tide of the war.

RE: Will the situation in Iraq improve in November?
I’ve never posted a link from micheal moore…in fact I don’t think anyone ever has, you just seem to think everyone does
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iraq_casualties.htm
Since you always complain about stuff being too hard to read:
June 30 0 147 - 2004
June 77 0 316 - 2005
Columns go confirmed dead, reported dead and finally wounded. So in answering your remark made back in Nov. of 2004, the number of soliders killed is not steadily decreasing, it is in fact staying about the same with months of great flux. Now some more various links from google:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/31/AR2005083102249.html
I found this one interesting, although it’s from Canada so it doesn’t count in your eyes:

RE: Canada's response to Katrina:
Later we sent hundreds of thousands of American boys to die on their soil so they could be free from the Germans and we did it twice. Never received so much as a thank you note and to make matters worse, we still have to pay rent on the land our boys are burried under in France! RENT!! They saved them from imperial domination and paid with their lives and WE HAVE TO PAY RENT!
If we didn’t go over there, you would not be posting on this board as you would be in Russia without the ability to immigrate over here. You better be more respectful of WWII and the American contribution instead of blind ignorant tirad’s against France.

RE: Will the situation in Iraq improve in November?
Good job deflecting sport, but you clearly stated a year ago:
I think we’ll see a steady decline of soldier deaths in Iraq provided whoever is elected stays the course and finishes the job.
And that has not been the case…regardless of how many people die on the road in Illinois.

RE: Govt. Response to Katrina
Who gives a sh** why he was taken out? I don’t care if took him out cause he was a Yankees fan. I really don’t care, nor do I care if he and Reagan and the Pope and Mother Teresa all had Christmas dinner together.
The problem is simply who are we to decide who is a bad guy or not? The little man in N. Korea is pretty bad, but I don’t see us invading them. I have always had my doubts about those silly people in Iceland, should we remove their leader as well? To invade a country under false pretense is bad enough but your justification is that of a country hell bent on world domination.
In the case of Saddam, it was general world consensus that he was an evil tyrant. For a while he was OUR evil tyrant, but he was still an evil tyrant. If Iran had never taken our citizens hostage in the 70’s then we probably would have never supported Saddam’s militias.
However, since he WAS a tyrant and we DID put him in power, then it was our moral and ethical responsibility to the world to right the wrongs we did and remove him from power and allow the people to create a democratic regime where no one sect held power over the other two based only on religion.
We arn’t advocating invading some African nation and killing some no name dictator who takes pleasure in raping 8 year old girls. We can let the UN handle that since we didn’t put him in charge. We did put Saddam in charge and it was our duty to remove him. It’s like when you spill milk on the kitchen floor. Is it your mommy’s job to clean it up, or is it yours? Well, who spilled the milk, you or your mommy? You right? Well then it’s YOUR job to clean it up. (I have this arguement alot with my husband, it’s his job to lower the seat on the toilet, he lifted it, he can lower it.) Okay, that’s a simplification obviously, but the principle is the same.
Well laid out response AND you refrained from telling me I have no education…why can’t this Jen come out and play more often?
I see where you are going with the Saddam thing and if that was the reason given to the US I bet their wouldn’t be as much hostility toward the war based off the supposed proof of WMD ya know?

RE: Will the situation in Iraq improve in November?
All wars and police actions are similar and should be used to determine just how violent the violence level is in Iraq. What else should we compare it too? The average number of soliders who die driving home from basic training? Okay, that was kind of a joke.
I think we’ll see a steady decline of soldier deaths in Iraq provided whoever is elected stays the course and finishes the job.
Huh…guess that one didn’t work out so well for you?

Although I am glad that Saddam was never presented the ability to fire a nuclear missle thanks to the Israelies, what if the Russians in the 60’s decided to bomb a few of our nuclear plants? Why is it just in your eyes for a country to be removed of it’s nuclear capability that is not the US? We are not judge and jury for the rest of the world and cannot think like that. I worry everyday that WWIII will be forced upon us due to trying to remove another countries ability to wield a nuclear weapon.
And the war resolution you pasted is sort of funny if you read it…it talks about all the violations of the UN Security Council, but did the UN authorize the war? The rest of the reasons we went to war were based off of the evidence of WMD, which we all know never turned up. And then there is the “harboring terrorists” clause…shouldn’t we go invade Saudi, Lebanon and most of N. Africa? If you are going to gloat about something at least do it on something with more merit then the trumped up reasons to go to war.

RE: NFL Picks: Pats vs Raiders
I hate the Raiders, and I thought Collins looked his typical scattered self but lord did you see how often Moss got TRIPLE teams? Quick math - there are 11 people on each side of the line…
1 QB
2 RB
5 O-Linemen
3 WR’sto the Defense’s
4 D Linemen
3 LB’s
2 CB’s
2 Safety’sNow if 3 of the 4 people in your secondary are covering one person, that leaves 2 WR’s completely open to do as they please…I think no matter how bad their QB sucks with their already great WR’s Curry and Porter the addition of Moss will force subpar teams with no pass rush to play alot of nickle packages against da Raiders - which only opens up the field for play action draws to Jordan. Still…the Chiefs should prevail in both meetings this year :D
