Mayor: New Orleans will seek aid from other nations
06 Feb 2006 21:30:12 GMT

By Michael Depp
NEW ORLEANS, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Shortcomings in aid from the U.S.
government are making New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin look to other
nations for help in rebuilding his hurricane-damaged city.
Nagin, who has hosted a steady stream of foreign dignitaries since
Hurricane Katrina hit in late August, says he may seek international
assistance because U.S. aid has not been sufficient to get the city
back on its feet.
"I know we had a little disappointment earlier with some signals we're
getting from Washington but the international community may be able to
fill the gap," Nagin said when a delegation of French government and
business officials passed through on Friday to explore potential
business partnerships.
Jordan's King Abdullah also visited New Orleans on Friday and Nagin
said he would encourage foreign interests to help redevelop some of
the areas hardest hit by the storm.
"France can take Treme. The king of Jordan can take the Lower Ninth
Ward," he said, referring to two of the city's neighborhoods.
Katrina flooded 80 percent of the city and killed more than 1,300
people in Louisiana and Mississippi.
The Bush administration has pledged billions of dollars to Katrina
victims but five months after the storm, New Orleans remains largely
in ruins.
Nagin said his message to President George W. Bush would be that the
federal government needs to refocus on the devastated area.
"We need your undivided attention over the next six months," he said.
"We need backup. We need for you to make the words that you spoke in
Jackson Square a reality."
Nagin was referring to the president's Sept. 15 address to the nation
from New Orleans, in which he pledged "we will do what it takes, we
will stay as long as it takes" to rebuild.
French Transport Minister Dominique Perben, leading the French
delegation to a city that was founded by France in 1718, said, "This
catastrophe has deeply upset the French people and the French
government."
France, Perben said through a translator, "wants to be a long-term
partner for Louisiana and New Orleans."

Fine. Let Nagin - and New Orleans' other corrupt black politicians
- learn exactly how long foreign nations stay interested in pumping
money into a ghetto. I doubt it will be even a year.

Yes, not even the amount the feds have pledged ($150,000 per man worman and
child) is enough for dumbocrats to get by on these days. The dumbocrat has
to go begging for more.

That's "dimocraps", moron.
You delusional twits are so detached from reality you believe we were
"lied" into war! Of course, some of you are so stupid your felons, so
your vote (and your opinion) aren't really important.
But you are fun to pick on!

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them.
That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998.
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is
clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a
great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will
use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies
is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports
show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and
biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his
nuclear program.
He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including
al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam
Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and
chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten
times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with
the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including,
if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to
respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its
weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom
Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region
and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.
"There is no doubt that . Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons
programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear
programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In
addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is
doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop
longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our
allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and
others, Dec, 5, 2001.
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a
threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the
mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass
destruction and the means of delivering them."
Sen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19, 2002.
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical
weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible
to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as
Saddam is in power."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seing and
developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. We are
confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course
to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities.
Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the
authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein
because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction
in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002.
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working
aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear
weapons within the next five years . We also should remember we have
alway s underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of
weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002,
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years,
every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and
destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity.
This he has refused to do."
Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002.
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that
Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing
capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass
destruction. "[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He
is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He
presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently
prone to miscalculation. And now he has continued deceit and his
consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of
Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003.

I'm not inclined to defend that traitor clinton but he never invaded
iraq. He just continued the bombing and sanctions started by bush41.
He shouldn't have done even that much but never during clinton's 8
years was he accused of waging a war in iraq.

What does the war in Iraq have to do with an incompetent and racist
mayor?
Clinton was found guilty for lying before a grand jury. Yet Bush based
his invasion into Iraq over faulty intellegence and you call this
lying? What a turd!

Welcome to Amafrica.
You hit the nail right on the head. Furthermore, what you have
described is the typical blueprint for any "chocolate city" in
Amafrica, i.e. black politicians crying racism and blaming the white
man for their constituents woes while they use local, state, and
federal funds to become bloated on their crack, whores, and other perks
that they can siphon away from the pocket of the American (white)
taxpayer. Indeed, welcome to Amafrica.

OK, I'll accept that. They shouldn't be getting any help anyway beyond the
insurance they bought (if any). The government isn't an insurance policy
against any possible loss.

"The government isn't an insurance policy

If you deny this, you must deny federal aid for *any* disaster relief.
And if you do that, you create a situation where national security and
other national interests are not served.
You want to deny relief to New Orleans specifically, and that's not
possible with our whole system staked on a doctrine of equal protection.

If Trent Lott is suing State Farm - and not Allstate - I presume
it's because he CHOSE to buy insurance! The issue is why the 99% of

I'd rather pay taxes for that than to continue paying taxes ($5000 per
