Feds now lying about why they cut NYC and DC's anti-terror money by 40%
by John in DC - 6/02/2006 11:56:00 AM

Right. The Bush administration cut NY's (Hillary Clinton) and DC's (no vote in Congress) homeland security "stop the next 9/11" monies because the application wasn't emailed http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/02/nyregion/02security.html?ei=5094&en=498eb719611a43db&hp=&ex=1149307200&adxnnl=1&partner=homepage&adxnnlx=1149264430-j8GQQLyLkJiTt2DqfL9hzg, it was faxed instead.

What is this, 5th grade?

Putting aside the fact that it appears the administration is lying - read the article - are they really trying to tell us that they would let the next September 11 happen, the big one, the nuclear one as they keep telling us, because New York City faxed their application instead of emailed it?

If this is true, that the Bush administration is holding back funding to stop the next September 11 because of the equivalent of grammatical errors, then everyone involved involved in this decision, up to the top of the Homeland Security department, needs to be fired.

...............

They're using our 9.11 money for politics.

The war on terror is over. We lost.

1. Apparently, it was also not double spaced, but single spaced...

And it was on three hole punch paper...

My God, they're lucky they got ANY money! :wtf:

What the hell is wrong with these people?!

6. This government is not interested in ACTUALLY protecting us...
...Katrina proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

We're just here to bankrupt so they can play "Fall of the Empire" from the Emperor's (Nero) role.

margins!!!! They CENTERED it instead!!! That's good for a ten percent reduction, right there!!!

2. To the top...where the "Buck Should Stop" with clueless Bush.
We already know where the "Buck Stops" now: In Halliburton's, Cheney's, Rumsfeld's, et. al., pockets.

4. This reminds me of how certain areas of Louisiana
Were left out during the Katrina debacle.

Although this administration is highly unpredictable, some things never change.

5. You have no idea how petty some grant administrators can be
Some of them have been known to contemptuously toss aside volumes of paper representing months or years of research and preparation because the papers weren't stapled or paper-clipped just so.

It's Murphy's Golden Rule - "He who has the gold makes the rules."

11. Faxed? Hey, maybe the application ended up in Seattle.
NEEDY TEXANS' APPLICATIONS FAXED INTO A 'BLACK HOLE'
Misprinted form leads many to send info meant for the state to a puzzled company in Seattle

14. Ah yes, when all else fails, blame the bureaucracy....
remember when Louisiana didn't get the help they needed because the Governor didn't ask for it?

FUCK THEM AND THEIR PATRONIZING BULLSHIT!!!!
