So the Governor of Kansas doesn’t know what she’s talking about, right? This is going to get ugly this summer. We’re already having bizarre weather. The state of Florida is on fire, with over 200 fires burning around the state. There’s a big bad weather system swirling off the Georgia/Carolina coast, wreaking havoc on beaches all the way to Florida. The midwest is experiencing big time flooding. Bush is going to say everything is ok and they’re ready to respond to catastrophes at home…..until we truly find out they’re not. And Tony Snow is such an asshole. Our troops are deployed to protect Americans??? I don’t think so you friggin idiot. They are deployed to protect oil. It has nothing to do with protecting us. God I’m sick of this shit.

The White House on Tuesday dismissed charges that the Iraq war effort had stripped the United States of resources needed to fight catastrophes at home in the wake of a devastating Kansas tornado.

“I think they’re separate issues… just as in a time of war, you know, the Pentagon plans for more than one conflict at a time, you have to be able to do more than one thing at a time,” White House spokesman Tony Snow said.

“So the fact that you have people deployed in a time of war to protect Americans is important, but at the same time you also maintain your capability of dealing with domestic concerns.”

US President George W. Bush is to visit Greensburg on Wednesday after the small Kansas prairie town was flattened by a tornado on Friday which left at least 10 people dead.

Bush is still haunted by the specter of Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged New Orleans in August 2005, and left US authorities heavily under fire for failing to act quickly to send in rescue and emergency services.

Greensburg, a town of some 1,800 residents about 120 miles (200 kilometers) west of Wichita, was virtually obliterated by the giant twister which struck late Friday, and Democratic Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius has already complained of a lack of lifting equipment to help the rescue effort.

She charged that the necessary machines had been deployed out of the US for the war in Iraq, increasing pressure on Bush locked in a standoff with the Democratic-controlled Congress over funding the conflict.
