STOP OCCUPATION OF NEW ORLEANS NOW: This is not Iraq:
...
Why the news media does not pay attention to the fact that the Administration did not want to save New Orleans otherwise it would have got the pumps working rather than making it a city under siege. Why right from the beginning the Bush administration treated the New Orleans like an enemy to be conquered? A territory to be "secured"? Bush administration went after New Orleans as if it is Somalia or Iraq. They went with Maximum force of armed troops with shot to kill order and instead of food the helpless citizens were faced with armed counter-insurgency units as if they were Taliban. That is why the water changed to sewage and raw sewage mixed with decomposing bodies and household toxic materials transformed into poisonous black contaminated toxic stew that resembles WMD.
...
Neo-Cons went to secure and pacify the city and not to save it.
