It would indeed be a wonderful world if armies were put to use helping civilians in situations like Katrina or in natural disasters.Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-22506594180379152892009-08-31T22:53:38.846+01:002009-08-31T22:53:38.846+01:00the last minute of his rant is particularly eloque...the last minute of his rant is particularly eloquent and absolutely warranted. it's obviously spontaneous but gets right to the point.<br />i have to say though i emailed wolf blitzer when all this was going on to express how pissed i was that he was blaming the military for their lack of action. blame shifting! to honestly think that the military would not have rather been helping those katrina victims than kicking sand around in Iraq and Afghanistan is complete bullshit. It's not like a couple of privates can just commandeer a plane for Christ's sake. even if they could drive it they would be court marshalled and thrown in jail before they'd even reach state lines.Mrs. M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00183304316110414247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-37774932240588295042009-08-27T12:28:26.979+01:002009-08-27T12:28:26.979+01:00I just watched it, Mrs M.

Yes, Anderson was very good.<br /><br />I thought this video was interesting, too, "Jack Cafferty loses it on Katrina". <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcVCtjwZWIk<br /><br />Hope your hubby is OK.Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-88979579161225956512009-08-26T17:20:15.126+01:002009-08-26T17:20:15.126+01:00Disgusting but sadly not surprising at all.
I will...Disgusting but sadly not surprising at all.<br />I will never forget the amazing Anderson Cooper ripping Mary Landrieu a new one on live television for being utterly useless. This, among other things, is why I love him. If you havent seen it, you really should. <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsuRCXiYGO4<br />Anderson also traveled with the 10th Mountain Division's 3rd Brigade (my husband's unit) during his previous deployment to Afghanistan in 2006. At that time no one else was covering the Afghan war (and most didnt even know we were still there), so he will always have a special place in my heart for that.Mrs. M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00183304316110414247noreply@blogger.com
