Josey,
The comments from Muslims are to be expected. I'd love to see posted here the comments made the Zionist bibical fanatics.

Is this some sort of bizarre coincidence? Not for those who believe in the God of the Bible and the immutability of His Word.
What America is about to experience is the lifting of Godââ¬â¢s hand of protection; the implementation of His judgment on the nation most responsible for endangering the land and people of Israel. ...

The zioloonies first get into the mess, then insist that not diving head first into it is to blame for getting into the mess in the first place.

JNW EDITORIAL Katrina - The fist of God?
By Stan Goodenough
August 29th, 2005 Today is going to be a terrible day for millions of people in the United States as Hurricane Katrina comes roaring ashore on the northern Gulf Coast of the country.
Hopefully, prayerfully, despite the worst-case scenarios being predicted by many weather experts and others in the media, there will not be an enormous loss of life.
But even if no one dies, the thought of hundreds of thousands of people having to leave their homes in the last 48 hours to stream out of the hurricaneââ¬â¢s path, not knowing what they will come back to ââ¬â what will happen to their neighborhoods, their houses, their possessions, almost everything they hold dear ââ¬â is a terrifying thought indeed.
Untold numbers of people are about to be made refugees. Life, as many in the south-eastern USA have known it for generations, is about to change, painfully and dramatically.
For millions more citizens in the ââ¬Ågreatest nation on earthââ¬Â ââ¬â those who are not physically near the advancing storm ââ¬â their existence is also about to take a turn for the worse.
Katrina has forced oil workers to evacuate rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, stopping the production of 600,000 barrels of oil a day. Seven oil refineries and a major oil import terminal have been closed.
Oil prices have already gone through the roof, soaring to a record high of $70.80 a barrel of crude since last Friday. Things could get much worse.
The US is particularly sensitive to oil price hikes. While comprising just five percent of the world population, Americans daily consume 20 million barrels of oil ââ¬â 25 percent of the worldââ¬â¢s total.
Two weeks ago, the monster Katrina was not on any radar screen, although the 2005 hurricane season, which began in July and will not peak until September, had already seen a record number of hurricanes.
**On August 14, citizens in the United States, like people around the world, heard about the issuing of an order for the forced evacuation of Jews from parts of Israelââ¬â¢s biblical land.
For six days they watched as thousands of weeping people were pulled and carried from their homes, forced to leave their gardens, parks, communities, schools, towns and synagogues, everything they had spent decades building; banned from ever returning again. Those scenes were soon followed by pictures of bulldozers and other earth-moving machinery pulverizing the just-vacated homes into heaps of dust.
While this was taking place, a small tropical depression was forming near the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean. Slowly, as the air began to revolve, the nonthreatening weather system began moving in the direction of Florida.**
Yesterday, we in Israel watched as American officials, including President George W. Bush, ordered the mandatory evacuation of New Orleans and its surrounds. That small depression had turned into a frightening fiend. Now we are seeing on our television screens up to a million people being forced to leave their homes. People are weeping on camera, mourning that they are going to lose ââ¬Åeverything we own; everything we have worked for.ââ¬Â
As today unfolds we are bracing to see wind and water pounding homes, whole communities, into the ground.
**Is this some sort of bizarre coincidence? Not for those who believe in the God of the Bible and the immutability of His Word.
What America is about to experience is the lifting of Godââ¬â¢s hand of protection; the implementation of His judgment on the nation most responsible for endangering the land and people of Israel.**
The Bible talks about Him shaking His fist over bodies of water, and striking them.
While the ââ¬Ådisengagementââ¬Â plan was purportedly the brainchild of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the United States of America has for more than a decade been the chief sponsor and propeller of a diplomatic process that has dangerously weakened Israel in the face of an overwhelming, growing threat to annihilate her.
In the context of the last 12 years of peace-process history, and not withstanding the desire of many on Israelââ¬â¢s left to go ahead with this process, the Sharon disengagement plan was something that was forced on Israel, primarily by the United States.
ââ¬ÅIt is a fact that Israelââ¬â¢s very existence is in grave danger, because of our nationââ¬â¢s sponsorship of 'land for peace' plans, which have led her to the brink of war,ââ¬Â writes US author William R. Koenig, in his 2004 book Eye to Eyeââ¬â Facing the consequences of dividing Israel. (21st Century Press, Springfield MO, ISBN 0-9728899-9-X).
On the cover, a grim-faced President Bush is shown looking warily at a massive hurricane threatening his country.
Koenig writes, in a book listing major natural and man-made disasters experienced by the USA during its peace-process efforts in the Middle East:
ââ¬ÅAmerica is now experiencing the consequences (curses) of Middle East policies, which have been opposed to Godââ¬â¢s Word and to the preservation of His covenant land.ââ¬Â
As this ââ¬Åstorm of a lifetimeââ¬Â wreaks its rage on the southern United States today, non-believers may be tempted to shake their fists at God. Others will cry out for mercy. Will God hear them?
Our prayer is that He will.
ââ¬ÅPray for us. Pray for all of New Orleans,ââ¬Â a weeping woman resident of the city pleaded on an international television network Sunday evening as Katrina barreled its way towards her.
Many in America couldnââ¬â¢t have cared less about Jews being forced out of their homes and losing everything they have built. Here in Israel, many Jews will be feeling for the Americans who are now facing similar tragedies, tragedies brought about by the forces of heaven rather than through the political power of men.
Canââ¬â¢t you see the link, America? Wonââ¬â¢t you see the link? [url]http://www.jnewswire.com/library/article.php?articleid=676[/url] =================== Yes! I can see the link. It's obvious. For acting as an agent for Satan's Spawn we are being punished! [sarcasm] It's easy to be a religious fanatic.
ââ¬ÅIt is a fact that Israelââ¬â¢s very existence is in grave danger, because of our nationââ¬â¢s sponsorship of 'land for peace' plans, which have led her to the brink of war,ââ¬Â writes US author William R. Koenig,...
I love it! This "American" is more worried about Israel supposedly being on "the brink of war,ââ¬Â while due primarily to Israel's policies, our own homegrown Likudniks and a US policy of "Israel First and America Last" the US finds itself in one of the most useless wars ever fought.

Yep, another way of saying "those who bless Israel will be blessed in return." I suppose 9/11, the USS Liberty and a host of other evils inflicted on us by Israel are simply a "blessing". Since the founding of Israel we have bounced from one damn problem to another, most of thse problems coming out of Israel.
These folks are as bad as the Communists...

He thinks it's all about him. What a drama queen. I'd like to meet that jerk some day, and kick him squarely in the nuts. Stan is not "Good enough" to breathe the same air as good people.

Show of hands: who thinks for a moment that this ongoing fiscal disaster will divert Dime One from the Israeli aid package? Who thinks that the US will have the guts to kibosh underwriting that 400K-per-Gaza-Jew windfall in light of the devastating human need in Katrina's wake?
Who thinks we'll be begging Iceland and Pago-Pago for Katrina Kash so as [I]not[/I] to renege on a nickel of our Israeli commitments?
There are any number of religious cranks out there and they will [I]all [/I] have their particular methods of shouting [U]fire![/U] in a crowded theater starting about now...and naturally all of them represent the One True Truth (all 578 of them).
And - of course - asking them to kindly shut the hell up, if only for the moment, will be 'denying them their free speech'.

IR,
The business about the money for the levees being used for the war for Jews and oil instead should be used as a wedge issue and tied to the 2.2bil. Sharon wants. I don't think they'll be able to cover this up, try as they may. Too much has come out and it is right out in the open for all to see.
Hell, use it like an icebreaker for all to see the Judeo-plutocracy with the facade removed and bared fangs showing.
