Comments on: Running Out The Clock https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/08/08/running-out-the-clock-2/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 09 Aug 2007 03:18:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/08/08/running-out-the-clock-2/comment-page-1/#comment-28379 Thu, 09 Aug 2007 03:18:08 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/08/08/running-out-the-clock-2/#comment-28379 They would just need some of the landing craft to ferry people down the coast away from the fire. They have a 600-bed hospital on those assault vessels, so evacuating special needs people wouldn’t be a problem.

They can fit some big ships off the coast here. They planted the USS Ronald Reagan off the coast for awhile.

Thought I was in Sandy Eggo for a bit watching all the Seabees in their whites run around town.

The military has the resources. The military likes “humanitarian” missions. Everyone in the response from the military gets a medal. If they would let the military help, instead of only permitting them to blow things up, many problems would be solved and lives saved.

We might have to evacuate the City here and no one really knows how to go about doing that.

Have Commander Cookoo Bananas get on the horn and order up a couple of these Russian babies to come over and help us.

You can’t even say what they do is immoral, because the evidence is they they are all amoral – they didn’t have any morals to begin with.

Indeed, they just don’t care, many have died because they just don’t care, and they still just don’t care.

Some things really should be beyond politics; emergency planning is one of them.

I wonder how these people sleep nights. Do they think their own relatives and friends are somehow immune to natural disasters or other catastrophes? Oh, right; I almost forgot… they just don’t care.
