The Bush administration are slow learners. While millions of people all
around the world told the Bushites that invading Iraq was a bad idea,
Bush referred to them as a small focus group! Now, resources that were
deployed to Iraq are not available to help with the hurricane relief
effort. That sucks, but then so does the fact that Louisiana and
Mississippi voted for Bush in the 2004, so it seems obvious that they
got what they voted for, which also sucks, but hey, one has to deal with
the consequences of one's actions.
