Our Dear Embattled Leader wants to be known as Stonewall
Once again the White House is witholding vital information needed to find the flaws in our nations emergency response and prevent another failed disaster response.
The Bush administration, citing the confidentiality of executive branch communications, said Tuesday that it did not plan to turn over certain documents about Hurricane Katrina or make senior White House officials available for sworn testimony before two Congressional committees investigating the storm response....Having emptied the Treasury on Li'l Stonewalls Glorious War and tax cuts for corporations, he is also nickel and diming the recovery effort.
....The White House's stance on storm-related documents, along with slow or incomplete responses by other agencies, threatens to undermine efforts to identify what went wrong, Democrats on the committees said Tuesday.
The White House this week also formally notified Representative Richard H. Baker, Republican of Louisiana, that it would not support his legislation creating a federally financed reconstruction program for the state that would bail out homeowners and mortgage lenders. Many Louisiana officials consider the bill crucial to recovery, but administration officials said the state would have to use community development money appropriated by Congress.The Republicans want to be known as the stalwart protectors of "National Security" but as with the 9-11 Commission they refuse to provide important information needed to craft a better response because past efforts are a MAJOR embarassment to The Party of Incompetence. And their egos are more important than Our Country to these swine.
