Jim Baker,
Concerning your question from your last post, I specifically disproved your staement in from post 26(a) “you seem now to defend the efforts that the Republican administration made in the aftermath of Katrina”. That statement was false. I never stated that. Additionally you stated in post 22 that “The government is absolutely incompetent in these situations because they are incompetent in any situation that requires any real effort”. I disproved that statement as well by illustrating the government’s response to Katrina after Bush was forced to respond.
On my knowledge concerning the oil buiness, I’ll remind you (again) that this debate is not about condemning BP or any other oil company. Yes BP is responsiible but that is irrelevant to this discussion. The topic being debated is the media coverage of this disaster versus the aftermath of Katrina.
On your defense of Bush, it is your opinion that he couldn’t “have fixed”. If that statement was supposed to mean he didn’t delay in responding for four days, then once again you are wrong.
Finally, if you feel inferior to me, then you should take some time to make more informed comments about this topic. Unlike you, all of my posts have been on topic and courteous. One of the purposes of debate is to arrive at answers through arguments that are based on facts. In the future, I would suggest you try that.
