Why give North Korea free oil and not help Small Business in New Orleans?

small business management
ShortBus 43 asked:


Small Business is the backbone of the community. Yet 70% of the SB set aside was spent on self management. (Housing claim investigators etc.) And less than 3% of Business got a dime.

The Senate hearing on Katrina had the head of the SBA under the lights. Looks like all the money went to waste.

And now after shafting New Orleans we agree to supply North Korea with oil at tax payers expense.

    Isn’t that a copy of Clinton’s plan…that GB and gang criticized endlessly. I smell hypocrisy.

    Because there is a bigger picture going on. Besides, Bourbon Street doesn’t want to nuke us………………

    The deal N. Korea wants is almost the same one they had under Clinton. Clinton’s political sanctions, no-fly zones, and aid basically kept N. Korea happy and stopped them from developing weapons. When Bush took over, he basically called off the agreement. Then N. Korea decided to start making weapons. Now, N. Korea has weapons, and Bush wants the same deal they had before to stop them from making new ones.

    New Orleans is not threatening the world with nuclear weapons.
    Although I think your Mayor is capable of it. He’s the one dragging his feet, blaming everyone else.

    Because the liberals said “Appeasement in our time”

    Remember, Bush is going to be keeping a close eye on North Korea to make sure they are honoring their non-proliferation agreement. Bush had to pick a commodity he doesn’t mind wasting tax payers’ money on and watching, oil.

    Politics the way to parlay deals and clean up government without war eh? Remember New Orleans is in Louisiana, and we purchased it From France eh? And then that makes them a State of American Property and they are all Americans? You know super bowls? And Mardi Gras time? They won’t wage war on us eh? So we have to broker deals with the enemy to keep them away from the gates! Amen!

    What we should have done is told North Korea it was alright to have Nukes as long as they aimed them at New Orleans when they practiced.

    moonie is wrong. GWB is not supplying N Korea with nuclear fuel, nuke rods, and a nuke power plant. That is what Carter came up with, and what Clinto approved.

    W/ GWB the nuke plant is shut down.

    Re: New Orleans, the city of new orleans is not in the process of enriching uranium for nuke war.

  11. Sean says:

    Because Bush is president and he does stupid things.

  12. Opinionated says:

    So far New Orleans hasn’t threatened to nuke us and destabilize the world.

    Please Explain to us after opening our wallets to New Orleans Natives where the money went. It seems to me that people who had nothing to do with the Hurricane and local politicians seemed to make out well. Why a democrat congressman in your area had a freezer full of cold hard cash and ya’ll still voted him back to congress. Your Levee workers that you pay for worked on the levees that failed. Blanco got huge amounts of cash as did Nagin, Where did that money go. What about Landreiu and her project in New Iberia? The finger is at you and ya’ll. Foreign policy is clearly not your forte’
