<DIV><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000>Friday, September 2nd, 2005<BR><BR>Dear Mr.
Bush:<BR><BR>Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane
Katrina<BR>and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be
airlifted.<BR>Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers?
Do<BR>you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking
lot.<BR>Man, was that a drag.<BR><BR>Also, any idea where all our national guard
soldiers are? We could<BR>really use them right now for the type of thing they
signed up to do<BR>like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't
there to<BR>begin with?<BR><BR>Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat
outside while the eye of<BR>Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a
Category 1 then but<BR>it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today,
there were<BR>still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this
storm was<BR>on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you?
I<BR>know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you
don't<BR>like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers
of<BR>dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!<BR><BR>I
especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying
to<BR>Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business
peeps.<BR>Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane
was<BR>over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the
dike?<BR><BR>And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how
you<BR>specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New
Orleans<BR>this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even
if<BR>you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to
be<BR>any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much
more<BR>important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN
IRAQ!<BR><BR>On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I
was<BR>moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds
as<BR>you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of
the<BR>disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand
on<BR>some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done
that.<BR><BR>There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try
to<BR>use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that
out.<BR>Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this
would<BR>happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter
and<BR>hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all
their<BR>global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about
a<BR>hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado
that<BR>stretched from New York to Cleveland.<BR><BR>No, Mr. Bush, you just stay
the course. It's not your fault that 30<BR>percent of New Orleans lives in
poverty or that tens of thousands had no<BR>transportation to get out of town.
C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's<BR>not like this happened to Kennebunkport.
Can you imagine leaving white<BR>people on their roofs for five days? Don't make
me laugh! Race has<BR>nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!<BR><BR>You hang in
there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army<BR>helicopters and send them
there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and<BR>the Gulf Coast are near
Tikrit.<BR><BR>Yours,<BR><BR>Michael Moore<BR></FONT></DIV>
