The already under-funded and under-manned EPA gets drafted to go to work in Iraq. In fact, according to the the full email sent yesterday to “all EPA Employees”, it looks as if all Government agencies are now being encouraged to send their employees to do Iraq’s work. Good thing everything is already taken care of here in “the homeland.”

SUBJECT: Support for the Reconstruction of Iraq
FROM: Luis A. Luna, Assistant Administrator
for Administration and Resources Management
TO: All EPA Employees
The United States is currently supporting the Iraqi people as they build new essential services, their economy, and other government and political institutions. The President has called upon all Federal departments and agencies to support the rebuilding of Iraq through details of Federal employees to the Department of State’s Iraq reconstruction Management Office (IRMO).
…
The Environmental Protection Agency supports the President’s request for detailees and looks forward to doing our part to help in the reconstruction of Iraq.
What exactly would EPA employees have to do, to help Iraq? I don’t understand…employees have to physically go to Iraq?
JESUS! if bush-cheney-rice-rummy-et-al are so all-fired set on reconfuckingstructing the god-awful MESS they created by bombing the SHIT out of Iraq why don’t THEY just FUCKING GO themselves already?! God knows they’re not doing us any damn good over here!
and where is my FIVE-FOOT-TALL font when I need it?!
WOW-this keyboard is smoking! Probably in cyber contact with the above.
Six damn near perfect lines. You did fine without your font.
Send Bay Bay Buchanan over there there. She’s better at opening her mouth mouth for the White House than Monica was in the day day.
Now they are asking federal employees in general to go over there? As if they are not needed here?
I don’t know the details, but that sounds messed up.
No, Bush just wants the EPA folks to go so he can pull shit here without them in the way.
Bu$hco pretends to do something to help fix the mess they have made in Iraq. Their pretence includes several interchangable excuses d’jour. The one they used today was that "reconstruction efforts are being hampered by the violence". Translated it means we are not willing to spend any money on the Iraqis, its all needed by Halliburton, Kellogg Brown and Root, Carlyle, et.al…..while their stock soars and they stuff their pockets with US tax dollars, they are busy trying to figure out how to steal the oil there, Kinda hard to get serious about a bunch of brown people who are considered sub human to all Americans over there. So what if they only have electricity 3 or 4 hours per day. And so what if their homes are now a pile of rubble. And so what if they have no clean water. And who cares if their sewage runs into the streets. And cry us another river that your hospitals have all been destroyed and you’re at the mercy of the US army for medical attention. And who cares if your children starve or have no education? And if you want a job it has to be as a soldier or police sucker, otherwise be one of the more than 50% of unemployed. God, we’re doing a great job of bringing Iraqi freedom American style.
Some facts to go along with the rumors:
1. The events of 9/11 took place on a day and at the same time of day that hijacking and terror drills in the northeast (NY specifically) were taking place.
2. The London bombings took place as drills to deal with the exact kind of event were taking place.
3. Nuclear preparedness drills are to take place in the US in August of this year.

MMIIXX–
As I understand it, FEMA is scheduling a practice emergency on August 6. That is also one of the days (according to WorldNetDaily) predicted for a possible attack on the US by terrorists.
Coincidence?
Don’t send any neocon feds to Iraq if the increase of civil rights is what the invasion and occupation is about.
They are constantly trying to weaken civil rights here, which is the basis of freedom.
Therefore if they are sent to Iraq they will diminish civil rights there.
It might even be enough to waken up the MSM … nah … not likely.
somewhat off topic
Have people seen this from the Daily show? Its quite good.

Bush lacks credibility on Iraq.
BY JESSE JACKSON
Hi, MMIIXX and Unirealist – I think everyone should seriously consider staying home on August 6!!! Isn’t FEMA the shadow, American govenment-in-waiting???
WOW, we all know how much they hate the EPA, but to send the to Iraq??? Is that the new policy – if we don’t like your philosophy we’ll send you to a war-zone?
Perhaps we should stop calling this country America, because it in no resembles it.
Uh, pardon me for asking…but what about all those oil revenues that were supposed to pay for the rebuilidng effort?
Did Cheney hold another "top secret" energy conference? Is Iraq oil money going elsewhere? Just asking, that’s all.
Does anyone know WHERE they are scheduling the FEMA training on Aug 6?
Hopefully not in my neck of the woods.
Charlie
I suggest that anyone of us near any "training" exercises initiated by this admin should vacate the area until the "training" is over.
The training mentioned is at Charleston; silent preps are, however, taking place elsewhere. A Fort Worth facility, normally shut down, has lots of activity, lots of semis, heightening of the chain-link fence. Iodine has been being purchased in bulk (for radiation treatment?). It’s speculated that several bombs will detonate in several medium-sized cities throughout the U.S.
EVERYONE stay home!
Ironic, that August 6 and 9, 2005 mark the 60th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States.
WarpSpasm #20 –
I’m pretty sure the "irony" is intentional, aren’t you?
Ya, I’m sure it’s intentional, nothing surprises me anymore. The 6th falls on a Saturday, I think I will stay close to home.
Boy this is really scary.
Are people aware of this?
In a recent issue of The American Conservative, intelligence analyst Philip Giraldi wrote:
"The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing – that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack – but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections."
This is not on the web, but in print. This is very disturbing. It sounds like Cheney is counting on something like 9/11 happening again, so he can justify nuking Iran. I think the whistle needs to be blown on this. This might have some relationship to the recent spate of bombings too.
There’s more about it here: http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=6734 and here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2.../25/133532/006 But that’s about it, so far… well a few more blogs have picked it up, but we need a secondary confirmation.
And now that I’ve heard about this exercise, I’m really getting nervous. 🙁
I do not trust them at all.
Perhaps the growing exposure about this may dampen their plans. More and more people are concluding that Bush deliberately orchestrated/allowed the 9.11 attacks – imagine what things would be like if people were suspicious BEFORE the attacks happened.
well, barring that too many people don’t die, I think it would lead to his impeachment and hopefully jailing.
I heard about this first from Peg C, and glad to see that others are following up.
#25, I hope you are correct about growing exposure. However, I would guess that it is a fraction of 0.01% of the general population who have even started to come to grips with the Bush/ 9-11 attack connection, even though there’s plenty of evidence available on the internet to support this view.
Do you have any ideas about how to make sure that there is, indeed, growing exposure about the possibility of August events?
The only high-profile person that immediately comes to mind as a contact is Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. She has recently been a presenter of "The 9/11 Commission Report One Year Later: A Citizens’ Response – Did They Get It Right?"
Her web page is here. Unfortunately, that doesn’t give an email contact address.
A friend showed me the email that everyone at the EPA got regarding that. And he was alarmed enough about it show me. This is a Repug! And he knows my political leanings almost as well as I do. (I lean left, honest.) At first I thought I was just being paranoid, but now I’m a little frightened. :O
Sorry, that should have read, "And he was alarmed enough about it to show it to me."
I was so astounded to read this story here that I forgot how to type in English.
Honestly, I held in my hands a printout of this email. I thought I was just being paranoid. Holy s**t!!!
Maybe "new employee’s" at EPA will have a clause in their contracts to cover "future developments" in Iraq.
The EPA is B***’s least favorite agency. Maybe this is how he plans to dispose of it entirely.
Peg C,
I hope you’re right. If that is all they’re up to I think we can straighten that out. But if they’re still planning on a "permanent presence"… I’m NOT feelin’ good about this at all. :confused:
Speaking of August 6th:

Uh oh…
Couple of good links:
Chris Floyd: "…and the worst, far worse, is yet to come."
Ray McGovern links Cheney directly to the forged Niger documents
Peg C. #34
Uh oh, indeed. When I received the email about the Rally on the 6th, I got chills.
BTW thanks for the links. I’m reading Chris Floyd’s now.
Shiver me timbers.
Warpspasm (#20), the reason that August 6 was designated a possible terrorist attack date was because it is the Hiroshima anniversary. Other possible dates were suggested in the WorldNetDaily article, too.
This is my first post, though I read here alot.
This information, especially with the tie-in of the EPA being sent to Iraq(?), is unnerving, to say the LEAST. The dates add a twist as well.
Anyone else remember the August 6th PDB? Odd.

I try to check back on older threads from time to time. Just saw your post. Good for you!!! Lots of mention of Aug 6 on various threads. Anyway, welcome, and keep posting. VG
