The president cited the northern city of Tal Afar, once an insurgent stronghold. "The savagery of the terrorists and insurgents who controlled Tal Afar is really hard for Americans to imagine," Bush said. "They enforced their rule through fear and intimidation, and women and children were not spared.” The president said Iraqi troops took the lead in the retaking and rebuilding of the city. "In this city, we see the outlines of the Iraq that we and the Iraqi people have been fighting for," Bush said. "A free and secure people are getting back on their feet ... are participating in government and civic life."

You know what cites I really want to see the full power of the United States of America rebuilding? New Orleans. To be honest I could care less about the progress in rebuilding Tal Afar. I do not care.

I am more concerned with the destruction of the gulf coast than I am with the rebuilding progress being made in bombed Iraqi cities. I want my fearless leader to be more concerned with New Orleans than Tal Afar. Bush made decisions that led to both cities being destroyed, true, but I just think our city should be the more important of the rebuilding projects. And he it pains that he cares more about the plight of Iraqi woman in their society than he does about American women in his society.

Evacuees' Lives Still Upended Seven Months After Hurricane

Nearly seven months after Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans and forced out hundreds of thousands of residents, most evacuees say they have not found a permanent place to live, have depleted their savings and consider their life worse than before the hurricane, according to interviews with more than 300 evacuees conducted by The New York Times.Fewer than a quarter of the participants in the study have returned to the same house they were living in before the hurricane, while about two-thirds said their previous home was unlivable. A fifth said their house or apartment had been destroyed. Many have not found work and remain separated from family members.
