From the EcoEnquirer.com:



(EXCLUSIVE - Washington, D.C.) Photographic evidence leaked to ecoEnquirer shows what are claimed to be Texas Air National Guard jets flying in formation in and around the eyewall of Hurricane Katrina twenty-four hours before it devastated New Orleans.

The photograph was e-mailed to us by a National Security Agency employee who provided the information on condition of anonymity. The employee's e-mail contained a claim that one of the nation's spy satellites was tasked to the Gulf region to help monitor and guide a squadron of Texas Air National Guard jets that were used to influence the movement and intensity of the hurricane.

The employee said that, while NSA workers were not told the specific reason for the operation, code-named 'Windfall Profits', "we're pretty good at putting two and two together. The theory circulating here within the NSA is that the Bush Administration saw an opportunity to disrupt petroleum supplies by damaging oil rigs and coastal oil refineries. Such disruption would reduce supply, leading to a sharp increase in gas prices, and thus to increased profits by oil companies."

EcoEnquirer showed the evidence to Shell Vice-President for Petroleum Production, Adam Smith, who disputed the claim, telling us "..give me a break! Hurricanes contain far more energy than we could ever influence, even with nuclear weapons, let alone with a few little jets! Besides, this photo looks like it has been doctored...and it doesn't even look like a very good job."

(UPDATE): ecoEnquirer has now traced the e-mail containing the NSA employee's claim to a local D.C. environmental lobbying firm, Nature's Defense Fund. Upon being pressed about the validity of the evidence, an unnamed representative of the firm said they had received the photo anonymously in the mail, and not from the NSA. The representative nevertheless defended their motivation for adding the fictitious NSA details, stating, "The validity of any particular piece of evidence doesn't matter anyway. What matters is that the Bush Administration still needs to explain why their buddies in the oil industry should be allowed to receive such obscene levels of profits after Hurricane Katrina."


PROOF AT LAST! IT IS BUSH'S FAULT!

What I love is that Bush sent the Texas Air National Guard to do his dirty work!
I thought they didn't fly! ::

Bet they only take a couple of jets, not a whole flight.

The funny part of this is that the jets are flying the opposite direction of the spin of the hurricane. I didn't realize that at first.

THEY ARE QUITE OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO SPIN THE HURRICANE THE OTHER DIRECTION!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! ::

But if one thinks about it, it is the thrust from the engine that propels the plane forward. Thus would make this attempt possibly successful as it was. The thrust of the plane would be in the direction of the spin. This is supported by the fact that there are many other jets that are specifically positioned to protect Texas and force the Hurricane to make landfall over Mississippi and Louisiana. This shows the supremecy of the Texas Nat'l Guard over the other two states self protection.

Hmmm, it seems I ruined all the fun? *hangs head and walks off*
